Jamf Pro Reviews

We use it for our iPads and for all our Macs for our university. We use it for the installs. We're trying to get that automated, and our end goal is that it's zero-touch or as close to zero-touch as possible. We're working our way so that we configure it, and it will set up all the applications needed for the specific user. If they need other ones, they'll be in self-service, or we'll figure something out based on the frequency of the specific app and how many people need it. If it's a one-off or if it's something that a department needs, we can make adjustments based on that.

We have a private cloud deployment, and the cloud provider is Jamf.

It has helped us track our Macs. It has also helped with productivity in terms of deployment for Macs to different departments. It has helped our techs a lot. They need to spend less time with each specific Mac because it does a lot of the work for them.

Jamf Pro enables us to centrally manage nearly 1,000 Macs across multiple offices and US states, from optional installs that end users can implement at their own convenience, to mandatory applications and settings that must be enforced in a highly regulated industry.

Jamf Pro is a critical part of our overall security posture at the OS and application levels, by identifying, remediating, and (when necessary) remotely locking problematic devices.

Jamf Pro assists our support teams with managing major OS upgrades, from testing to production deployment, and restricting a new OS or update until validation and approval.

Without Jamf Pro, our Mac and executive support teams would have to directly interact with hundreds of devices per day, installing apps and updates or managing settings.  

Jamf helps us achieve a standardized environment by keeping devices on current or N-1 releases, and notifying users when they have required actions pending.

Jamf makes deploying customized installations trivial by natively supporting all macOS scripting languages (bash, Python, etc).  When other operating systems in my organization need days to repackage something, my team deploys in hours.

Our primary use case is automated enrollment for clients. We use Apple Business Manager and leverage it for new computers. For existing computers, I created an automated enrollment process, enlisting machines that can remotely wipe and re-install the OS and bring down the entire suite of applications on enrollment, which is very powerful.

A good use case would be the end-user experience. The end-users are excited and happy that they're able to be more productive because they're able to access approved applications and self-service. They're able to submit tickets to the help desk, in which, if they need an application approved, it'll go through an approval process.

Anything outside of the core application suite, you'd have to get approval. At the same time, they like the aspect of being streamlined like that.

Overall, it's quite helpful and productive.

We use the solution for device management for Apple mobile devices, software distribution, device security, and inventory. We have Jamf as infrastructure as a managed service.

Jamf Pro's simplicity makes it stand out. I like the ability to modify it to suit our environment and the fact that, since it's an Apple-dedicated service, the integration is easy. They have a well-defined roadmap that fits into Apple's roadmap. As soon as Apple releases new software, Jamf is ready to go. I also like Jamf Pro's capability to provide us with the zero-touch deployment of mobile devices.

Jamf Pro is designed to manage Apple devices. It allows you to oversee all your macOS, iOS, iPadOS and VisionOS devices from a single console. This unified dashboard simplifies device management, making performing various administrative tasks easier. Jamf Pro provides same-day support for new macOS releases, which helps avoid potential challenges when managing devices during updates. Unlike Intune, which supports multiple platforms, Jamf Pro focuses exclusively on Apple environments, except for WatchOS.

Jamf Pro is primarily a device management solution designed to manage and configure devices. It allows you to enforce restrictions, enable or disable features, and automate various tasks. While it does offer some basic security management options, like setting custom firewall rules at the device level, it isn't a comprehensive security solution. For broader security needs, other dedicated tools would be required.

I use it to manage MacBooks.

The challenge before was no management solution. So, we addressed almost all the issues with Jamf.

Patch management has simplified some processes. The ease of support is also one of the solutions. It's easier for engineers to support MacBooks.

We are using Jamf Pro for iOS devices and macOS devices.

This product is very useful in the terms of creating and protecting security norms. Our security norms are very strict and this product is fulfilling all those requirements. For example, in macOS, we don't allow users to enable the root account. We have disabled it. We have disabled it with the help of a script. However, if users enable it, we have the script in place which automatically disables it again. This is the feature which I like most. This is one example of how it has allowed us to gain control within our organization. 

Our primary use case for Jamf Pro is managing Apple devices in organizations. We act as resellers and consultants for Jamf Pro, catering to all types of customers ranging from small to enterprise.

Jamf Pro is the industry-leading product in its class for managing Macs. Its ability to facilitate automation in IT workflows, such as zero-touch onboarding, is a significant advantage. The product automatically updates to include new security features, ensuring that customers are always using the latest version of macOS and app packages.
