We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and Microsoft Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"We have been able to successfully manage applications and inventory within our machines."
"The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"From the reviews that we are getting, the feedback from the client, the tool is very good on the Jamf side - especially for the Macs."
"Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome."
"The self-service is invaluable to the user."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"Provides great insight into the functionalities of the data scope."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager helps with patch management."
"With the SCCM inventory, we found a lot of rogue applications. We were able to identify them, find out who was running them, and either put them on our application list or remove them."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"We're a Microsoft-centric organization, so we are happy with the integration between products."
"I think there's room for improvement on the automation. For example, uploading a package to Jamf Pro and then updating the policy and other aspects, should be automatic. For instance, if I put a new version of the software, version 11 and the previous one was 10, Jamf Pro should be able to recognize if there's an update and update the policy automatically. It's not a big deal, but I think there's room for improvement."
"We need better reporting options."
"I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions."
"It will be very helpful if we could restore users after they have been removed from Jamf because I have some cases of deleting a computer before unlocking it."
"The cheaper Jamf School is also a product that has been acquired and decked out to meet more educational needs for a good price. Some features of Jamf School aren't (yet?) available in Jamf Pro and for educational users/customers of Jamf Pro, it would beneficial to have these available in the Pro version too."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"There's no way to say, "I want this maintenance window to be on the second Tuesday of the month." It's strict. This window is this and that's it. You can't fluctuate."
"The analysis is something that can be integrated. Their report analysis can be improved a little bit due to the fact that most of the time complaints policies are saved by the admins. It's something that we need to look into and search for."
"SCCM does not scale well, which is one of the reasons we are not going to continue to use it."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"The cost of the product can be improved."
"It would be better if automation options were available. For example, in Nexthink or SysTrack, there is an analytical tool. Creating dashboards would be very easy if you implement the same thing in Microsoft. That report will be a daily cost to the customers and good revenue for our organization. The price also could be better. In the next release, we need to include some features like tables, dashboards, surveys, services, and metrics in the dashboard. Whatever we are implementing will be downloaded by a report. Apart from the report, we will telecast from the dashboard. It's very easy to compare, and it will be easy to telecast to the end-users."
