Centralized classroom management has created secure, focused digital learning with zero-touch updates
Jamf School is so easy to use. Perhaps because I have been in the technology field for so long, it did not take a lot of training, and the training that Jamf does is amazing. The documentation and behind-the-scenes support is great. There is not really much I would say I would want to see improved. If I had to think of even a small area where Jamf School could be improved, I think some of our more experienced users that know how to do custom scripting would appreciate it because we do have techs that also use Jamf Pro that get to that custom scripting, and sometimes in Jamf School, there is not really that same layer. If there was something they could do a little bit more to allow those that do have the capabilities to do some of that, that might be useful. It is also that Jamf School is mostly an Apple-first platform, but as our campuses are growing and more Chromebooks are becoming available, it would be nice if Jamf School was as good with the other platforms versus just Apple products. Regarding app requests within Jamf School, I would appreciate it if there was something in there that would make it easier for the teachers to request apps more effortlessly. Instead of back-and-forth emails, if there was a direct feature for a teacher's app request, it would help. We have not really used that very much. Teachers can browse it, and maybe we are just not using it to the greatest ability, but as long as that app request feature was very easy for teachers to use, we would get more app requests quickly instead of them having to create help tickets.

"We've had no issues with stability."
"Jamf School has achieved 70 to 90% time savings through automated enrollment and Wi-Fi certificates, which represents 90% less time on provisioning and ongoing device management."
"The most valuable features of Jamf School are exceptional, as it is amazing to manage the entire iPad fleet while pushing applications and controlling student safety, which is a concern we take seriously."
"The solution protects all our Apple products like iPads and MacBooks."
"Jamf School has positively impacted my organization by making students' lives easier, enhancing their learning progress with the apps they need when they need them, and making teachers' lives easier by allowing them to control and manage iPads within the classroom, which has a great impact on the academic level."
"It was straightforward to initially deploy it."
"Jamf School has positively impacted my organization by reducing the hands-on touch of all the devices in all the classrooms, allowing our teachers to do more instruction, keeping students safe and focused, and giving them a more efficient learning space with exactly the educational apps they need when they need them."

"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."

"If you start the system update in Jamf School, you cannot stop it."
"Having everything centralized would be a preferable update."
"If I had to think of even a small area where Jamf School could be improved, I think some of our more experienced users that know how to do custom scripting would appreciate it because we do have techs that also use Jamf Pro that get to that custom scripting, and sometimes in Jamf School, there is not really that same layer."
"There is room for improvement with the security aspects, like scripting."
"Jamf Safe Internet also needs some improvement because it is very technical."
"The product must improve its price."
