Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning
One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

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

"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"Intune has automated the deployment of patches and applications, which is more efficient and easier. It allows us to deploy applications, packages, Windows updates, and security updates like BitLocker encryption more efficiently and easily."
"My favorite feature about Microsoft Intune is that I have good logging capabilities; I can effectively troubleshoot, though I'm also missing some aspects."
"For our customer, it meant no on-premise systems configuration infrastructure or identity management services were required."
"The security posture is very good. It's very customizable."
"The user experience of Microsoft Intune is quite good because there's not much disturbance in the background; it's just running in the background."
"The stability of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."
"The products are quite good when they are operational."
"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."
"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."
"The company provides great customer service."
"The user interface is user-friendly."
"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."
"Jamf Pro has improved my organization because I can have all my computers up to date on certain software, and it's very convenient for me."
"Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"Jamf provides the only complete solution for managing Macs at large and small scale."
"The most valuable features of Jamf Pro for me are the device locator, which helps find missing iPads, and the ability to remotely manage and disable devices."
"Jamf Pro is the only product we can use at the moment because they are ahead of their competitors in zero-touch deployment for the end-user."
"The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference."
 

Cons

"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"They should improve its compatibility with other operating systems such as iOS and Linux. It supports Linux but they still need to work on the iOS part."
"Currently, BitLocker does not support BYOD enrollment, which is a product limitation."
"Intune's privilege management feature, while beneficial, is less intuitive than other Intune features, making it challenging to use."
"One big problem with Microsoft is that they're changing the names of the products quite often, or they're quite consistently doing so. Intune is now Endpoint administration. Constantly switching the user interface or the administrative interface makes it quite hard to keep pace. If you are on a two-week holiday and you come back and look at the same screen you have looked at for the last couple of months, it looks different, which is annoying. Changing things around all the time doesn't make it easy."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."
"UI needs an upgrade, feels very outdated."
"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."
"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."
"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."
"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."
"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"It will be very helpful if we could restore users after they have been removed from Jamf because I have some cases of deleting a computer before unlocking it."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"I would love for it to be able to be the only management tool of my organization. If it could do ticketing and non-Apple devices then that would be huge."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"I would love to see GSX (Apple Global Service Exchange) integration populate purchasing data during the enrollment process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I recently got to know that the AD P1 license is compulsory to use Intune Autopilot, which was surprising for me. Earlier, this was not the case. It is the wrong thing to do. We now need to purchase AD P1 licenses for us and for our customers. I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"With our standard E5 agreement with Microsoft, there have been no pricing concerns. Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Licensing depends on how you are providing support to your enterprise, whether it's device-based or user-based."
"While Microsoft charges for actual usage, it lacks discount options."
"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."
"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."
"I think it pays for itself to let Jamf host the server."
"I know that as a school we get a discounted price, which is good because without it we would not be able to afford it."
"The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
"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."
"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."
"The price of a training pass for five people was $18,000 USD."
"This product is surely worth the cost of implementation."
"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."
