Jamf Pro Reviews

We use this solution for device management.

I am very satisfied with Jamf Pro. It's a good solution.

When we are creating or fetching the features, such as creating extension attributes.

We face issues when we do not have a script and have to write a script, we need to create extension attributes. The hardware details and software details should be by default from Jamf. This needs improvement.

We have been using Jamf Pro for almost five years.

We are not using the latest version. We use version 10.26.1.

Jamf Pro is a stable solution.

It's a scalable product.

Jamf enrolled devices are approximately 1,000, for a project that we have started with recently.

The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't experience any gap there. It was good.

My management is trying to set up VMware Workspace ONE. It will take 10 to 12 months to set up the Workspace ONE in the company. Once it is set up then we can do a comparison and a PoC between both.

I would rate Jamf Pro an eight out of ten.

We are using Jamf Pro to manage all of our macOS, iOS, iPad OS, and tvOS devices, which totals ~200 devices. 

We have just recently started using Jamf Protect and hoping to start using Jamf Connect. We are a small cybersecurity firm and all of our users are Mac users. We don't have any Windows end-user clients in our environment. Our users don't have admin rights on their systems, so all changes to the systems are being pushed out and managed via the Jamf platform. Jamf Protect is a recent purchase, however, it has been very useful in getting greater insights into the built-in Apple security tools.

Primarily, it has enabled us to manage all of these devices without the need for a large IT staff. We are a small organization and trying to manage these devices without a tool like Jamf would require significantly more staff or we would need to rely on end-users to manage certain things themselves. This has especially been useful as everyone has started remote work. Also, Jamf has made it possible to ensure that all of our endpoints are compliant with our IT and InfoSec policies, which is crucial in our industry.

The managed settings via configuration profiles are fantastic for enforcing certain settings, especially now that you can customize the payloads. 

The patch management has been a killer feature, and it's getting even better now that Jamf is adding so many new feeds.

The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights (however, the UI still needs a lot of improvement).

The automated enrollment/Apple Business Manager integration has made the device onboarding process so much more efficient than the traditional imaging/manual enrollment process.

The self Service UI needs some real improvement; they recently revamped the app, but I don't know if those changes have been for the better. 

The App Store deployments are incredibly unreliable, however, I think this might be more of an Apple issue than a Jamf issue. 

The patch feeds are quite extensive. I would like to see the ability to create custom patch definitions and host those directly in Jamf Pro.

It's not specific to the product, however, I wish Jamf was more communicative/responsive to the feature requests section of Jamf Nation. They don't need to approve all of the requests, but offering response/feedback/status would be greatly appreciated by the community.

I have been using and managed a Jamf Pro instance for about 15 years.

The product and regular releases have been incredibly stable.

If you are using the cloud service, then it would be extremely scalable. Larger on-prem installs may need to look at clustering servers for load balancing or software package storage.

Generally, the support team is great, however, it's clear that they've been a bit overwhelmed throughout the COVID pandemic.

Implementation was done with the assistance of a Jamf jumpstart; the folks performing the jumpstart were extremely knowledgeable.

I'd advise that new users check out the Jamf Business Plan, which is user-based licensing. It is now available to any existing customers and makes it much more affordable for getting the suite of Jamf products.

Our primary use case is managing our one-to-one iPad environment for our lower school students and maximizing our efficiency.

By utilizing Configuration profiles, we are able to push out all of our apps to our classroom sets of one-to-one iPads. They install without us having to handle the devices, and then auto-update. We can then wipe the iPads all at once at the end of the year, by simply performing the startup procedure, everything will reset for the next school year.

Ultimately, it saves us a lot of time and headaches.

We have been able to keep our tech department lean and mean, maximizing our efficiency by utilizing Jamf to set up our iPads for us, rather than installing each app one at a time.

We are able to manage each iPad cleanly, and users do not have to handle the maintenance.

The most valuable feature is the Configuration Profiles, for sure! This is what we use to get all of our iPads set up and uniform. We also push out apps to our devices, which does not require any touching of the devices and they auto-update!

Every once in a blue moon, we wind up with a rarely-seen superbug that takes support weeks to months to solve. The good news is that they are rare and not across the platform. Just us. 

We have been using Jamf Pro since 2012.

This product is very stable. Since 2012, it was only down once, and only on our premises.

It works well for small simple setups like ours but is robust enough for the large setups with experts of code behind them.

Tech support is always friendly and ready to help.

While the tech support professionals are great, and happy to help, sometimes it takes a while to get one back on board with your setup since you no longer have a designated contact who "knows you". Additionally, since they need to get to "know you" I have found that I have had to do a lot of convincing to get them to believe that I know what I am talking about and that I have indeed "already tried that."

We tried Mosyle concurrently, but it was a mess.

As far as I have heard, it was straightforward, and the switch to Cloud only took an hour. It was much shorter than the quoted time.

We worked with the vendor and they walked us through the setup. They were great when they walked me through it over video call when we made the switch to Cloud.

While this is hard to quantify, it has allowed us to keep our tech department at two people.

