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.
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"The most valuable feature is the UEM capabilities."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"For the price, the features included with Microsoft are appealing."
"A great solution for anyone wanting a modern endpoint device management solution."
"The most valuable features are the ones that make sure that the deployment is of a standard operating system and the Zero Touch deployment, which is very useful. This allows users to have an out of box experience."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"A valuable feature is user enrollment, where users can enroll their devices in their organizations themselves."
"Self Service empowers the user and allows them to install the software they need when they need it."
"We like the pre-stage enrollments."
"The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good."
"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."
"We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc."
"The self-service portal enables standard users to install and update software, change settings, and open organizational URLs."
"It's a scalable product."
"We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"Cloud-based VMware Workspace ONE is very good. It is easy to deploy and manage. Maintenance is also quite simple."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"From a remote management perspective, I like the management and the inventory."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"Among the most important improvements is the ability to set up different groups with different deployment policies."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
"I would like the ability to install the agent on devices from suppliers, which would enable us to implement a zero-trust strategy for guest devices."
"I think that there is room for improvement with the reporting. If this is done, it will be a better product."
"China blocks Google and Google Play Store, which makes installation challenging. Microsoft Intune is a company software, which has to be installed to the app portal or Microsoft Software Center."
"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."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"What would make this product better is adding more security policies and features in the next upgrade."
"Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve."
"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."
"An easier way to deploy Full OS upgrades would be a great start."
"I think it would be best if Jamf had support tiers."
"The response time for support could be significantly improved."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"Simple things like finding policies, configuration profiles, and smart computer groups that are not used by any client could be easier."
"There needs to be a mass policy change tool."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"There are other solutions that might be better for certain use cases. This is not an all-purpose solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"There are some bugs that our team needs to work around. It required some API integration required because visitor integration was not there. For example, we are currently working on a tunnel issue, and VMware doesn't have this solution."
"The length of time it takes to deploy an application could improve."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
