It\u2019s also expanded to include add-ons or a suite of tools for IT management and troubleshooting. However, the standard tier doesn\u2019t include any of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intune gives employees access to the resources they need to be productive while providing settings for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) to keep some app data protected at all times. It\u2019s designed to work best with Microsoft Office apps and other Microsoft cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Intune-enrolled devices IT admins can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain an inventory of employee devices with access to organizational resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure devices to meet organizational security and health standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Push certificates to enrolled devices so employees can easily access Wi-Fi networks or connect to networks using VPNs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access user and device compliance reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wipe organizational data from devices that have been lost, stolen, or are no longer in use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deploy app configurations, monitoring, and policies to manage app data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage application deployments and inventory devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Intune subscriptions are licensed per user on a monthly basis. You can purchase Intune as a stand-alone product or as part of Microsoft\u2019s 365 licensing bundles that feature Azure Active Directory Premium 1 (now called Entra ID) or greater licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-jamf\">What Is Jamf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/using-jumpcloud-jamf-mdm\">Jamf MDM<\/a> is a cloud-based solution for managing iOS and macOS devices. It has advanced Apple-specific features for iPhones, iPads, iMacs, MacBooks, and Apple TV. Jamf helps admins set up, preconfigure, reset, repurpose, and recover Apple mobile devices and computers. Its tools are specifically designed for the Apple ecosystem and have industry-specific workflows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its capabilities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Account provisioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antivirus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deployment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Device management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identity management&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With Jamf\u2019s Pro edition, IT admins can manage the entire lifecycle of Apple devices from procurement to retirement. It automates tasks for deployment, maintenance, support, and wiping and resetting devices. A standard edition is simplified for use by small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Jamf, like all other solutions, is built using Apple\u2019s MDM framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\"\/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>Admins exclusively managing Apple products may also consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/apple-business-essentials\">Apple Business Manager<\/a>, which is a web-based portal for managing Apple devices, accounts, and apps.

There\u2019s a need for organizations to strengthen the security of the devices in order to protect every endpoint. This is where mobile device management comes in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees often rely on their <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/making-byod-work-safely\">personal devices<\/a> to complete tasks in a collaborative, fast, and effective way. MDM solutions provide configuration options for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs that respect privacy and protect corporate data. It\u2019s important to enforce strong and efficient BYOD policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-byod-policy\">how to create a BYOD policy in your organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good MDM solution is critical to efficiently managing devices and maintaining a healthy security posture to verify whether a device is trustworthy or not. The table below compares two of the most popular MDM solutions in the market: Jamf vs. Intune:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Functionality<\/td><td>Jamf<\/td><td>Intune<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Device enrollment<\/td><td>A unified endpoint management (UEM) solution for exclusively managing Apple devices. IT admins can use the Jamf Setup and Jamf Reset applications to create a smooth user login experience. Exclusive to Apple devices only.<\/td><td>Helps manage Windows, Linux, Android, and Apple systems. Relies on Azure AD (Entra ID) single sign-on (SSO) to offer IT admins a smooth enrollment process.&nbsp;<br><br>Admins can also access several provisioning options after enrollment, along with sign-up options for new users, on the Enrollment Status Page (ESP).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Security<\/td><td>Jamf offers endpoint detection and response (EDR) through automated policies and device settings.

Advanced endpoint management adds $4 per user. The full suite for unified endpoint security and remote help costs $10. Features not included in Plan 1 are priced individually.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamf is a dedicated Apple MDM platform, whereas Intune supports Apple devices as part of its cross-OS device management. It\u2019s highly unlikely you will only have to manage one type of operating system, but some organizations are Apple-only shops. Depending on the nature of your system environment, either Intune or Jamf could be viable choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strengths-and-weaknesses\">Strengths and Weaknesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Jamf and Intune offer valuable MDM features to organizations, but in different ways. Let\u2019s examine how their features stack up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Use Jamf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamf might be a good choice if your organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Primarily uses macOS and iOS devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Needs to integrate Mac tvOS devices into its MDM platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wants to provide end users with an intuitive self-service portal for app management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Values integrated endpoint detection and response (EDR) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Jamf may not be the right choice if your organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Needs multi-OS support across different operating systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demands a truly integrated identity, access, and device management solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plans on integrating multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO) for managed devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wants to secure and manage cloud server resources in Azure, AWS, or GCP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secures non-system access via RADIUS or LDAP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Use Intune?