We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (MDM+EMM) 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."The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"We already use a lot of Microsoft products in our company, and therefore, it made sense to also use this product."
"Being able to manage the devices remotely is most valuable. We can push security requirements through Microsoft Intune."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature is probably mobile device management. Small businesses are coming under greater scrutiny and requirements for compliance as time goes on. We don't have to worry about a VPN because we can manage these devices, control company data, and lock users out. If needed, we can remotely wipe devices and deadman-switch them."
"The most significant benefit is that the deployment is quick and painless. You don't need a specialized IT department to implement and scale the network. It's easy to maintain, too. It only requires one or two network administrators."
"Meraki Systems Manager's most valuable features are password management, device tracking, remote resetting and wiping, device management, inventory management, and easy policy deployment."
"It's robust, and we like the device availability, ease of purchase, and supplier stock availability."
"The cloud manager is user-friendly, and I can manage everything from one dashboard."
"The solution is easy to use and support."
"Security is the main feature because the company is reliable."
"We experience no downtime, no breakdowns, all the user readings are exact, and it gives us quick analysis so we can apply security measures."
"It’s helped us manage our endpoints."
"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 most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to apply apply granular level restrictions to our machines, making them easy to manage remotely from the backend."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS."
"Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge."
"We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems."
"We found the initial setup to be simple."
"I would like some integration with the Microsoft reporting platform Power BI."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment."
"The feature that allows us to import the business application from the configuration manager to Intune is not very good at this time."
"They can improve their MAM policies a little bit more and make them more granular. They should include more granular group policies. They are there, but they need to be more granular. Its stability should also be improved. It is not very stable. Sometimes, it shows some inconsistencies across tenants."
"We faced issues with macOS support. The product should have better inventory and asset management."
"There is room for improvement in integrating additional features such as Purview and SharePoint activities into Intune."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a four out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. It is more difficult."
"System's compatibility with Google Chrome could be improved."
"Linux compatibility needs improvement."
"Because Cisco has improved a lot and is competing with other technologies that are innovative and brand new to the market, the only improvements they have to make are to keep up with the current competition and remain competitive with other solutions."
"We've really only experimented with their iOS client. This is due to the fact that their Windows client has a lot to be desired. We first tried experimenting with the Windows one but very quickly determined that it wasn't going to cut it for most Windows cases. The Windows portion of this product needs improvement. I'd say that it's not really viable."
"I've participated in numerous product launches primarily focused on HP and Dell. Consequently, there should be a vested interest in local gatherings to showcase product advantages and performance. Particularly in Singapore, it only has so limited integrators to engage in IP product sales. There's room for improvement through dedicated workshops and training. The European and Western markets differ significantly from the context here. The physical location holds more importance. Thus, they should have a survey to evaluate demand, supply, and sales points, tailoring strategies accordingly."
"In my opinion, the equipment availabilities and competitive pricings could be improved."
"The patching can definitely use a little bit of improvement. They should make it a little bit more automated."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"It would be nice to be able to search smart groups and/or filter them."
"Training should be more accessible and cheaper."
"For patch management in Jamf, two Smart Groups are required as patch policies cannot be scoped as of now. This is not a major issue, as there is a great workaround by using a wrapped "member of" duplicate Smart Group. However, being able to avoid two Smart Groups for patch management would be nice."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."
"The list of applications for patch management isn't sufficient."
