Seamless connection to Azure AD and mature product with extensive documentation
In Jamf Connect, during the account creation process, I would like to have a more seamless experience. Currently, after my MFA approval from Azure, it asks me to create a password, which I find unnecessary. I'm not sure if this feature exists or not, but I couldn't find it. This is one thing I need. Additionally, in Jamf Connect, it can be configured with multiple MDMs. In the MDM, if a Mac is joined to Azure, I want the generic Pro console to show that the Mac is joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found" in the inventory section even though the Mac is joined to a domain. If Jamf Pro and Jamf Connect can implement this feature, it would be beneficial for inventory purposes. Another feature I would like to see is the ability for Jamf Connect to continuously remind users to change their password when it expires. Because every company has a policy that every 90 days, the password will be expired, so let's say today my password is expired. Jamf Connect should pop up continuously pop up to enter my password. Jamf Connect should continuously pop up to me to enter my password. But that's not happening. When I click on Jami Connect, it shows that my password has expired, but it doesn't prompt me to update it. So normally, users would connect to IT support to reset their password. The new password is generated, but the issue is that Jamf Connect syncs the password with the machine and Azure AD. So let's say you have your new password. It's updated in Azure AD, but if it's not synced with your Mac, you have two passwords to log in. You have one password for accessing the email and a separate password for the machine. Of course, users can sync it, and it's just a five-second job. But the problem is that users are lazy, so they don't sync it immediately. They say they'll do it tomorrow. If Jamf Connect immediately changes the password, it should give a notification, but notifications can be ignored. But if a pop-up message appeared every thirty minutes or one hour, it would be very annoying for the user. Notifications can be ignored, but pop-ups are very annoying. So they would be forced to enter the new password and sync the old password. Having a persistent pop-up message would ensure users update their passwords promptly.

Straightforward initial setup, it took less than a week to get everybody up and running
We are using the latest version of this solution. My primary use case is for mobile device protection The middleman protection and the WiFi protection are the most valuable features.  General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time so reporting could be improved,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"The most valuable feature is ease of access. It's convenient to do things like resetting passwords. Previously, users were bound to their domain. We had to bind the user to the domain and log them in through the AD. Now, using Jamf Connect, we don't face any of these challenges. Resetting passwords is hassle-free so we can regularly rotate passwords according to best practices."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"Look at other options but ultimately, this solution offers possibly one of the best solutions out there."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The configuration could be faster."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"General reporting can be improved. The logs only last a short period of time, so reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good."
"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
"There could be more clarity regarding the pricing."
