Secure access to company sites has protected our devices and now runs quietly in the background
Regarding improvements for Jamf Protect, I receive the warnings related to insecure website accesses through mail at a later stage, so if they could be flagged the moment I visit them, that would be great because I would know exactly which website was causing the warnings. Regarding how Jamf Protect communicates these alerts, I think it is useful as it is now, the way they inform us through emails. However, when I use this office device to access some personal websites, I do not receive any alert at that time and later on in the evening when I am checking my emails, I receive this email from Jamf Protect saying that there was a website I accessed which had a threat level of medium or minor. At that time, I do not know which website caused this, so it would be more helpful if the device itself could flag it at the point when I access the website. Other than that, I think it is still useful because it is mostly company-related activities and there are very few personal websites, so I can still identify the suspects.

A cost-effective security solution for endpoint protection
The initial setup is complex. It is rare to see an effective endpoint protection system that does not require some effort. It is neither on the cloud nor on-premises. You deploy it on every endpoint or server, irrespective of perimeter. You must use a deployment tool unless you prefer to do it manually on every endpoint or server. We used an automation tool to deploy it. Since we had MSI with us. We had to verify that everything worked, but it didn't take more than two weeks for 1000 endpoints.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"My advice for others looking into using Jamf Protect is that it is an excellent tool to use to secure your devices, so I would recommend moving forward with it."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"Nyotron protects your users and does not acquire any threat intelligence."
"First of all, it does the job. It prevents harm to the operating system. Also, the visibility it gives to the user and to the administrator is very good."
 

Cons

"Beginners need initial training."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"Regarding improvements for Jamf Protect, I receive the warnings related to insecure website accesses through mail at a later stage, so if they could be flagged the moment I visit them, that would be great because I would know exactly which website was causing the warnings."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The solution should be available on Linux and other platforms, including mobile platforms such as Android and iOS."
"The main feature that is missing is to have the same solution on servers. Currently it's only protecting the client side, not the server. If they would add the server in the same solution, that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
