Systems Engineer Iii Apple Devices (Jamf Engineering) at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
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.

Centralized cloud security has improved DLP incident management and simplifies email protection
One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved. More customized columns and filtering options in incident review would be beneficial. File types should be included, such as file names along with file extensions, which are not currently available to my knowledge. Overall, Skyhigh Security is very good and just needs to improve in terms of the latency of downloading incidents.

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."
"It is easy to integrate into any existing IT workflow."
"Jamf Connect is very simple for us to use, and it is oriented towards productivity."
"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."
"Jamf Connect has quite a nice interface, and the password synchronization and SSO elements are particularly good."
"The solution is scalable."
"Whenever our customers require Skyhigh Security, we offer it to them, and it provides outstanding SSE capabilities."
"The other products that I have evaluated do not have the scalability options that McAfee has."
"Skyhigh Security has impacted my organization positively because we could provide and roll out cloud services across all our users while protecting intellectual property."
"The solution significantly helps in enhancing security management."
"What I found most valuable in Skyhigh Security is its stability."
"Skyhigh offers solutions like WLP and CASB. These tools provide instructions and guidelines for enhancing data security. Additionally, they offer additional software solutions for further protection."
"User analytics."
"The management is very good."
 

Cons

"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"User training has room for improvement. This improvement would benefit from more documentation, and I would appreciate seeing more automation pieces as well."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"What can be improved is the login banner resizing. Currently, it is not fully compatible and could benefit from being a full-screen size banner on the Mac device."
"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."
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."
"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."
"I would like to see more power being given to the admin. In the sense that in case an employee is facing an issue and they want to configure a service, like attaching an email in Gmail, for example, they should be given the option to make the service request and get that configured on the go."
"Skyhigh Security can be improved because their administrative dashboard frequently has issues; it is unresponsive, unusable, or very slow often."
"The pricing of the solution could be adjusted to make it more reasonable."
"One major challenge is that downloading incidents during the investigation process takes a very long time, and this issue should be resolved."
"MVISION Cloud is not well known and there should be more information about the solution. There could be integration to local applications."
"I think it's a very good product although the user interface is not very intuitive and could be improved."
"You have to have some kind of background with cloud-based security, like working with different providers and how to make instances in the clouds and that kind of stuff - including cloud, networking cloud, cloud application development, anything like that is a requirement to be in the CASB space."
"The Web UI is still not quite as responsive as we would like."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
"It's relatively inexpensive."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
"This is an expensive product, but you have to compare that with other solutions that are on the market."
"The biggest thing to watch for is the difference in price per monitored user for the different API integrations."
"Pricing is not out of reach."
"The price of the solution is good and we pay an annual license."
"Have a risk-based approach towards pricing."
"The licensing fees are based on what environments you are monitoring."
"The solution is quite expensive. As we take add-ons continuously as per our customer's requirements, there are additional charges."
"It's an expensive solution."
