JamF Pro vs VMware Workspace One
We performed a comparison between JamF Pro and VMware Workspace One based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: JamF Pro is a PeerSpot user favorite due to dynamic features such as zero-touch deployment, numerous API integrations, Automated Device Enrollment, and device lost mode retrieval. JamF Pro is easily customizable, easy to deploy, and is an excellent tool for those organizations heavily vested in an Apple ecosystem. The consistently excellent service they provide makes it a solid, reliable solution.
"The device profiling which uses the official Outlook email enabled us to control the screenshot feature and prevent copying outside of the organization's application."
"Maturity makes it a stable product."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The many policies available in Microsoft Intune for managing our devices are valuable."
"It is user-friendly, and the performance is also good. It is a convenient product"
"Fortunately, now everything is streamlined into a single, unified platform."
"The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"The DEP enrollment is quite good. We're planning to migrate to the Jamf cloud this month."
"It is a great tool. Its ease of use is fantastic. It is very simple, and you don't really have a high learning curve with this."
"The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"No issues with scalability."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"The antivirus and the ability to push security policies down to the device are key features."
"It would be good if, in addition to the minimal patching and compliance, we could also use Intune for application deployment. For instance, if a device is not patched, Intune should have the ability to push not only a Microsoft patch but also other patches, such as a browser patch."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"The biggest problem we ever have is when something goes out of date after 30 days when nobody has logged into it. We do have a problem trying to get those back online. We've been working with Microsoft to resolve that problem, but that's been the only issue that we've had in the last few years."
"I would like to see micro VPN. I like the way that some of the other providers have done something similar where, as you open that app on an end-point device, it creates a micro VPN straight into your device, which is quite a nice little feature. Also, Microsoft Intune relies heavily on its fellow products in the suite. It would be nice if Microsoft Intune could stand on its own two feet."
"It just doesn't handle software updates well at all by itself. You need to be a scripting wizard to make those happen properly, or you use third-party tools. The Windows feature updates are very difficult to implement. I would like to see a proprietary built-in remote control tool. I know that they have Team Viewer integrated, but it is not seamless. It would be nice if they had a seamless remote desktop capability directly from the Intune console."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"Lacks the ability to deploy more ways of management, managing devices and processing the policies."
"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."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"I would love to see an integrated ticketing system built-in, better reporting templates to help analyze the data (software usage, etc.), and integration with FREE SSL Cert (letsencrypt.org) with auto-renewal."
"I wish there was a profile that could be created for configuring Apple software updates on a global basis for our devices, via a configuration profile."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"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."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"The portal is not user-friendly."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