Cloud is worth the small increase in price, but make the switch before you need it, and not during a global pandemic.

To my knowledge, we did not evaluate other options. Rather, we just jumped aboard.

This solution is a ten out of ten. A great friend.

Jamf Pro is used to manage our fleet of Apple devices consisting of both macOS & iOS devices. With Jamf, we are able to effortlessly deploy devices, in a consistent manner, with minimal involvement from IT team members.

Jamf has made it achievable for us to easily deploy & manage Apple devices anywhere in the world, without the need for hands-on assistance from IT staff.

All of the features are valuable and there's not really anything that Jamf Pro provides that is not adding value to our business whilst saving us time & effort.

The on-going improvements & innovation that Jamf provides over time is something that needs to be maintained, as it is what is needed to fulfill a business & team need at the right time.

We have been using Jamf Pro for eight years.

The solution will be able to continually grow as an organization grows. Initially, we started to use Jamf Pro when we only had about 200 Macs spread globally, and now we are managing 3000+ Apple devices with it.

Previously, we had no Mac management solution, but after researching, we found Jamf Pro to be the perfect fit for our business.

Although money needs to be spent on licensing, that cost is fast recouped in time saved & achieved consistent standards across the business for Apple device deployments.

The cost of any licensing is certainly outweighed by the time saved from manually managing Apple devices.

We use Jamf to manage our school's new 1:1 inventory of devices. Everything is in one place for our OS X and iOS deployments.

We are now starting to integrate with certificates for our new wireless system and it has been wonderful to work with the teams at Jamf. Jamf Pro has helped us to have the best management for all of our devices.

I was a manager of iOS devices in the past, and it was extremely cumbersome to use some of the other software out there. Jamf has made it so that I don't have to worry about anything.

Jamf Pro has streamlined and organized the way we do business. We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems. Jamf has made this a very easy task and has been amazing.

With Jamf, we are able to give specific access to our local admins so that they can manage devices without the help of our more senior admins. We can allow some things and not others. And, we now have a solid idea of where all of our devices are and who has and does not have them.

With our system being for students, one of the most important pieces of Jamf is to make sure that we are supplying a filter for all of them. In Jamf, I am able to see when an application is removed and then push it right back out. We are using Umbrella and if it is deleted by a student then Jamf knows and re-deploys it almost immediately.

Jamf has additional features that are helpful.

There is an easy configuration that we can set in the root of Jamf Pro to manage our Jamf Connect clients. It means that we do not have to get to much more granular, building config profiles that allow the keys right from Jamf Pro.

I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro. It has been a great system that allows us to know what is happening on all of our OS X Devices.

Jamf as a whole has come a long way and maybe more of an integration between the entire suite of Jamf products would be helpful.

Login info from Jamf Connect in the Jamf dashboard could be helpful but for the most part, we have nothing to complain about with our Jamf system.

I have been using the solution for the last four years and if I had know about it sooner, I would have been using it for much longer.

This system is extremely stable and we have it now hosted in Jamf Cloud. That was a Solid Decision

It is fully scalable and extremely simple. We scaled up from 600 to 1,200 devices over the summer and nothing changed. It was phenomenal.

They have amazing customer support that is very responsive. When we need assistance, it is only a phone call or email away.

We previously tried MaaS360 and a product by Meraki.

I was provided insight into Jamf and the full suite of products, and the ease is far greater.

The initial setup was a little tricky, coming in with zero experience, but the support of Jamf and colleagues was there and we got it to a great place fairly quickly.

We deployed with an in-house team.

This is the best value for a system that I am deeply involved with on a daily basis.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Jamf.

Being a School district, this is certainly the way to go. Even at the corporate level, the ease of integration with ABM and ASM is amazing and extremely helpful.

We want to manage unmanaged macOS devices using Jamf Pro Cloud Solution. Secondly, we want to migrate Intune-managed macOS devices to Jamf Pro. We would like to comply with our company security policies that we achieved using CIS Benchmarks.

We want to manage productivity applications such as Office 365 suite apps, VPN, Google Chrome, NoMAD, and other business apps as required in real-time.

Our users want to access intranet sites, which we were able to achieve smoothly.

Finally, we are able to manage the admin rights process on macOS.

The very first thing is that it provided a way to manage all of the unmanaged macOS devices across the globe, which was achieved through Jamf Pro Cloud. Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options.

We are able to integrate with centralized third-party apps without any issues, which is a win-win situation for us.

Software and hardware inventory is one of the key and important factors when it comes to inventory management. Advanced search reporting is a very powerful feature of Jamf Pro Cloud and the good part is that you can also utilize the Jamf Pro Classic API with it.

Self Service is the one-stop solution for an end-user.

Configuration profiles are very helpful for implementing CIS Benchmarks, PPPC, Office apps customization, restriction, and many other cool features.

Jamf policies are a life-saver for day-to-day operational activities.

Composer is my best friend when it comes to creating any complex package. It's super easy to use.

Jamf admin is the perfect tool to upload packages and basically, it saves us a lot of time.

