A scalable product that offers an easy-to-use interface
Some of the product users feel that the solution's storage part should be increased, especially when compared to products like Yahoo, which is an old tool in the market that offers unlimited storage to users. Other platforms offer more storage sizes than Google. The storage part of the solution, especially the storage capability offered by Google Drive, needs to be increased. There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required.

Unified sign-on has simplified password management and now secures our mobile workforce
The ability to have a single password for the local device and the same password for the IDP is part of our security requirements. Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment. It ensures that when a new user sets up the device, they sign in with their IDP username and password, which then creates the profile on the device. Furthermore, Jamf Connect is now integrated into Jamf Self Service Plus, providing a single dashboard for user password management and allowing users to sync and change their passwords. Additionally, Jamf Connect enhances security by offering two-factor authentication and permitting users to manage or seek help through support features directly within the app.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability-wise, it is an easy solution to scale up. I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten."
"The platform’s most valuable features include storage, machine, and cloud functionality."
"There is a lot of flexibility and a lot of control if you use this efficiently."
"I like Google Cloud IAP because it is easy to use and stable."
"The product’s valuable feature is the ability to add a large number of users."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease with which one can use it."
"It is a stable platform."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is a scalable solution."
"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."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"The initial setup of Jamf Connect was straightforward with clear instructions provided in the documentation."
"It has definitely reduced the IT support burden, as 31% of Mac tickets are password-related, costing an average of 70 or 80 dollars for just one ticket, and that has been drastically reduced with the automation of these tasks through Jamf Connect."
 

Cons

"People who don't have experience in IT may find the tool challenging. It needs to improve its pricing."
"Google Cloud Platform is not a product that is very flexible for end-users, especially owing to the fact that there is not much documentation available for the product."
"There are certain shortcomings with the product's stability where improvements are required."
"The hard part is creating the pack because our applications are in Azure Data Proxy, Data Fabric, and Data Factory. Our team used these tools in Azure, but in the future, they will transition to GCP."
"As an individual developer, I would like Google Cloud IAP to offer more flexibility, especially for smaller-scale usage."
"The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now."
"Sometimes we face uncertainty when our internet connection gets disconnected. It becomes challenging to determine whether it's an issue with our internet or if the GCP has crashed."
"It is an expensive solution, so I would like its price to be improved."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"I see a potential area of improvement for Jamf Connect from the commercial side, not from the technical side, because technically we do not have any issues."
"There is room for improvement with Jamf Connect in reducing its cost and overcoming limitations during pre-stage enrollment, which prevent it from creating MDM-capable users."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some costs attached to the licensing part of Google Cloud Platform, but it does not pose a challenge."

"When comparing the price of GCP to other solutions it provides more value for the money."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy is an expensive solution."
"The product's costing model needs improvement."
"It is expensive to scale up the solution."
"There is a need to make payments towards the license in charges attached to the product on a yearly basis."
"Compared to Oracle Cloud, especially with networking options (like VPN creation for free), Oracle Cloud offered better pricing."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
