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

"We can securely manage both company-owned devices and personal devices enrolled in our BYOD program."
"We have not had any issues with the scalability."
"The user experience with Microsoft Intune is excellent because we can manage users and maintain security and policies anywhere they are."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"Since the introduction of Microsoft Intune, we have had the problem completely taken care of."
"I would say right now that Microsoft Intune is one of the best solutions."
"It is very easy to use; it has a very easy interface."
"The best part of Intune is device control. If we need to block a user from opening something in their organization's system, we can do it from Intune. If we want to restrict the movement of an organization's data to prevent users from copying the data into Outlook, WhatsApp, or their personal Gmail, we can limit that via Intune. It secures all corporate data."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"This solution has been a huge timesaver."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one, as Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment."
"Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options."
"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

"I'd like some more reporting so that I don't have to delve into PowerShell and I can pull more of the local device information such as memory, apps installed, etc. It would be nice to be able to see the apps that are present there but might not be managed. For example, if they installed 7Zip, it could report that back via an installed program or feature to see what was currently installed."
"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."
"Policy and app deployment should be faster, as it currently takes between minutes to hours to apply, with an average of one hour."
"There is room for improvement, particularly in terms of compatibility, extending beyond the well-known major brands."
"Sometimes, the process is unsuccessful when we attempt to reset a device and wipe the data using Intune."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"More reporting functionalities on mail/export basis with a schedule."
"I am always complaining about the reporting side of things. I love how reporting lets us create custom reports, however, I also feel like it could use some updating."
"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."
"I am always complaining about the reporting side of things. I love how reporting lets us create custom reports, however, I also feel like it could use some updating."
"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

"Generally, we get favorable discounts, so it's not too bad. Obviously, we're looking at decreasing those wherever we can to bring value back to the public purse because it's all charity based. It's all publicly funded."
"The cost of the license and the features are justified for myself as a technical person."
"On a scale of one to ten with one being the cheapest, the cost of Microsoft Intune is a five."
"Our Office 365 Business Premium license, including Office 365 and Intune Management, offers excellent value."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Its price is fair. It's a normal price. It isn't too expensive or too cheap."
"Microsoft Intune's pricing is reasonable."
"Even if they charge a premium, they aim to provide equal value."
"The licensing costs for this solution are high."
"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
"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 total ROI is worth every penny."
"This is a pricey solution."
"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."
"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."
