Searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and monitors the network for security
Jamf Protect provides zero-touch integration, and we can add various IdPs for synchronization or authentication.The most effective feature of the solution for security needs is that users can create a zero-touch environment network access and VPN access. Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.
LUIZ FERNANDO MARIANO SILVA - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface
I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"The product’s interface is easy to use."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."
 

Cons

"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"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."
"Beginners need initial training."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."
"They should improve their user interface."
"Technical support from SonicWall has room for improvement. While their escalation process is understandable, it can be time-consuming as all logs need to be provided multiple times across different service levels."
"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not an averagely priced tool."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"The product is very expensive."
"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."
"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
