Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."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."
"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."
"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."
"One of the key features that I liked the most and a lot of the customer value as well is the geofencing. Geofencing is geographical locations. If the device is on a particular premise, then the policy applies. And when the device is not there, the policy goes away."
"Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff."
"The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage."
"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."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is it's incredibly simple to configure and execute changes in bulk, allowing for seamless deployment. With this solution, you can easily track the status of all modifications and send them with ease, making it a comprehensive and efficient solution for any necessary adjustments."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"The main, clear valuable feature is updating the latest, patches and updates from Windows. This is the main feature we really utilize a lot."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"I have found the solution to be scalable. We have around 50,000 users using the solution."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"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."
"One feature or improvement that would be awesome is some sort of mobile app from Jamf that can be used to alert admins of custom alerts."
"We need better reporting options."
"I'd like to see Jamf add Unified Endpoint Management, but it's not going to happen. It's too complex. We tried that for so many years, and no one can do this for Windows and macOS. It can be done with iOS, but that's not the case here. If you want device management for a real laptop operating system, you need two systems. They're very different."
"Inventory reporting could be better, however, that is already slated to improve with some of the new features Apple has announced in WWDC 2022."
"For Windows, we have a reset option. We'd that option available for Mac."
"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."
"The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking."
"The operations could be faster and you need some patience with this tool."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager can improve by allowing us to schedule the scripts, we don't have a script scheduling option and have to do it manually."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"The main room for improvement is the on-screen display. I think it would be good if some improvements were made."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could improve the integration."
"The solution can be improved with the addition of a mobile device manager."
"One area of improvement is regarding the patching of Office 365 products. We have some difficulties on this side, and it can be improved."
