"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."

"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"If you're an Intune user, you can bring in certain capabilities like system-hardening policies, which further enhances the security."
"It is scalable."
"A few things are valuable. One is the alerting we see when any kind of intrusion is happening, any kind of malware is being deployed across the endpoints, or any kind of suspicious activity is going on. We have a footprint across all of North America, Canada, and Mexico, so we want to make sure that all our endpoints are protected and we are able to look for any anomalous activity."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."

"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."

"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."

"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"The security could always be improved."
"Defender's reporting is rather scattered, and its URL filtering mechanism doesn't really work."
"The biggest one is that Defender needs to be more proactive to the emerging threats. There can be tighter integration with email, especially how it integrates with our email system, which is the Microsoft Outlook suite. There should be the ability to react a lot quicker to emerging threats because sometimes, it takes a few days before some of these new threats are fully identified, and we need that to be a few hours."
"We faced some issues while running some applications on Mac."
"Defender's threat protection should be fine-tuned to reduce false positives. It could be more targeted, reflecting a continuous evolution in detecting. Also, it could be easier to integrate into other environments."
