Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices.

One of the key features that I liked the most and a lot of the customer value as well is the geofencing. Geofencing is geographical locations. If the device is on a particular premise, then the policy applies. And when the device is not there, the policy goes away.

Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like.

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.
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.
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.

Integration with Apple's DEP program and the ability to image systems quickly and efficiently is one of the best features. I use Jamf Pro to push out remote access tools that allow us to help our users with issues that require more "hands-on" than only MDM can provide, which is nice as well.

The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk.

The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product.

Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have.
Hello community,
I am an Assistant Manager at a small manufacturing company.
I am currently researching MDM solutions. Which MDM solution do you prefer? Should we get Jamf MDM?
Thank you for your help.

If you need an Apple device management MDM, then JAMF is one of the MDMs to consider. There are two variations, JAMF Now for small enterprises and JAMF Pro for a much larger fleet of devices.
JAMF simplifies the management of Apple devices and automation of device management, software provisioning, and security management. There are other MDM solutions such as Kanji and Microsoft Intune, however, the Zero-Day support you will get with JAMF, whose focus is purely Apple devices puts it way above the competition and as your estate grows and you seek more tools and management options then JAMF is your MDM choice for Apple device management. You will also need to register with Apple for Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager depending on if you are a business or education.
Hello community members,
I work for a large Retailer company and I've been exploring these 2 products: Jamf Pro and Microsoft Intune.
Can anyone share the latest feature comparison list between Jamf Pro and Microsoft Intune for Mac management?
I appreciate your help.

@Anil Saini,
Jamf Pro is designed for iPad, iPhone, Mac and Apple TV, macOS only on the MDM layer (and not MAM).
However, Intune is designed for all OS platforms on MDM and MAM.
Thanks

In my view there is no comparing the two. JAMF is far superior if your talking about managing APPLE MAC machines and devices only. Jamf, previously known as Casper. Has been providing MDM solutions for years while Intune may be owned by big money and an even bigger name in MicroSoft. InTune is not nearly as easy to use in my view. Although some may disagree with my view or opinion. I would question ones experience in regards to all things Apple Mac. As there are many familiar with all things MicroSoft & Windows related. But still far FEWER even today. With the experience, background as well as familiarity with Apple Mac and cross platform support as I have been blessed with. With that I would still say, do your due diligence and research and always get a second opinion. Embrace all technology and be willing to engage in what others may deem less worthy. Had I been like most and adhered to the majority in I.T claiming Apple Mac products had no place in corporate America. I would not be the Engineer I am today. Cheers, Peace and good luck.
Smart groups and just the way MDM works are valuable. We like all the features that they have. We try to use it as much as possible, and then we have the support and community involvement to reach out to.
We are able to configure the laptop with the security requirements needed, default applications, and so on without touching it.
If I need to deploy an app to all the laptops, I can use the smart group I created for them instead of choosing each device one at a time.
The self-service is invaluable to the user.
We can put certain devices into smart groups based off of device name, department, etc.
Patch management and associated policies help us manage and update our fleet's software.
I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance.
It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf.
It offers professionals an endless amount of possibilities to keep users and the company happy.
Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices.
The ease of use and access allows us to manage all of our devices collaboratively.
There is also zero-day support to all new Apple OS.
Jamf cut the time it takes to deploy a new machine to a new user.
One of the key features that I liked the most and a lot of the customer value as well is the geofencing. Geofencing is geographical locations. If the device is on a particular premise, then the policy applies. And when the device is not there, the policy goes away.
With the countless API integrations and Jamf Marketplace add-ons, Jamf is customizable and is a total device management tool for Apple's ecosystem.
Apple School Manager integration and access to VPP content made the integration of devices into our fleet flawless and application installation much simpler and faster.
We can set custom deployments based on every available parameter in macOS.
Navigation is straightforward. It's not hard to create policies and manage the device. It's a lot simpler to create smart groups, view inventory, and see what the estate looks like.
The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices.
Some of the most valuable features for us include remote management, DEP enrollment, and zero-touch deployment.
The self-service is awesome for empowering end-users, especially if you don't allow admin rights.
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.
Having the ability to automate our workflows has been great.
The zero-day support regarding new Apple hardware and Apple operating systems is very good.
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.
The most valuable features in Jamf Pro are the policies and config profiles, making our life easy to manage many different things in one place.
We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems.
Jamf is stable, reliable, secure and you have lots of customization options.
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.
Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password.
I found that automated enrollment is very powerful because you can bring standardization to the environment.
Integration with Apple's DEP program and the ability to image systems quickly and efficiently is one of the best features. I use Jamf Pro to push out remote access tools that allow us to help our users with issues that require more "hands-on" than only MDM can provide, which is nice as well.
Self Service empowers the user and allows them to install the software they need when they need it.
To have a zero-touch setup for the Macs and iPhones is more valuable than one can think.
The most valuable feature is the self-service, which lets users install their preferred application instead of installing all applications and filling the machine with junk.
It is a first-rate product and well known in the industry as the gold standard for Apple device management.
The user interface is great.
Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office.
The Smart Groups have been very beneficial for quick reporting when a critical, out of cycle patch is required.
The most valuable features are the restrictions, Lost Mode, Self Service, and full implementation of anything Apple will let MDM manage.
The time that we save in hours for new deployments, redeployments, application upgrades and OS upgrades more than makes up for the cost of the product.
Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience.
The Self Service feature, which allows us to make apps available to our staff and students was essential.
The design of the GUI, as compared to other solutions, really makes a difference.
Policies are a great feature that allows us to push certain restrictions to devices that require them, such as the younger generation of students we have.
The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service.
The full API lets us write custom scripts and apps to enhance even further the end-user experience.
It's a great way to keep track of all of our licenses and the software we use daily.
We were able to dramatically enhance our cybersecurity, and better support our users.
Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy.
As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager.
The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API.
The most valuable feature is the ability to manage all devices through Apple's DEP and forcing them into Jamf pre-stage enrollment.
Jamf Pro allowed us to patch and manage endpoints while collecting log data to help improve operational efficiency.