Jamf inbuilt FileVault is super straightforward and doesn’t require a lot of mathematical calculations to implement.

Knowledgebase articles should be introduced in Jamf Pro.

Light and dark background features should be included while logging in to Jamf Pro.

The Jamf training curriculum needs to be revisited, especially 400.

Jamf should give the option to download individual device policy logs, as this capability would really help to diagnose issues.

NoMAD is a really powerful tool and Jamf should have a dedicated support queue for NoMAD issues.

Jamf should create an inbuilt policy in case the user obtains a device, it should enroll the device automatically.

The Jamf Reset app is helpful but it’s only available only for iOS. Likewise, we should have the Jamf Reset app on macOS.

I have been using Jamf Pro Cloud for more than four years.

Jamf Support is super helpful, professional, and all of the engineers are very nice to deal with.

We are blessed to have Jamf Pro in our environment.

We manage about 2,300 macs in our enterprise. Most of the devices are used by developers.

Right now, we manage only basics in our mac fleet. Like having a compliant mac, get the VPN Anti Virus, Firewall NoMAD, and other basic software on it. Also, users have the option to get additional software via self-service. So, when a user gets a device from us, it is pretty "vanilla" and they can customize the device themself. 

Additionally, we configure the device for printing and proxy usage.

We are aiming to manage a lot more with Jamf, which is certainly possible. At some point, we also want to make the mac available for all users, not just developers. Jamf will immensely help us with this goal.

Jamf pro gives you the best tool to manage your Apple macOS fleet in your company. Unfortunately, Apple is limiting the way you can manage macs compared to how you manage Windows devices. Therefore you need an elegant strategy to manage your devices. Jamf pro helps you with that. The combination of the Apple MDM commands and the Jamf binary helps you to get the most out of it.

Everything Apple does not enable with MDM commands, you can take care of with scripting and custom policies. With that, your options are almost endless for managing your Apple macOS devices.

I have been using Jamf pro since May 2015 and there is no other vendor who does such great work, helping you succeed with your macOS devices.

If you want to manage macOS devices in your enterprise and want to make it as easy for the user as well as for the administrators, you should use the DEP with Jamf Pro. It makes it very easy to deploy a new Apple Mac to a new user. IT does not need to touch the device even once. You could ship it directly from the vendor and all the user needs is an internet connection and their credentials. At the end of the setup, the user has a fully managed and functional Mac to use within the enterprise.

The integrated patch feature is good but needs some tweaking. As of now, there is no option for the user to defer the installation of a patch. You can either give them the option to install the patch through self-service, which needs an active part of the user to do it, or you can force the installation. However, with the force of the installation, there is potential data loss, because an App that you want to patch needs to be closed for it to work. The information explaining that the app will be closed for patching is almost not noticeable for the user.

Therefore we do no use the integrated patch management technology and build our own logic to work around it.

We have been using Jamf Pro since May 2015.

We use Jamf Pro Cloud to manage 500+ Apple iPads, MacBook Airs, and Mac minis across both our campus and distance learning environments with 50+ employees and 300 students.

Jamf Pro facilitates all device provisioning, software deployment, security profiles, and network access. The printer setup is managed by static groups. Device monitoring is simple using smart groups to monitor for device health, battery charge, storage, and OS version, among other options.

Jamf Pro Cloud is simple to use, powerful and it empowers our IT workflow to provide excellence in customer service.

We are a K-12 private Christian school located in Maryland. Due to this, we have several sets of regulations that we are required to be compliant with for child safety when using computers or mobile devices.

When we decided to implement our Apple 1:1 device program, we chose Jamf Pro as our MDM vendor. Starting out on-site as Casper Suite and then migrating to the Cloud as Jamf Pro, Jamf has allowed us to maintain compliance with the Child Online Protection Act and all applicable educational regulations.

This product makes device deployment and software maintenance simple. 

Enrollment profiles allow us to pre-configure devices directly from Apple. We can set up a new Mac or iPad without ever touching the device.

Configuration profiles are assigned by static groups and allow us to manage device software, settings, security, and set up with ease.

Smart groups are triggered on certain data points such as battery charge, device health, OS version, etc., and allow us to monitor device use and user maintenance of the devices.

Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password. 

I would like to see more robust reporting options for data. Right now there are data points you can configure on your login screen to monitor system health, device health, battery charge, OS versions, lost devices, etc., but there are no real reports you can run about device updates, maintenance, user metrics, etc.

I would like to see either a report section or an integration with a new reporting module to allow us to pull real metrics from the system easily. This will facilitate IT's ability to say, hey, budget people, here's why we need this.

We have been using Jamf Pro since 2013.

Jamf Pro Cloud has a 99% uptime.

Jamf Pro Cloud handles our device load without any issue.  We run approximately 250 iPads and 330 assorted Mac computers and laptops. With our combined device count, we're not taxing the system at all. From speaking with Jamf, we'd still be considered a smaller client, so to answer the question, I would recommend that potential clients contact Jamf for exact information, but it appears that they can scale from a small number of devices to several thousand with no issues. 

Jamf Pro was our first MDM.
