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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Intune's security features for Apple iOS and Mac OS are helpful. We can check enrollment, manage public and private settings, and manage the organization's data using security key features."
"The product helps organizations have a model or place to allow users to access the corporate resources from any device that the user wants and in a highly secured way."
"These capabilities have made a significant impact in my work, providing a comprehensive view of all devices and features in a single platform."
"Microsoft Intune's autopilot has been nice to have."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"The most valuable feature is Intune's ability to push out updates for the security and antivirus. I also like Intune's copilot and the ability to automate processes. For example, if you have 5,000 employees who are issued new PCs and you need to set them up with everything they need."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."
"Jamf has helped us manage all our devices even remote users that are located in Europe or the States (we're in Canada) it also has helped us have the ability to push security updates and standardize all of our Mac computers in our environment."
"DEP imaging and settings deployment is almost instant from when you click the save button, and it is so good!"
"Without Jamf, it would be nearly impossible to manage 700 Macs and 700 iPads."
"In terms of scalability, this is a very flexible product, and you can easily up and downscale."
"I'm now starting to package up software to deploy to our Macs remotely."
"Being able to place troubleshooting scripts in the hands of end-users has changed the game."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"The very first thing is that it provided a way to manage all of the unmanaged macOS devices across the globe, which was achieved through Jamf Pro Cloud."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"However, in Microsoft Intune that is not possible because Microsoft releases it across the world as one data piece."
"Intune is not the most user-friendly mobile device management platform available."
"The admin portal for Microsoft Intune is not yet on the same level as other Microsoft 365 admin portals when comparing the interface and user-friendliness."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."
"I would like to see a separate reports area where an actual report is compiled and able to be printed."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"I think that the zero-touch enrolment could be improved. I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"I really hate updating certificates and I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed for this solution and it is either included in one of the enterprise license agreements. Microsoft licensing is a mathematical institute, it could be quite complex. We tend to ask specialized organizations to research what the most profitable way it would be for us to use licenses in the organizations."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"With one user base license, we can use Intune for up to five devices. However, with Soti MobiControl, each license is tied to a single device, meaning one license is dedicated to one device only."
"Pricing can be improved."
"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."
"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
"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."
"Licensing cost is dependent on the footprint and foreseen growth."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"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."
"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."
"This is a pricey solution."
