Modern endpoint management has transformed onboarding and strengthened remote security controls
The features of Microsoft Intune are straightforward, including Windows Autopilot, zero-touch deployment, centralized device management, and conditional access security controls. Using zero-touch deployment and Windows Autopilot in Microsoft Intune has significantly improved my workflow and organization. New laptops are shipped directly to users with no IT handling needed, and there is no manual imaging or configuration required. These features have a real impact. They save hours of manual setup per device, reduce dependency on the IT team for basic provisioning, and ensure every system is configured consistently and securely. Microsoft Intune has positively impacted my organization by improving device management. Devices are managed from a single cloud console. It has reduced manual work for provisioning and configuration. It has faster onboarding using Autopilot. It has enhanced security posture through enforced compliance policies, encryption, antivirus, and password rules. Conditional access ensures only trusted devices can access resources. I have better support for remote users, as devices can be managed from anywhere with no dependency on office network or VPN for basic management. It has easy troubleshooting and policy updates.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged
The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

I have not encountered many areas for improvement, but there are feature requests submitted to Jamf Pro for reporting purposes that they are working on. Jamf Pro continues to increase its capabilities. One improvement I would recommend is integrating Jamf Setup Manager as an inbuilt feature. Currently, it is a separate tool that needs to be installed and integrated with Jamf Pro. Having zero-touch capability as an inbuilt feature would eliminate the need to work with scripts and configurations. The pricing of Jamf Pro is relatively high. Jamf Pro does not have a fixed price for all organizations. Based on my experience, they offer discounts inconsistently. Due to the high pricing, many organizations are moving to InTune and Workspace ONE. There are many other tools in the market for Mac OS device management, such as ScaleFusion, Addigy, and Kandji. Small organizations are moving to these alternatives, and larger organizations with fewer security concerns are moving to InTune. Despite being expensive, I still rate Jamf Pro highly because of its security features and comprehensive management capabilities for Mac OS devices.

Cons

"There are areas that have room for improvement in Microsoft Intune, particularly regarding integrations."
"One drawback of Intune is that we cannot find devices based on a user's region or location."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"The Mac integration has room for improvement."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"I really hate updating certificates and I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"The technical support needs improving."
"Technical support used to be better; the company has grown a lot, and their support has taken a nosedive in recent history."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The E5 license is expensive."
"Existing E5 license holders for M365, Intune, and Azure, receive a free license."
"We have the business premium licenses for the solution."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"I rate Intune five out of 10 for pricing. It's expensive."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"It would be beneficial if it could be reduced slightly."
"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"The cost of any licensing is certainly outweighed by the time saved from manually managing Apple devices."
"If you have the in-house capability to support Jamf, then paying for onboarding / JumpStart training is a no brainer."
"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."
"Jamf is quite up there. It wasn't the cheapest solution, but it's reasonable. Apigee was cheaper than Jamf."
