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.

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.

It is a complete and competitive solution with excellent OEM support
Matrix42 is a complete solution in terms of functionality. Still, you need to understand whether it's also capable of managing Kubernetes containers to that extent, and this is not very clear in the product fact sheet. It’s possible with Ivanti MobileIron, though, and Matrix42 seems to be one step behind in this aspect. Likewise, in terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42 to integrate with more third-party tools compared to Ivanti, which has a larger number of integrations due to its size. MobileIron is an older product that has evolved over time, offering advantages in terms of readily available third-party APIs and integrations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"The security features are most definitely valuable. If I have to give an example, the lockdown features that prevent employees from configuring anything or downloading company data are valuable. We get high-quality device protection, malware protection, and information protection at the same time."
"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."
"I really appreciate the features in Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Suite Cloud PKI."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Intune is not only the management itself, but also how well it integrates with other Microsoft technologies."
"For Windows services, there are multiple options within Intune to modernize it to be more internet-facing and dynamic."
"We used to need more resources to manage our devices, and with Jamf Pro, we can now do more with less, which is the ideal situation."
"One valuable feature of Jamf Pro is Jamf Connect, which helps synchronize passwords from Active Directory to Mac."
"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."
"If you want to manage a complete Mac, for example, similar to how we do in a CCM for our core Windows devices, if you want to do that with Mac, then the Jamf tool is the best tool."
"Thanks to Smart Groups and patch management, a lot of the work being done is via a hands-off approach."
"The action and trigger is the main thing for us. We like the kind of repetitive script which we can use there."
"Without Jamf, it would be nearly impossible to manage 700 Macs and 700 iPads."
"Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system If you have your software packages set up via SCCM. It automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote. Additionally, the overall functionality is good."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to assign a package to a user on a system if you have your software packages set up via SCCM, as it automates the process, which is very convenient, especially since most of our people are remote."
 

Cons

"Those are the two features that did not impress me much, and currently with other customers I am improving them with Microsoft directly."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see some kind of analytics report."
"During the onboarding of Microsoft Intune, we faced the problem that the policies were not getting synced."
"What frustrates me the most is just waiting and tapping my fingers, uncertain about whether my changes will take effect."
"Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune is absolutely useless for protecting my environment."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"The self Service UI needs some real improvement; they recently revamped the app, but I don't know if those changes have been for the better."
"It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow."
"Jamf Pro could be improved by providing more out-of-the-box integration with other systems such as Active Directory, Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, and other IT management tools."
"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."
"I would like to see Jamf add more training tutorials and documentation."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
"In terms of integration, there is still room for improvement in Matrix42."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"It is reasonable for the features it has."
"It is expensive. The cost depends on the license that we choose."
"Any bundle package, such as Security E3, covers multiple things, such as AAP, BitLocker, etc. If you go for them individually, they would be more expensive. Bundling makes the price more attractive and competitive."
"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."
"All security solutions worldwide are expensive. Microsoft has allowed a small scale of features within Microsoft Intune for cost-efficient solutions. If you want the full suite, you need to invest more to gain better security features."
"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 product is surely worth the cost of implementation."
"JumpStart is available at an additional cost."
"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."
"The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
"If you have the in-house capability to support Jamf, then paying for onboarding / JumpStart training is a no brainer."
"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."
"I am not sure the price of this solution but I would imagine it is fairly expensive because of the complexity, you would not use it in a small company."
"Matrix42 is more affordable than Ivanti."
