We performed a comparison between BMC Client Management and Jamf Pro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"I like the ability to modify it to suit our environment and the fact that, since it's an Apple-dedicated service, the integration is easy."
"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."
"Having the ability to automate our workflows has been great."
"We can set custom deployments based on every available parameter in macOS."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"The cheaper Jamf School is also a product that has been acquired and decked out to meet more educational needs for a good price. Some features of Jamf School aren't (yet?) available in Jamf Pro and for educational users/customers of Jamf Pro, it would beneficial to have these available in the Pro version too."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"There is still no feature for properly patching T2 Security Chip-enabled Macs."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"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."
