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.

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."
"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."
"It's cloud-based with no need for on-premise infrastructure, you can access it anywhere and start working on it, and you will have the record of data in your hand anytime if you need it quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Intune is having all our devices compliant with our policies."
"Third party integrations are very convenient to use with Microsoft Intune."
"The main advantage is that Intune performs its intended functions effectively."

"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"Jamf Pro centralizes management for all corporate Apple devices, and Jamf Self Service has helped us eliminate unnecessary help tickets."
"One valuable feature of Jamf Pro is Jamf Connect, which helps synchronize passwords from Active Directory to Mac."
"It has made it easy to track and update devices, I love how easy it is to use, and the support is the best in class."
"It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy."
"Jamf Pro has improved the way IT supports education, allowing us to focus more on the education around technology rather than just keeping the technology running, and to collaborate with teachers to help them get the most out of their lessons."
"We use this solution to manage over seven thousand iPads, three hundred and fifty Apple TVs and eighteen hundred computers, with one wonderful system."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"The most valuable features in Jamf Pro are the policies and config profiles, making our life easy to manage many different things in one place."
"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

"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better."
"It would be helpful if there was proactive remediation."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"My main pain point for Microsoft Intune is the contact part. Not all Android or iOS applications have access to integration, for example, contacts."
"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."
"The platform is incredibly slow and could be more responsive. Specifically, when making changes to security policies, I would like to see those changes take effect more quickly."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"We would love to see the ability to have settings apply to mobile devices on a time schedule."
"The dashboard needs to be customizable."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"We would love to see the ability to have settings apply to mobile devices on a time schedule. This would allow us to plan some tasks ahead of time."
"The solution only makes sense if you have a lot of macOS products in your company."
"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."
"Patch management: Software patching has fallen by the wayside for newer versions of Jamf as most users are implementing open source alternatives for keeping installed software patched."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"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."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management could improve the user interface, it is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a license needed to use the solution and we are on an annual license."
"It's affordable. It's cheaper if you have an Office 365, E5, or E3 subscription because everything is there."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"There are licenses required for this solution. We enable licenses on the devices we need to manage."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"Intune is included in the Microsoft 365 licensing package that we have."
"Intune is included with our F3 and E5 licenses."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"Jamf is quite up there. It wasn't the cheapest solution, but it's reasonable. Apigee was cheaper than Jamf."
"It would be beneficial if it could be reduced slightly."
"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."
"Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."
"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."
"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."
