Jamf Pro Reviews

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.

I used it in a school environment where we use it to download student's profiles and keep them connected to their Outlook, et cetera.

The solution helps as patch management with Macs. Previously I was doing everything manually by myself. With this product, now I'm saving two hours per device and I have roughly 30 devices that I deal with, so it's saving me a huge amount of work.

I love it because there's not too much out there for Macs in terms of patch management. 

They give users a huge amount of time-savings.

The user interface is great.

The solution overall is very affordable.

The solution should offer beta testing for new products.

The solution needs more demos for when new releases come out to help us understand the changes and how to use new features.

I've been using the solution on and off for about two years.

The solution's stability is solid. There isn't any crashing. There aren't bugs or glitches. It's reliable.

On a previous project, we had about 75-80 people on the solution. On the current project the average amount of users will be 30-35. It's a bit of a smaller project.

When I did have questions, the 24-hour customer service they have on offer helped walk me through a lot of things. I'm satisfied with the level of support we get from Jamf. They've resolved any issue we've ever had.

I've had years of experience with Microsoft products such as the SCCM and we've used some more MBM's and mobile wiring and other kinds of solutions. We're also using Intune as well.

We haven't set up the solution just yet for this latest project. We're going to discuss implementing it soon. However, I need the budget for it first. I'm waiting for that. Right now, we're working on a demo.

We have done the initial setup for previous projects, and as I recall, it was not complex, it was quite straightforward.

I personally take care of any maintenance needed.

We had three days of on-site training. Jamf walks us through everything before implementation even begins so we have a good understanding of how everything works.

The pricing is pretty perfect. I like it; it's very affordable.

I've been following the solution a lot on YouTube, as far as the latest updates, and am continuously reading new white papers on it.

The current version I'm using right now is a demo, however, in the past, I have used the on-premises version.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. If they added beta testing, I'd give it perfect marks.

The interface is very intuitive. Anybody who has had a reasonable amount of experience with Macs will really appreciate the way this has been designed. It is only on the Mac platform anyway, and I'm given to understand Jamf engineers work at Apple and Apple engineers work at Jamf.

It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management.

When Apple has a new iOS or Mac OS, that particular OS often has new features. Jamf is ready for those features the moment that the OS is released. If there are additional benefits or features as part of a new macOS, Jamf is aware. Jamf has its own network of users and a portal, Jamf Nation. Jamf users are continually suggesting updates and additional features that get reviewed by Jamf and where appropriate are implemented. There is good communication, good end-user engagement, and great company response; there's visibility of user requests and what is getting implemented.

One of the included Jamf Applications, Jamf Remote, is somewhat flaky. It's never worked for me when I've tried to access a remote device that is not on the same network, so the one thing that I would like to see improved/implemented is remote support and I believe Jamf have something in the pipeline. The ability to provide remote support access to end user devices, preferably in a similar manner to Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), Desktop Central's solution or Teamviewer.

We had it all set up and running in February 2018, so it's been about two to two and a half years since we began using the solution.

The product is ultimately stable and the ability manage most anything with an Apple device exists on the system. The product can be hosted by Jamf or on-prem, some Jamf resellers also provide their own hosting for clients, which is how our instance is configured. Our institution is very impressed with how reliable Jamf Pro is.

If you decide to go with a hosted instance from a Jamf reseller/supplier, as we do, the reseller provides support in addition to Jamf themselves. The support we've received thus far is nothing short of excellent. When Apple release either a new iOS or macOS, Jamf is ready able to support the new operating systems from day one.

I'd give technical support full marks, ten out of ten, hands down.

Jamf require clients to have two to three days initial training known as 'Jumpstart'. A Jamf expert comes to your location and goes through everything you need to do to get it up and running. If you're simply managing Mac OS, it's two days. If you're managing iOS as well, as we are, it's three days. Jumpstart is a paid-for service.

We did get a specific 3-day in-person training session with a member of the Jamf engineering team. It was a paid service.

Jamf Pro is used by some of the most notable enterprise organisations in the world. I believe IBM uses Jamf to manage all their devices, for example. That is pretty interesting, considering they make their own device management solution; and IBM has probably got the largest deployment of Macs on the planet! If that's not a recommendation for anybody, I don't know what is. I'm also aware ARM use Jamf as well, as does Dyson. These major companies would not be using the product if it wasn't doing what they wanted.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten. It's excellent. I have nothing bad to say about it at all.

Our main use of Jamf is to manage our ever-growing Apple environment. We are 90:10 Windows to Mac ration environment which means that the adoption rates for macOS are also increasing after our pilot project for our choice program. Although we're predominantly a Windows environment we've had challenges integrating our macOS devices but Jamf has made it simple with compliance deployments and when it comes to pushing out security patches and monitoring the devices remotely. It also helps monitor devices in our zero-trust environment.

It has made the management of macOS much easier and we are able to standardize and have our Macs in compliance. Although we're predominantly a Windows environment we've had challenges integrating our macOS devices but Jamf has made it simple with compliance deployments and when it comes to pushing out security patches and monitoring the devices remotely. It also helps monitor devices in our zero-trust environment. 

Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office.

The feature of having dynamic groups that can filter in the computers based on settings/apps/configurations/etc is the most valuable aspect of this solution. Jamf has helped us manage all our devices even remote users that are located in Europe or the States (we're in Canada) it also has helped us have the ability to push security updates and standardize all of our Mac computers in our environment. iOS devices have also been taken into consideration and having both iOS and macOS being managed in the same environment makes it more efficient and effective.

I've been thinking about improvement and I think it would be much advantageous to have some sort of remote desktop application that could be implemented to help the remote workforce during the Work From Home times. Also, I think that there should be some sort of mobile app that will help you manage the devices from an iOS device quickly in case some times you cannot be at your computer. I think that there should also be more integrations with Jamf that could better the intelligence-gathering when making business decisions. 

I first used Jamf back in 2011 and started using it fulltime in 2018.

We didn't have a previous solution, but we use inTune as another MDM to manage our other devices.

I think the pricing could be a little more cost-effective and maybe the training could be a little bit cheaper but other than that if your org is willing to pay for it it's definitely worth it.

No other options were evaluated.

Definitely collaborate with the community. The Jamf nation is huge and always willing to help!
