### "Jamf Pro is, without a doubt, the best option for Mac admins."

October 25, 2017

5.0

Pros

is Apple first, Apple only. Zero-day support for OS updates. Great community of fellow Mac Admins.

Cons

I would like to see some of the things that need to be done with open source tools (SplashBuddy, Autopkg, etc.) built in to the product.

### "Enjoying the force multiplier that Jamf provide."

October 25, 2017

5.0

Pros

I most like the scalability and Apple-first, Apple-best mentality that Jamf bring to their products.

Cons

The frequency of patch and feature updates could be faster. Zero-day OS support is excellent, but we need new Apple management tools faster.

### "Apple Best of Breed for Device Management"

October 25, 2018

4.0

Working with them for a long time, the company culture is the best in the business

Pros

Availability of support for Apple device management with Apple standard practices

Cons

As company and feature creep has grown, support knowledge and bugs have become more prevalent

### "Best MDM for managing iPads. Lightning fast, reliable and plenty of options."

February 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

Remote commands are sent nearly instantaneously. Incredible uptime. Easy to use and intuitive navigation.

Cons

Lost mode, while available, could be improved. Too many steps between initiating lost mode to viewing the location of the device.

### "no experience to Admin in no time flat"

August 4, 2020

5.0

it has been almost completely positive.

Pros

my district decided to try out apple products in a 3 tier deployment. Faculty was first, i was selected to run as admin for this but had no previous experience with even the most basic Mac machines. Between the 1 week of training and the answers from Jamf Nation i was able to get 200 machines up and running in under 3 weeks and expand to now over 300 Macs and 3000 iPads with very few hiccups.

Cons

a lot of my issues have slowly been fixed with software updates. my biggest issue was with shared iPads and setting the location/time. now that i no longer have shared iPads its a nonissue

### "Great MDM for iPads"

March 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

We use to manage the 1:1 iPads in our district. I like that the company is responsive to our needs and is there to help us in a crisis. I also like the degree of control we have over our iPads. We are able to lock out unwanted apps or features. We are also able to reduce the time it takes to provision new iPads for students.

Cons

I wish we would receive a clearer message about when and how we should upgrade our server. The upgrades come out, but we are advised not to update. This is understandable, but we don't receive a followup on when to update. This is more of an annoyance than a con.

### "Formation Jamf"

June 17, 2022

5.0

L'essentiel de mon temps d'utilisation est pour la formation des techniciens et administrateurs .

Pros

Je donne des formations Jamf 200/300/400 en français et je connais par ailleurs plusieurs autres MDM. reste de loin l'outil de référence, avant de passer par exemple à Mosyle Business ou Jamf School. Toutes les autres solutions que je connais ont des limitations / compromis plus ou moins importants, et notamment sur la capacité à déclencher des actions sur la base de déclencheurs précis.

Cons

Il faudra surveiller que les Apps Installers soient bien augmentés par rapport aux produits concurrents (ex. Mosyle Business) car plusieurs MDM se sont engagés dans cette voie dernièrement et on s'attend à retrouver les applications les plus courantes, vraiment. Il faudrait qu'on puisse configurer un fond d'écran verrouillé et un fond d'écran d'accueil simplement comme sur les autres MDM.

Reason for choosing Jamf Pro

Parce que Jamf a proposé à Agnosys que je donne des cours Jamf en français.

### "Jamf Pro"

October 22, 2018

5.0

Since Apple has step away from enterprise management of their products, JAMF has filled that void. I can use this product without having superior scripting skills. The JAMF community and company are very supportive

Pros

This software is comprehensive in that all configurations you could make to the operating system or to supported applications can be deployed with the tools. Feature requests made by the user community are taken into consideration and often implemented. It's a product that can be counted on to make Apple products manageable in an enterprise environment.

Cons

The interface can be overwhelming and visually complicated at first. There is a learning curve to get use to the environment. I would like to see more detail in the logs when pushing policies.

### "Best MDM we've used, and the price is just right!"

September 19, 2017

5.0

Automation, reduced workload, more chances to be Proactive versus reactive, valuable work experience.

