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.
"The ability to wipe data from and reset devices is one of the most important and valuable features. If a device is reported stolen, we can freeze it or wipe the data from it, preventing data leakage."
"The central administration con dashboard is very easy to use and provides very good oversight on all that needs to be monitored."
"Configuration profiles, remediation, scripts, and auto-pilot features are very good."
"The most important thing for me is the autopilot feature."
"It works pretty well for us."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices."
"It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"If you want to manage macOS devices in your enterprise and want to make it as easy for the user as well as for the administrators, you should use the DEP with Jamf Pro."
"I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment."
"Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like."
"The solution is scalable."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"Integration between our departments has been the most valuable."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"Intune lags all of its competitors in terms of report generation."
"Microsoft Intune is not user-friendly to manage and has room for improvement."
"Intune has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The most important thing is reporting. They should improve their reporting. They should give a free hand to users. In SCCM, I can create my own reports. For example, in SCCM, I can create an inventory report for my PC or for all PCs, but in Intune, we don't have an option to create any report. Microsoft claims that Intune is a successor of SCCM, but SCCM is more powerful than Intune. So, they should develop Intune more and make it equivalent to SCCM. Then, their product will be great in the market."
"Some enrollment features could be improved."
"The solution could improve its flexibility."
"Integrating certain group policies can be challenging and may necessitate using on-premises systems to integrate them with Microsoft Intune."
"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."
"The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage."
"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"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."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"An in-house chat room would be a great way to communicate with your team when you aren't physically present with them."
"The solution should offer beta testing for new products."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"Microsoft's feature management is based on licenses. Microsoft follows ethical licensing and hence do not restrict the use of it."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"The licensing is quite expensive."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
