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.

Has supported centralized management of all Apple devices while ensuring high security and compliance

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

"I like that it's very good and very simple. I found that we just needed to have a proper subscription for an Intune tenant, and from the subscription, if we have the right role assigned, like the global admin role or the owner role, we can use Microsoft cloud resources. With the help of that, we can do many things like setting up Microsoft Intune in the cloud to create our virtual machines. All these can be done, and the steps are very simple. I really liked it. I like features like Windows Auto-Enrollment. I like it very much because whenever you supply it to the end-user, it will be ready to use immediately. The end-user only needs to provide the user credentials, and then they are good to go. I also really like Cloud PC, which was recently launched on Azure."

"It allows our clients to have the confidence to centrally manage policies for security. It helps them in securing the organization from a technology aspect."

"We saw approximately forty to fifty percent reduction in manual device setup time with Microsoft Intune as onboarding became fully automated."

"Their price is really good, which is the reason customers move here, because as part of the Office 365 package, they always get the E365 as well, which makes it easy for them to manage their devices without having additional licenses for Intune."

"The feature that we can deploy policies and configuration settings and it will be applied to every user who is connected to it around the world just with an internet connection is very good."

"The feature that we need occasionally but is really important is the ability to remotely wipe a device, control it, and perform similar functions."

"It works pretty well for us."

"The biggest benefits of Intune are the ability to push changes and the added security. When we moved forward with Defender, we onboarded all those machines automatically. That helps dramatically. For a while, we were left with machines that weren't protected. We could see where people had done things they shouldn't have done, and Defender saved our skins a few times. It didn't happen a lot, but it happened enough that it made us glad we made that decision."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"The most valuable feature is that everything is in one place, which makes it easy to manage."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

"The security features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM are very effective, which is why we have been distributing it for the past 15 years."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

"Primarily, it has enabled us to manage all of these devices without the need for a large IT staff."

"The ability to put a device into a lost mode state that will report locations as it checks in has allowed us to retrieve so many lost devices."

"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."

"After a year of testing and perfecting the Jamf we got it to a point where each device is now zero-touch deployment, saving the IT department so much more time and effort and dropping our Helpdesk tickets by about 40%, making it easier for us to focus on more important tasks."

"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."

"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."

"With this 1:1 experience for students, learning and engagement are at an all-time high for our district."

"Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster."

More Jamf Pro pros

Cons

"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."

"I'd like to see an ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."

"From my level of analysis, the feature I would prefer to see added to Microsoft Intune is extensive support. Anything that helps to diagnose the problem and solve it would be useful."

"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."

"If you're looking forward to deficiency, I'd say that the Endpoint Manager support at the lower levels is poor."

"Microsoft Intune has a latency response time issue. The latency has room for improvement."

"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows."

"One issue that Inutune can improve is password integration with the BitLocker key option. Another issue is assigning licenses. We can assign the licenses for some users on the BPM side, and our BPS users work on Outlook 365 but cannot access it there. A BPS person can go to the company portal and download Outlook 2016. They could improve the NDIS part to assign a license directly to the BPS person that allows them to install the Intune device manager directly on our system."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"The disadvantage in connection with Windows devices is that the pushing of policies takes some time."

"The interface is complicated and not very easy to use."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"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."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."

"The patch management is not automated in any way, and you have to do a lot of manual work to upload the current version of applications."

"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."

"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."

"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd like that option available for Mac."

"There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed."

"I would like to see improved integration of some of the additional tools that users create within Jamf itself."

"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."

More Jamf Pro cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is moderately expensive. You can get the license bundled with Office 365 E3 or E5 licenses. The E5s are a bit expensive, but you get some cheaper solutions with Intune."

"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."

"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."

"The pricing is not cheap, especially with inflation. They've had to increase their prices. It's not excessive, but alright."

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."

"The price is reasonable, but they should lower it a bit to make it more competitive. It's cheaper than AirWatch and other products, but I still feel like Microsoft can make a base version or with Exchange online or a la carte only Intune version which will be useful. A customer who doesn't want to go full-fledged E3 or E5 can take out or consume an Intune solution only for their purpose, and we want to target that customer."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"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."

"JumpStart looks a little bit pricey; however, it is worth every penny."

"The cost of Jamf is certainly worth the investment."

"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."

"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."

"It would be beneficial if it could be reduced slightly."

"The price difference between Jamf Pro and VMware Workspace One is not very much, but when counting the cost of my time, Jamf Pro is clearly much better."

"This is a pricey solution."
