Jamf Pro Rocks
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, and if I have any questions, the community is fantastic and very helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything to dislike at this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a medium-sized post-secondary institution and have several lab environments. We have to keep the lab operating systems updated and current, as well as the apps that instructors use to teach. Jamf Pro helps me stay ahead of the update cycle.
Powerful tool for tracking and managing Apple devices in an Higher education School environment.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the ease at zero-touch deploy
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little in which I find unhelpful or unuseful in JAMF
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most recent work has been managing a local LAPS account with a rotating password to allow for security and troubleshooting while still allowing IT to work locally on devices where necessary.
Jamf is the Rolls Royce of Mac MDM solutions
What do you like best about the product?
It has an excellent interface, comprehensive role-defined access control, is easy to navigate, and the knowledge base combined with Jamf Nation collaboration is impressive. Jamf can handle complex package and script deployment and keeps up with Apple MDM changes. It makes my life as a Mac Sys Admin much easier, and it is like having a co-worker at my side 24/7. Many API options are available on Jamf Marketplace to expand and automate Mac admin tasks and export data to reporting and alerting tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Proprietary software using several component layers makes in-house patching somewhat complex when not using the cloud version. Tomcat and SQL issues also causes performance issues. Jamf support is often slower to react than the Mac Sys Admin community to resolve issues. It is an expensive solution for many and not a live reporting tool unless you invest in Jamf Protect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Jamf as a SCEP proxy to deploy secure EAP-TLS wifi certs and deploy VPN and AV solutions. Fast device deployment using Jamf pre-staging is paramount to our business.
Excellent MDM for macOS Devices
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the user interface, and overall functionality of the Jamf Pro platform. Not only that, but the publicly available API and corresponding documentation are great!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only "downside" of Jamf Pro is the lack of ability to keep applications patched and up-to-date. However, it does appear that Jamf will be implementing App Installers to resolve this issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Jamf Pro, my company can manage over 1,000 macOS and iOS endpoints with no problems. We realize that by using Jamf, we can save ourselves a ton of time with manual work by leveraging prebuilt configurations and automated workflows.
Best way to manage your Apple devices.
What do you like best about the product?
I like Jamf Pro because of the community that it has and the ease of use of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a lot to dislike about Jamf Pro, but maybe that not everyone uses it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No problems, really but to manage our Apple devices and streamline how we deploy settings and applications. Oh and inventory.
Best Mac MDM Solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like that JAMF is zero-day-ready on most Apple products and services. They keep their stuff up to date and with Admins in mind so that the Admins can focus on their end-users.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to pay for it. I joke but working for an institution that cannot purchase all, and it would be nice to have all JAMF products versus just the main Pro. I do see the reasons, but it is my dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are imaging our macs and managing them as they go throughout the lifecycle. There is so much more JAMF can do that I am attempting to implement as we move further along.
Best Tool to manage Mac
What do you like best about the product?
Whether it 25 or 1000's mac, Jamf Pro makes it easy to manage pkg, script, restrictions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Patch management feature required pkg upload.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zero Touch onboarding with custom enrolment and management of Cooperate Restrictions
Jamf Pro - Great product that keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is how it continues to get better and add new features. The compliance stuff that is now built in is amazing and so helpful when trying to achieve CIS levels on our macOS computers.
What do you dislike about the product?
My cloud instance logs out too quickly. That's all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Device encryption was a easy to deploy, keeping software up to date, blocking software and macOS installs are a few of the ones I've been doing lately.
Jamf Pro Brief Review
What do you like best about the product?
Jamf Pro's reliability and flexibility..
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain Features are not released as quickly as desired based on new releases of macOS/iOS. There seems to be a bit of a delay when a new OS arrives before support is released for whatever new feature is added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easy for a beginner to get started with the foundations of MDM. After a while, you realize that Jamf Pro's power is flexed by leveraging scripts to accomplish tasks that aren't baked in, or that are unique to your environment. The various policy triggers that are available simply work, which provides peace of mind when addressing issues on your mac fleet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jamf Pro is the golden standard for Apple device management in the enterprise and is a best of class MDM for the Apple platform.
Jamf Connect
What do you like best about the product?
Jamf Connect has really helped us with the provision of macOS computers at enrolment. We use Okta as our IDP. It allows us to provision the user accounts from the Okta credentials used at enrolment. Along with MFA this has been a great user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside we see is the user is prompted twice for their password at boot if FileVault is enabled. Not a deal-breaker thou.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem was the provision of the main user account on macOS computers, with Jamf Connect and Okta this is now so simple
