Centralized classroom management has created secure, focused digital learning with zero-touch updates
Jamf School is so easy to use. Perhaps because I have been in the technology field for so long, it did not take a lot of training, and the training that Jamf does is amazing. The documentation and behind-the-scenes support is great. There is not really much I would say I would want to see improved. If I had to think of even a small area where Jamf School could be improved, I think some of our more experienced users that know how to do custom scripting would appreciate it because we do have techs that also use Jamf Pro that get to that custom scripting, and sometimes in Jamf School, there is not really that same layer. If there was something they could do a little bit more to allow those that do have the capabilities to do some of that, that might be useful. It is also that Jamf School is mostly an Apple-first platform, but as our campuses are growing and more Chromebooks are becoming available, it would be nice if Jamf School was as good with the other platforms versus just Apple products. Regarding app requests within Jamf School, I would appreciate it if there was something in there that would make it easier for the teachers to request apps more effortlessly. Instead of back-and-forth emails, if there was a direct feature for a teacher's app request, it would help. We have not really used that very much. Teachers can browse it, and maybe we are just not using it to the greatest ability, but as long as that app request feature was very easy for teachers to use, we would get more app requests quickly instead of them having to create help tickets.

Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

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 features of Jamf School are exceptional, as it is amazing to manage the entire iPad fleet while pushing applications and controlling student safety, which is a concern we take seriously."
"The solution protects all our Apple products like iPads and MacBooks."

"The overall usage is the most valuable, and it's a clear upgrade from our previous system."
"Jamf School has positively impacted my organization by reducing the hands-on touch of all the devices in all the classrooms, allowing our teachers to do more instruction, keeping students safe and focused, and giving them a more efficient learning space with exactly the educational apps they need when they need them."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

Cons

"My only concern with the direct customer support is that it is only by email, and the email can take up to two days, meaning sometimes in emergencies, you need a quick response."
"The product must improve its price."
"If I had to think of even a small area where Jamf School could be improved, I think some of our more experienced users that know how to do custom scripting would appreciate it because we do have techs that also use Jamf Pro that get to that custom scripting, and sometimes in Jamf School, there is not really that same layer."
"Having everything centralized would be a preferable update."
"There is room for improvement with the security aspects, like scripting."
"If you start the system update in Jamf School, you cannot stop it."
"Jamf Safe Internet also needs some improvement because it is very technical."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"Customer support is active and proactive, but not reachable 24/7, which is an issue."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
