Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows users to easily monitor miscellaneous activities occurring in their environments
The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required. It would be good if Jamf Protect could be integrated with Jamf Pro and used as a single solution. There are a couple of improvements where there is a need to change a few things. There are also a couple of things that need to be removed and merged into the main tool, Jamf Pro. The solution's technical team needs to improve because somewhere I felt from my personal experience that unless Jamf's team puts in an effort to understand the requirements of its customers, help can't be provided. The help provided by Jamf's team is on the basis of what they know, so I feel that they need to put a bit of effort into understanding what customers expect from the product.
Abel Browarnik - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
 

Cons

"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 solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