Pros

What we can do is near limitless. The automation is something we are still working on, but for a business thats entering the enterprise world, this is an absolute must before things get out of hand. We started using Jamf while we were still only 300+ employees, and now we are coming up on 700, and having the data on all our macs in one spot is awesome. Now that we can make the worry of deployments a thing of the past, it gives me time to work on being PROACTIVE, versus REACTIVE.

Cons

Because the software can do so much, I'm sometimes surprised at the things it can't do. Example. when Prestages get changed from one MDM server to another on accident, you lose your entire scope. Luckily, the customer service is great, and we were able to recover data. Just a shame that it lost the data in the first place. and that I couldn't recover it on my own with built in methods.

### "Expansive, Confusing at first, Full control"

July 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software is amazing at controlling Apple devices, it allows for an expansive way of sorting and searching such as an audit system but also how you can manipulate those sorts and add/remove or restrict, it allows for "lost mode" batch naming, app pushing and all the typical controls you rely on in a Single mac or IOS device but allows for it in a massive scale, we manage over 15,000 devices using this software and will continue to add more,

Cons

There have been many times we have gone to JAMF themselves in search of a remedy of issues we had no control over, these have been sorted out very quickly. The software can be daunting to look at when you first begin to utilize it and in some cases confusing. How an app or software can be managed from device to device can change with each update requiring a new policy or script to manage the device/app/software. All of these issues have been sorted out by the amazing customer service provided by JAMF

### "bien"

June 17, 2022

4.0

Mon expérience global reste satisfaisante car JAMF travail étroitement avec Apple donc les process ce font toujours en suivant la ligne Apple

Pros

Nous utilisont beaucoup les fonctionnalité de script que nous réalisons nous même malheureusement dans la majorité des cas pour palier au lacune native de jamf ou pour palier au lacune d'intégration en entreprise des mac.

Cons

LE patch management pourrais être amélioré. surtout que JAMF a intégré la notion d'app management a la sauce VPP pour les applications tiers, mais a choisi de ne pas s'appuyer sur son patch management actuel.

### "I love Jamf. It's made managing our devices so much easier for our district."

October 25, 2017

5.0

Pros

The software provides the capability to easily manage all our district devices without having to touch them as much.

Cons

I wish to be able to use more complex search or smart group criteria, better table views, and more..

### "Solid Performing MDM"

August 4, 2020

5.0

We've been pleased to be a customer over the past several years. Their software is robust, reliable, and has made the management of our iOS, Mac OS, and tvOS devices a breeze!

Pros

It just works! JAMF gives use the peace of mind knowing our devices are receiving the appropriate profiles and configurations when needed.

Cons

Slight learning curve for users new to the MDM arena.

### "Jamf has made my job a million times easier"

December 18, 2018

5.0

Rollout was good, but not thorough enough. I would highly recommend going to the Jamf Nation conference either before or after rolling this out. You learn a lot about what the platform can do, even if it's not relevant to your situation.

Pros

I cannot overstate how much more efficient this software platform makes me, versus the manual setup and administration I used to have to do. It's slick, it's constantly getting more powerful, and it's actually pretty fun.

Cons

It's pricey, and it's so powerful that it can be a little daunting. You don't know what you don't know how to do...

June 8, 2018

4.0

I can save a lot of time for the administration

Pros

By using this tool, I save a lot of time setting up new laptops. Have a complete overview of what is installed on the computer. In Self Service I can provide software for users who can install it themselves. This saves me a lot of time. By using this tool, I save a lot of time setting up new laptops.

It would be great if there were examples of how to create a specific policy. Reference, for example, to a website on a particular topic where an example is presented.

