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 product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The Asset Management and Auto Pilot are valuable features."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"The stability is good."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"Intune's unified endpoint management platform is invaluable."
"Integration with Apple's DEP program and the ability to image systems quickly and efficiently is one of the best features. I use Jamf Pro to push out remote access tools that allow us to help our users with issues that require more "hands-on" than only MDM can provide, which is nice as well."
"Smart groups and just the way MDM works are valuable. We like all the features that they have. We try to use it as much as possible, and then we have the support and community involvement to reach out to."
"The user interface is great."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"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."
"Jamf cut the time it takes to deploy a new machine to a new user."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"It's all about securing data with the help of the email client called VMware Boxer. It enables the end-user to carry data in their mobile devices but there is containerization between the personal data and the organization's data. It helps enhance their security while still carrying their own BYOD."
"If an outside person tries to track or hack information, it is not possible without us being notified."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."
"They could also make it easier to use because there are some other products that may be easier to use in terms of the look and feel of the dashboard."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the absence of seamless integration, particularly with external dashboards."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"The installation is very easy. However, to be able to configure it you will need special knowledge, such as training or self-studies to have a proper level of security. There are many settings one has to understand before being able to implement Microsoft Intune."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"It would help if administrators could pinpoint the exact location of a stolen device to help law enforcement retrieve it and apprehend the suspect."
"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."
"There's only one thing that I would like to see improved. It's potentially being worked on right now, actually. That is the ability to provide remote support access to use those devices. I'd like it to work in a similar manner to Desktop Central or other solutions like Team Viewer."
"Jamf Pro currently is only used on Mac computers and could improve by having compatibility with other operating systems. We have to use other tools to manage our Windows and Android devices. There could be other improvements but I am still exploring and learning more about the features."
"Some improvement can be made in the customer service realm, while also making additional training level courses available for online study and exam-taking."
"It would be amazing if they would give Apple TV management its own space in Jamf Pro and not just mix it in with devices."
"The solution needs cheaper training."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM."
"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."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"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."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."
