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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
