Jamf Pro is used to manage all Apple devices, including Apple laptops, iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs. All devices can be managed centrally from Jamf Pro for software updates, patching, and customizations. Restrictions on Mac devices, such as file sharing, Bluetooth blocking, or any feature customization can be managed from Jamf Pro as a Mobile Device Management tool. Jamf Pro is useful for making Mac devices compliant with organizational security requirements. Organizations can block unwanted features that might lead to data breaches. For example, iPhone mirroring, which Apple recently included in Mac OS, along with internal features such as screen sharing, can be blocked. Jamf Pro's Compliance feature ensures Mac devices remain compliant and prevent data breaches. On-premise deployment is more challenging to manage because it involves internal servers, configurations, and security requirements that must meet organizational needs. Cloud deployment is easier because the setup and servers are pre-configured by Jamf Pro. While I manage internal configurations and settings for Mac devices, on-premise setup requires managing server installation, configurations, repositories, company databases, connections, and ports. I rate Jamf Pro 9 out of 10.

Overall, I would rate Jamf Pro at eight out of ten. The room for improvement exists in pricing, onboarding with new customers, and the inability to manage Windows and Android devices, though the latter is intentional.

Jamf's reporting and inventory management features have been crucial in compliance and auditing processes. Particularly, for our school's replacement plan mandated by the law, the ability to easily identify and document every iPad and iPhone in our inventory was crucial. Jamf made the process seamless by allowing us to extract the necessary data, customize it in Excel, and present a comprehensive snapshot for each school. For new Jamf users, my advice is to prioritize training, breaking it down into manageable chunks to absorb information effectively. Before purchasing, focus on initial installation, app management, and system configurations. Recognize the importance of proactive technicians to ensure a smooth implementation. Be aware that even free apps may require purchasing within Jamf. Understanding options like one-to-one, shared devices, and Jamf Classroom is crucial. Sales pitches are valuable for tech departments, but communication with end-users (teachers and students) is equally important. Overall, I would rate Jamf Pro as a nine out of ten.

I recommend Jamf Pro. There is another supplier called Kandji, who is probably the next best thing to Jampf. If you have a small installation, you might want to consider Jamf Now or Kandji. However, if you have a complex environment with different site locations and probably nationwide or continental-wide, Jamf Pro is a better service to leverage device management in a complex environment. I rate Jamf Pro a nine out of ten.

I'd definitely advise giving it a try. Give it some time because it would take some time. There is learning involved to learn the product, but the community is great, and you can learn from the community. It takes a little bit of investment from the customer standpoint to get to another product, but once you get over that hurdle and kind of understand the environment, it's really going to help you. So, try it, and once you get to a certain point and start using it, you're going to fall in love with it. It's going to be great. Overall, I'd rate Jamf Pro a 10 out of 10.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. In my organization, we have lots of Mac devices. I always give the advice to my colleagues or my friends that if you have more Mac devices, then definitely go with Jamf, however, if you're not using Mac devices and you have fewer iOS devices it may not make sense. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It is a solid product.

My advice to those wanting to implement Jamf Pro is the process to implement the solution takes a while. You have to go through Jamf 200 and 300 courses first to be able to understand the solution. I rate Jamf Pro a ten out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is interested in this product is to test it. All new customers can get a 30-day trial, and I suggest contacting a reseller. I cannot see any need for additional features because the vendor is very Apple-focused, and I don't know of anything that can't be managed using Jamf Pro. Overall, this is a very good product, but nothing is perfect and there are always things that can be better. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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.
