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 performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"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."
"For our customer, it meant no on-premise systems configuration infrastructure or identity management services were required."
"The most valuable feature of Intune is the ability to reset a lost device and remove all the data."
"I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"Intune helps the organization manage access to its internal apps, data, and resources."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"One valuable feature of Jamf Pro is Jamf Connect, which helps synchronize passwords from Active Directory to Mac."
"Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."
"In closing, JAMF is more than a product or company, it is a family and is simply a must for anyone who has Apple devices in their organization and wants them to be safe and secure."
"Customer support from Jamf is fantastic."
"I really love the remote commands."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Matrix42 Enterprise Mobility Management offers on-premises deployment."
 

Cons

"The only drawback or challenge is that it does not support server deployment."
"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."
"Microsoft Intune could be improved by adding short video tutorials or direct links to Microsoft articles in the information button."
"If you could replace SCCM completely with Intune, that would be fantastic so that you don't have to run SCCM with Intune as an extension."
"It would really be helpful to have the option to manage server operating systems as well, like Windows Server, at least. That way, we could scrap the use of SCCM, which requires a lot of on-premises infrastructure."
"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"There could be more wizard-driven policy development or creation. Some of the policies can get quite complex. If they have a wizard that assists the administrators in creating the policy, that will be a great job."
"Jamf does not go beyond Apple."
"The patch management needs improvement in Jamf Pro."
"Patch management is lacking greatly; more options are needed in order for us to consider using it at all."
"I think that the zero-touch enrolment could be improved. I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"I can only say that I would love to see a more customizable dashboard."
"If I had to suggest an area of improvement would be the UI. It can be very all over the place and complex."
"Conditional access for iOS devices is a thing they need to add. It's on the roadmap, and it would be nice to have that now."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"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

"It's monthly for us, but it's built into the license cost that we pay our IT each month. It's maybe 129 Kroner per head, which translates to £10. There are some additional costs. Our IT had to set up and configure their own server, so there is an extra cost for that, but I'm not sure what that costs."
"It is average. Some of the costs are quite high depending on what the customer currently uses, but overall, it is not bad. I would not say that I would not recommend Intune based on the cost. I definitely would, but they can definitely improve on the cost. So overall, its cost is not bad."
"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"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."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"Microsoft's licensing is more flexible and adaptive than its competitors."
"They have a standard pricing model which they follow, and it's global."
"Jamf is quite up there. It wasn't the cheapest solution, but it's reasonable. Apigee was cheaper than Jamf."
"Depending on how much support you require, it might make sense to add that to the licensing agreement."
"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 of this solution is a bit high but it is worth the money for the features. There is an annual license for the use of this solution."
"The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
"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."
