We can manage all aspects of our devices from a single console, easy to scale, and quick to deploy
Intune has many benefits from the Microsoft perspective. This solution can manage Windows 10 devices, app management, and provide security solutions. We don't need to worry about our network connection, and we'll be more secure with regular security patches and compliance. Since everything will be deployed through the internet and users will log in using the internet only, the risks have been mitigated. Security updates, security patching, and the application will be targeted from Intune. The location tracker will be available to track where the device is and the user's location. The user will be restricted from accessing certain applications using compliance policies. Conditional access policies will be based on the reason why the user needs access to the application. Microsoft Intune is one of the best products in the industry for managing Windows devices. The solution has more feature restrictions. The conditional access policies also eliminate the dependency on the on-prem network for the devices. The solution also manages our security settings and a lot of other beneficial features such as Microsoft Purview which gives us the compliance portion. We can manage all aspects of our device from a single console, including M365 services. This allows us to configure data classification types, such as public, private, internal, confidential, and highly confidential.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If the product works, remote access will be a benefit. To this point we have not had reason to have confidence in achieving that access."
"It's easy to manage."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"The solution has reduced the risk of security breaches by 30%."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"Its dashboards are valuable. It is easy to access dashboards and implement policies."
"We use the solution primarily to control mobile devices."
"This solution is very dynamic. I can do what I need to do with it."
"The tool's most valuable feature is a remote connection to the devices. You can also push and lock applications. It helps us lock devices for professional use to control which applications can be installed."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Payloads, application publishing, and cataloging features are valuable to our customers."
"The most valuable features of 42Gears SureMDM include tracking location and pushing applications."
"The solution's customer support is good."
"Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience."
"We found the initial setup to be simple."
"As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager."
"Zero-touch deployment is the most valuable feature because many organizations have employees working from home. This feature allows devices to be configured and ready for use without needing physical handling by IT staff, making it important for remote work environments."
"Jamf Pro allows us to manage all Apple devices from a single interface, making it easy to deploy and configure software, set policies, and inventory devices."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
 

Cons

"I have a lot of Apple products in my environment. It would be nice to have an improved integration of Apple products with Microsoft Intune without Jam."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"The difficulty of the the roll out is surprisingly difficult considering this product is supposed to be an integrated part of the 365 suite."
"Intune could be enhanced by automating application upgrades, similar to how it automates operating system upgrades."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"From a new user's perspective, it may be a little overwhelming because there are quite a few things to look at in the console, however, once you are sort of acclimated and are familiar with your core functions, it's fairly simple and straightforward."
"There should be more focus on mobile device security and integration."
"Online information regarding used cases specific to 42Gears SureMDM will help us do configuration changes more comfortably."
"User creation on Mac must be improved."
"The user interface and customization features are not the best and could be improved."
"The dashboards could be improved."
"42Gears SureMDM needs to improve support because it may take around one to two days to receive a revert."
"The solution’s pricing could be made cheaper."
"As a partner, we consider 42Gears to be a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. So, we should be able to manage users with this particular solution. This is something that is currently not there. It is probably an area for improvement for 42Gears."
"The product is not so convenient to deploy or to configure."
"Jamf Pro should be standardized into one MDM product to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Pro, especially regarding updates."
"A more modern UI in the next release will make the product absolutely perfect."
"Jamf needs to get an inbuilt remote support tool to allow the admin to remote into machines. At present, you can use third-party remote apps, however, a Jamf one would be better."
"There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is moderately priced. There is a monthly license required to use the solution and it is approximately eight dollars per month."
"Microsoft Intune is not cost-effective as a standalone product."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"It is not expensive."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"There is an option to make yearly or monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. Price-wise, the product is okay."
"The tool is expensive and priced at 39 dollars yearly. The pricing is fixed and I would rate it a seven-point five out of ten."
"42Gears SureMDM is not an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a four out of ten."
"Their pricing structure is very good against the competition. Pricing is definitely not a challenge here."
"I am satisfied with the price of this solution."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for 42Gears SureMDM, which is comparatively expensive for an enterprise license."
"It seems fair. It could be a little bit less, but you have to pay for a product. You can't get something for free. You get what you pay for, so if you put in a little bit of money, you're going to get a good quality product."
"JumpStart looks a little bit pricey; however, it is worth every penny."
"The licensing costs for this solution are high."
"This is a pricey solution."
"The total ROI is worth every penny."
"The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
"We have signed a licensing contract for three years. There is an option to buy an annual license subscription, but we opted for three years as it came with a 25% or 30% discount."
"Don’t go into a sales call without knowing all the details of your system because Jamf has a ton of tools outside of Jamf Pro to offer and knowing them ahead of time is a must."