### "We can now have a full you of and control of our client machines"

October 24, 2017

5.0

Total control of our clients

Pros

Having ultimate control of our client machines gives us the Peace of Mind of knowing that our machines are being used with the functions that they were intended to. Being able to install apps and remove ass and change configurations at a moment's notice since our business and makes us a much more efficient organization when it comes to managing our client devices

Cons

I am hard-pressed to come up with the concert this product sure there are some features that I would like to see but the support is top-notch the product does what it says it will do and every iteration is just a wonderful improvement from the last version. I like that releases are not bugging. I like the support is still available. I like that they support the user groups

### "JAMF Pro revolutionized the way we manage Macs in our company. Less engineering and more client time"

October 24, 2017

4.0

The best benefit is limiting time I have to spend with assisting my Helpdesk with issues by pointing them to pre-built packages and policies in our JSS. Also Self service has drastically reduced the amount of help desk tickets, clearing up the noise for us to focus on more essential tasks.

Pros

I love the intuitive Smart Grouping and Inventory collection. We've tried numerous tools for our Mac deployments and JAMF was the only one that gave us the information we needed in a clear and concise format. It is an essential tool for our day to day workflow.

Cons

While the Inventory and MDM offerings of are unrivaled it would be beneficial to see better RMM functionality and MSP support. In our environment we have to rely and JAMF and other solutions (i.e. Addigy) for in-the-moment RMM support. I would love to see active client connections to run script remediations and Terminal commands directly and/or integration with a remote control solution like ScreenConnect or TeamViewer.

### "Consistently reliable MDM solution"

January 28, 2019

5.0

I was initially drawn to Jamf by the sheer number of times I found myself on JamfNation forums while searching for answers to a problem with my existing MDM. Jamf has proven one of most fully-features solutions I've worked with, has very regular updates to their product improving and refining their feature set, and as noted above, has one of the most knowledgeable and helpful online communities I've encountered. As a recent bonus, their acquisition of the Nomad utility for macOS makes binding and mobile accounts a thing of the past.

Pros

Feature depth, customer support, forums, and now Nomad integration

Cons

A bit pricier than I'd like, and tough to get a personal touch from support at their size.

### "JAMF Pro is AWESOME"

August 4, 2020

5.0

Our school district has been using JAMF software for 7+ years. I doubt we would ever leave!

Pros

is super easy to use. We use it to manage our districts MacBook Airs and iPads. We really found it useful when we switched to remote learning this past spring and went 1 to 1 with all our students.

Cons

The cost is pretty high. I would also love it if support websites could be easier to find information about issues that we might be having.

Reason for choosing Jamf Pro

School Dude was much cheaper that JAMF but JAMF was far superior. The features in JAMF worked were much better than School Dude.

### "An essential tool to managing Apple devices in our school."

September 19, 2017

5.0

The restrictions mostly from Apple that limit what can be done from within to manage both our macs and iOS devices. Jamf Pro is capable of doing more but often Apple simply doesn't allow it to do so.

Pros

What I like most about is it's overall power and capabilities. With a small support staff for a large number of devices, Jamf Pro allows us to perform and automate a lot of tasks that would have otherwise required hundreds of man hours to complete. It also allows us to provide Self Service options to our users which lowers IT operating costs. I can't imagine doing my job without Jamf Pro.

La disponibilité des nouveautés dès lors sortie est un vrai avantage par rapport à ces concurrents. L'expérience d'onboarding utilisateur que l'on peut créer à l'aide de permet de simplifier la première configuration et de rendre rapidement autonomes les nouveaux collaborateurs.

### "My experience as Jamf user and Jamf administrator has been excellent."

September 19, 2017

5.0

Pros

At this point I can't imagine managing Macs any other way. The power, the usability. I love it all.

Cons

Lately I've found myself a bit frustrated with Jamf Support. It seems each time I call or e-mail it takes a few rounds of back-and-forth to explain some of the ins and outs of our particular JSS. I realize this is probably a byproduct of no longer having a dedicated support tech, but it's frustrating that the tech I'm speaking with doesn't immediately see a note or something indicating that I have a dedicated hosted instance (we have a DNS re-direct in place so at a glance our URL indicates that we might have an on-prem instance). This is more of a nitpick than a real criticism, though, as my issues are still always resolved by support!
