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.

Optimizing digital presence with customizable design and seamless integration
The main benefits that Liferay Digital Experience Platform brings to the table are numerous. First is rapid application development and many features. Features such as content management and document management make your life easy; workflow management is also present. Workflow can be designed and derived. Form development and everything is very smooth and easy to deliver to the end customer, and you can find many features in one box. You have blogs, wikis, and everything with out-of-box functionality. My experience with actionable insights is positive; they help in refining content strategies. The content creation is helpful. For external content creation, I use headless CMS APIs for Liferay Digital Experience Platform, and headless APIs for content creation are also available. My thoughts on the integration capabilities are that integration is seamless. You have headless APIs where you can integrate seamlessly with any other application such as LDAP or SSO, or you can also integrate with different external systems. You have an SAP connector; everything is available. Liferay Digital Experience Platform's open source flexibility has helped in customizing functionalities for the specific needs of my customers as it is a highly flexible application that can be optimized. My advice for other organizations considering Liferay Digital Experience Platform is that if it's available, we need to improve on the performance, which is currently what we are seeing. Otherwise, earlier Service Builder was acceptable. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Liferay Digital Experience Platform a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Jamf Connect is the dual login screen, which has simplified the login process and eliminated the need for users to enter their password multiple times."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"For those kinds of users, it is an awesome solution because it syncs their password across the devices they are using, which was not the case previously."
"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."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"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."
"Customers liked this portal software platform because Open Source platform with no stack agenda can run in any existing infrastructure with low cost of adoption and offers over 70 out-of-the-box bundled features with an open API architecture that allows you to maximize aggregation and back-end integration."
"You can create and manage dozens of sites with a single installation of Liferay, without a single line of Java code."
"The product has helped our members and communities to freely connect, share knowledge, develop initiatives and share expertise in a secure environment."
"Compared to other platforms the initial setup is not very complex."
"It allows us to arrange and develop new ideas, then incorporate them into the portal. We can create a one stop information center, so people can access the information from one window."
"The solution is easy to install."
"Architecture is so good that you can fit many organizational structures into Liferay."
"I usually see this platform as a Swiss Army Knife for building new features."
 

Cons

"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"One area of Jamf Connect that I think could be improved is the recent merger with Self Service Plus, which is a solution we did not want."
"Jamf's support could be improved."
"The main use case for Jamf Connect was to synchronize local accounts with the identity provider, like Entra. However, due to some limitations with the enrollment sequence and user limitations, we decided to discontinue using it."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"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."
"The documentation provided needs to be more detailed. It's sometimes hard to develop things because the documentation is so sparse."
"Documentation is an issue and needs to be improved."
"There are a lot of possibilities for improvement in several areas."
"It could have better built-in integration with a wider variety of extensions out-of-the-box."
"Social areas and capabilities need improvement."
"I would like to see it require fewer configurations from the properties file, and provide more GUI options to configure changes."
"Liferay is a phenomenal product with deficient marketing."
"The integration and configuration need to be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"The pricing is good."
"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."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive. What Liferay Digital Experience Platform offers at its current price can be considered something that is worth the money."
"Licensing costs can be very expensive."
"Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc."
"It's an open-source structure. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems."
"It is a bit expensive."