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Intune is worth considering if your organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Primarily uses Windows and Android devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Already uses Microsoft infrastructure extensively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wants to leverage built-in endpoint security and privilege access management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has enough internal talent to manage Intune\u2019s complex user interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has significant GRC requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Intune may not be the correct MDM solution if your organization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t already use Microsoft infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Values intuitive user interface design and simplified management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plans on using full-featured remote access and background tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is primarily an Apple IT shop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between Intune and Jamf is that Jamf is a bespoke platform for Apple products. Intune is designed around Microsoft Windows but also supports other platforms and works well with a suite of compliance and security products from Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing between Intune and Jamf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Jamf will only support Apple devices. If your endpoint fleet includes non-Apple hardware, you will need to integrate an additional platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intune is a cross-OS platform, but it works best for Windows and with other Microsoft products. This can increase the total cost of ownership and lead to vendor lock-in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jamf supports advanced security features, but not baseline compliance requirements like MFA and SSO, without using an identity provider (IdP).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-intune-vs-jamf-should-you-use-them-together\">Intune vs. Jamf: Should You Use Them Together?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most organizations use a blend of Android, Windows, iOS, and macOS devices, but sometimes a best-of-breed solution offers greater benefits. When used in tandem, Jamf and Intune form a comprehensive solution to manage devices that run an Apple OS and Windows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft and Jamf maintain a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/mem\/intune\/protect\/conditional-access-integrate-jamf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">partnership and integration<\/a>, because Jamf doesn\u2019t support Windows, and Intune doesn\u2019t specialize in Apple devices. The joint solution can be used to enforce endpoint compliance through conditional access, based on criteria like device health. The integration only supports Azure AD user groups. Meaning, Microsoft has positioned itself to serve as the IdP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, you\u2019ll need to be proficient in Azure AD to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/resources\/zero-trust-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zero Trust security<\/a> and compliance standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\"\/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>Learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.jamf.com\/technical-papers\/jamf-pro\/microsoft-intune\/10.9.0\/Appendix__Inventory_Information_Shared_with_Microsoft_Intune.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">data that\u2019s exchanged<\/a> between Jamf and Intune. You can also learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/comparing-jumpcloud-azure-ad-intune\">using Azure AD (Entra ID) and Intune<\/a> together.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the integration comes with some indirect costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Managing two vendors takes more time and resources and complicates support (i.e., Microsoft support doesn\u2019t have a lot of experience with macOS and vice versa).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your IT team will have to build a Jamf app for Intune within Microsoft Azure on its own. However, Jamf Pro Cloud Connector can be used to automate some of the work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training staff to use both platforms takes time and raises management overhead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These factors can offset the perceived benefits of using Jamf with Intune. The integrated platform can control nearly all of your organization\u2019s devices, but with added costs and complexity. Point solutions increase <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/resources\/it-sprawl-reverse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tool sprawl<\/a>, which leads to overspending and incongruent information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-intune-and-jamf-mdm-alternatives\">Intune and Jamf MDM Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what options do you have as an <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/intune-alternative\">alternative<\/a> to using Intune and Jamf together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many options for MDM solutions that you can leverage to manage your endpoints. Other comparisons include <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intune vs. MobileIron<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/intune-replace-sccm\">Intune vs. SCCM<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/intune-vs-airwatch\">Intune vs. AirWatch<\/a>. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\">JumpCloud<\/a> may be the closest comparison to the joint Microsoft\/Jamf solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud\u2019s open directory platform combines device and identity and access management (IAM) into a single cross-OS solution. The architecture is essentially pre-integrated. JumpCloud makes it possible to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/university.jumpcloud.com\/courses\/tutorial-using-jumpcloud-go-on-ios-and-ipados\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">phishing-resistant authentication<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/support\/jumpcloud-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/effectively-prevent-unmanaged-mobile-devices-from-accessing-your-organizational-services\">device trust for conditional access<\/a> from a centralized console. Conditional access policies leverage device management conditions, without the extra effort and resources of creating apps and integrating solutions from multiple vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud provides more optionality than Jamf and Intune do together. For example, you can access non-system resources like <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/platform\/cloud-radius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RADIUS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/platform\/ldap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LDAP<\/a> servers. Its open directory also permits you to <a href=\"https:\/\/community.jumpcloud.com\/t5\/jumpcloud-product-news\/federated-authentication-is-here\/m-p\/4292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">select your own IdP<\/a>, like Okta, and to use JumpCloud to manage devices. You\u2019re not obligated to purchase big bundles of software like <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/is-e3-right-for-you\">Microsoft 365<\/a> to get all of its components. Intune cannot function without Premium editions of Azure AD, and is rarely purchased alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud\u2019s platform has options that simplify IT management like remote assistance, privilege and app management, and cross-OS patch management. JumpCloud provides IT admins with one console that centralizes user and system management across their entire environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"promotion-banner-small is-flex-direction-column has-items-aligned-flex-start has-items-aligned-center-tablet\">\n    <div class=\"promo-small-image is-hidden-mobile\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Promos_GooglePartnership_290x175-SiteDisplay_GooglePartnershipPage-aspect-ratio-160-110.png\" alt=\"JumpCloud\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"promo-small-content\">\n        <p class=\"is-type-body-tiny is-type-weight-bold is-important promo-small-title\">\n                    <\/p>\n        <p class=\"is-type-body-default is-important\">\n            Securely connect to any resource using Google Workspace and JumpCloud.        <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"promo-small-cta\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/leverage-jumpcloud-and-google-together\" data-promo=\"JumpCloud and Google Workspace\" class=\"button is-primary-green promo-small-banner-link\">Learn More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-started-on-system-and-identity-management-with-jumpcloud\">Get Started on System and Identity Management with JumpCloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Securely manage your entire IT environment, including users and their systems, applications, servers, networks, and much more.
