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 key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"We are using the mobile feature, and we are also using MDM to lock the devices, to push restrictions, et cetera"
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"I haven't used other mobile device management solutions, but compared to SCCM, we eliminate a lot of on-premises infrastructure and maintenance by using Intune."
"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 most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."
"The feature I like the most is that we can perform remote tasks. If we want to retire or wipe out personal data or corporate data from a device, we can use Microsoft Intune remotely, and with the click of a button, data is removed automatically. Nothing needs to be done from the end-user side."
"The stability is good."
"We have been able to keep our tech department lean and mean, maximizing our efficiency by utilizing Jamf to set up our iPads for us, rather than installing each app one at a time."
"The fact that devices just need an internet connection [anywhere in the world] that allows them to check into the Jamf Software Server allows for identical management as if on campus or remote, has proven to be golden during the pandemic."
"Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have."
"The Self Service feature, which allows us to make apps available to our staff and students was essential."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service."
"It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily."
"The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"No issues with scalability."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"A very easy to use solution."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
"It would be great to see on-premises mailboxes and for the solution to have geofencing capabilities."
"One area for improvement is app deployment. Another is the Windows update rollout. If you're rolling out an object to a device that's offline, Intune stops trying to reach this device after it sits idle for a bit. We are forced to find a workaround that could help manage that."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"The installation could be improved to be simplified."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"We had some issues with its integration with other products, such as Intune. There were some issues with the way you have to register your device into Intune."
"This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration."
"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."
"The reporting needs to be improved so that generating them is more user-friendly."
"The new remote support tool is still lacking features compared to other industry solutions."
"Jamf doesn't make the Cloud file system visible so there are rare occasions where the local repository and Cloud repository get out of sync."
"Jamf needs to get an inbuilt remote support tool to allow the admin to remote into machines. At present, you can use third-party remote apps, however, a Jamf one would be better."
"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."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
"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."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."
