We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Identity and Jamf Pro based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have one MDM that works with Windows, iOS, and Android."
"I like that we can implement conditional access."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"The technical support of Microsoft Intune is good."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"The Autopilot feature is fantastic. It is a Microsoft product, so it deals best with Microsoft operating systems, but it can integrate with iOS, Mac OS, Linux, and Android."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The tool provides a free service that you can integrate for laptop authentication. You also don’t need a separate Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is its stability."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"The Cloud Identity is well advanced in terms of features, applications, and the components that it is offering."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf."
"To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think."
"We can see every single Mac is on which macOS version so we can help users if needed to update their Macs to a saved and current version."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"In the past, I raised some tickets for the enhancement feature, which was missing in Intune."
"It would be nice to have a location tracker for the mobile device management tool. I'm not sure if it exists but hasn't been configured or if it's missing, but we've been unable to utilize the location features."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"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."
"There are a lot of small use cases where we realized that some technical solution was missing in Microsoft in comparison to other products. For example, it lacks something similar to sensing or location-based rules and configurations."
"The main disadvantage seen today is regarding Linux clients. We have a lot of development resources that have Linux on their clients, and we can't manage them on the same platform, as we do with other clients such as macOS and Windows. So, it should have support for Linux clients. It should also have better support for macOS."
"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The interface could be improved by simplifying it further."
"The integration should be made easier."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen. It's too complex. We tried that for so many years, and no one can do this for Windows and macOS. It can be done with iOS, but that's not the case here. If you want device management for a real laptop operating system, you need two systems. They're very different."
"I would love to see more integration with ASM and ABM."
"Jamf could improve versioning as in outright blocking OS upgrades OR improving maintaining every application’s update feature. As of now, only some apps, like Flash, have managed updates."
"It would be great if we get an email notification when the Mac users install any apps, so IT can be alerted."
"There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
