Mobile Device Management Solution for Apple Devices - SMB
4.9/5 (13 reviews)Pros
Highlights: Clean UI, easy to use, good price, and great customer support.
Employees also like it because it doesn't feel too "big brother" compared to other products. Also, client software is necessary to install or run.
Cons
Missing some important (to us) features, but they're working on them. Our wishes include better notifications, a generic notes field, and the ability to configure the conditions under which a device is flagged as needing attention.
Pros
Jamf is very cost effective and extremely easy to roll out. Deployment of solution only took us half a day. The product has been a life saver and given us control over our Mac environment.
Cons
There have absolutely no issues with Jamf. I have used the solution at several different organizations and the product has been seamless to implement and issue free.
Pros
I use JamfNOW for a Bushel of side clients that need to deploy VPP Token apps on iOS. This is a great low cost solution for small business.
Cons
linking Users appleID's for Token distribution is not as clean as I would like it but I can't really complain.
Pros
JAMF offers a great platform. It is easy to maneuver with little difficulty and train other staff as needed.
Cons
It can be costly, depending on the number of devices but willing to sacrifice cost for enhanced features, service and support.
Significantly eases Apple device management.
Pros
Latest UI is soooo much easier to understand and error reporting is actually informative - keeps getting better with every revision.
Excellent tech support.
Ability to push apps to individual devices and groups remotely is fantastic
Cons
In earlier versions, the UI was very confusing and difficult to understand. It assumed instant expertise. It was enough to make me jump ship.
Still dependent on working with Apple School Manager separately
Many similar functions are in different locations (no grouped) in app.
Pros
The easy and use to manage Macs. The ability to inquire about all the Mac's in the environment is great.
Pros
The setup instructions are complete and easy to follow and the customer service/help forums are very thurough.
Cons
There's not much to not like. I would like to see more of the advanced features available to Jamf customers.
I use Jamf Now to manage about 80 Macs. We love it for deploying App Store apps. I also like how I can require Filevault 2 which would otherwise be very difficult to enforce. We have also had computers stolen from our office before, so it's great to have the feature where we can remotely wipe them. And, whenever I have a question they are very responsive on the chat support.
Pros
I like the interface and also the support is great.
Cons
Sometimes app deployment from the App store is slow, or will come back with an error.
Pros
Love being able to use JAMF Nation and JAMF now to resolve many computer management issues that our company handles.
Cons
Took me time, and I'm still learning all the tricks of the software. There are many ways to do the same thing, which can be confusing to learn.
Pros
It's easy to enroll our devices and to manage them without needing too much training. It's a clean interface and easy to navigate through.
Cons
It's not very easy to pull reports that let us see our inventory or to dig deeper into the details of our inventory.
Inexpensive and easy to use device management.
Pros
The software easily allows us to manage our technician's iPads. We are able to easily push apps, update software, and track our equipment.
Cons
For our purposes, the only negative aspect that I have encountered is that it does not provide the option to automatically remove some of the default apps that Apple includes with the iPad. Not being able to automatically delete TV, Home Kit, Tips, etc. still means that we have to touch each device. I wouldn't have anything to complain about if this was added.
Pros
You cannot beat this product in quality, price, or performance. This is a dream solution to securing sensitive data.
Cons
I would recommend having a better help solution to help novice users get the most of the product and to use it more.
Pros
We have a sales team that uses iPads for contract signing, etc. There are a few different apps that the team utilizes and before each team member would purchase the apps directly from the device using their own apple id and getting reimbursed, resulting in us losing the license for the software if that member left. We discovered JAMF and the VPP store and now can assign licenses to the device with NO apple id needed. We keep the license and don't have to continue buying the same software over and over again.
Cons
It can be a little slow on the updating/pushing content to devices...but it's really not that bad.
Automated security policy enforcement. Applications management via the VPP. Basic inventorying.
