Centralized device management has transformed security and streamlined remote provisioning

One area where Microsoft Intune can improve is the user interface. Sometimes the portal feels a bit complex and not very intuitive, especially for new users, and it can take time to find specific settings. Another point is troubleshooting. While logs are available, the diagnostic policies and sync issues can still be time-consuming and not very straightforward. I also feel that reporting could be more detailed and customizable. The built-in reports are helpful, but for deeper insights, I often need to rely on additional tools. Overall, it is a strong solution, but improving usability and troubleshooting experience would make it even better. While Microsoft Intune works very well within the Microsoft ecosystem, the integration of some third-party tools could be smoother and require less customization. Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected. In terms of features, I think more advanced automation and built-in remediation options would be helpful since common issues can be fixed automatically without manual intervention.

Seamless provisioning and application deployment enhance workflow, yet enhancements in asset and software spend management roles are acknowledged

The zero-touch capability where you can install all the business applications and deliver the laptop to the user, who just needs to log on to complete everything without any human intervention, are the best features in Ivanti Neurons for MDM. We have security features, patch management, compliance reports, and dashboards integrated within Ivanti.

Mohd Javed Khan

Lead Senior Consultant at Truglobal

Has supported centralized management of all Apple devices while ensuring high security and compliance

I have not encountered many areas for improvement, but there are feature requests submitted to Jamf Pro for reporting purposes that they are working on. Jamf Pro continues to increase its capabilities. One improvement I would recommend is integrating Jamf Setup Manager as an inbuilt feature. Currently, it is a separate tool that needs to be installed and integrated with Jamf Pro. Having zero-touch capability as an inbuilt feature would eliminate the need to work with scripts and configurations. The pricing of Jamf Pro is relatively high. Jamf Pro does not have a fixed price for all organizations. Based on my experience, they offer discounts inconsistently. Due to the high pricing, many organizations are moving to InTune and Workspace ONE. There are many other tools in the market for Mac OS device management, such as ScaleFusion, Addigy, and Kandji. Small organizations are moving to these alternatives, and larger organizations with fewer security concerns are moving to InTune. Despite being expensive, I still rate Jamf Pro highly because of its security features and comprehensive management capabilities for Mac OS devices.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Microsoft Intune helps us avoid issuing everyone company-owned devices. We provide a stipend, allowing users to bring their own devices. This approach gives us leverage against other MSPs. It also enhances collaboration because clients already covered by specific licensing can optimize their usage of Microsoft Intune."

"For our customer, it meant no on-premise systems configuration infrastructure or identity management services were required."

"Given all of the factors and things to consider, including features and cost, I would say that Intune has a slight edge over competing products."

"Microsoft Intune has broad capabilities, particularly with mobile device management, with excellent management features like the ability to push configuration policies to all devices across the company and manage them effectively, strong configuration and compliance capabilities, and valuable application management that centralizes applications in one place and makes configuring or deploying them much easier."

"Our configuration profiles used to be all over the place. For example, there's a lot of legacy stuff in Active Directory. Going through Intune has helped us enforce settings, which has improved device security and functionality. When you apply something through Intune, you know it works. You don't have to worry about a legacy setting from Active Directory that was uploaded by somebody seven years ago. With Intune, you can see that a device has a setting, and you can be confident that the device is configured how you want."

"Endpoint Manager has been around the longest, it's survived, it's matured and it's the top dog in general."

"The policies on the solution are very good, the process of enrolling devices is a useful aspect for us, the features that allow us to control the devices are helpful, the initial setup is not hard at all, technical support, in general, has been quite helpful, we've found the configuration capabilities to be quite good, and so far, the solution is fast and has an intuitive interface."

"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."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."

"It's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The company provides great customer service."

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"MobileIron UEM is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"The most valuable features of MobileIron UEM are tunneling and enterprise integration."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM pros

"There is support for Apple updates from day one. Jamf works closely with Apple, so they are ready to support new updates whenever Apple pushes them."

"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."

"Zero-touch deployment saves tons of time."

"The Automated Device Enrolment is great!"

"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment."

"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."

"It has made our day-to-day job so much easier since implementing Jamf Pro at our company."

"I'm now starting to package up software to deploy to our Macs remotely."

More Jamf Pro pros

Cons

"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."

"Reporting could be improved. It needs to be more expensive and robust."

"The time we have to wait to deploy policies has room for improvement."

"I am not involved in the day-to-day with Intune, but we have gone with a different product for updating mobile device software. We do not integrate many of our mobile devices that are not Microsoft-based devices, such as Dell laptops, with Intune."

"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."

"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer. You have to ask them a lot of questions. So, its initial deployment is the biggest challenge. They should make it easier to deploy with the use of Wizards or something else. During the deployment stage, there could be profiles for the customers who are particularly wanting to use certain feature sets of Intune."

"Its integration with Mac and Linux devices can be better. They should provide more features similar to Windows. We should be able to manage policies within Linux and Mac machines. If we can have more granular controls for these two operating systems, it will be really helpful."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"It was not an easy initial setup for us. It was a bit difficult and not really straightforward."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."

"The MDM, asset management, and software spend management are areas that could have more improvement in Ivanti Neurons for MDM."

"The release of new versions often goes in the wrong direction with Ivanti. The test team or the testing procedures are flawed because they release new versions with numerous basic issues."

"The integration between the MobileIron and Advanced Neurons isn't completely in sync, and we're still working on that."

"MobileIron UEM could improve the monitoring of devices."

More Ivanti Neurons for MDM cons

"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."

"Apple does block certain actions from happening or disallows Jamf from making certain changes."

"In some places, GUI could be more reactive."

"The product is pretty good as-is, but if anything could be improved I would say the UI could perhaps be a bit simpler."

"Screen time setup is so required. I want to set time up for screen times for categories."

"Pricing is the one area I feel definitely needs improvement. Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."

"The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time."

"I'm not exactly sure where it could be improved off the top of my head, but there is room for improvement."

More Jamf Pro cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."

"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."

"We work with the subscription rather than a server license. I think it's economical this way because we don't have to have a server license for that, and I think that works in our favor."

"There is a license required to use this solution. However, it was part of a bundle package. Microsoft Intune is far less expensive than other solutions, such as Workspace ONE."

"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."

"The product is expensive."

"Microsoft Intune's costliness stems from licensing fees and the overhead associated with its management, user experience, and device remediation."

"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."

"I know that as a school we get a discounted price, which is good because without it we would not be able to afford it."

"The cost of Jamf is certainly worth the investment."

"If you have the in-house capability to support Jamf, then paying for onboarding / JumpStart training is a no brainer."

"Don’t go into a sales call without knowing all the details of your system because Jamf has a ton of tools outside of Jamf Pro to offer and knowing them ahead of time is a must."

"With respect to pricing, Jamf Pro is the better bet."

"The only thing that is kicking us a bit is the rand to the dollar exchange rate. It is priced in dollars. Every time the rand goes worse, it just costs more. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing because it is very unpredictable because of the rand to the dollar exchange rate."

"The cost of any licensing is certainly outweighed by the time saved from manually managing Apple devices."
