Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and as simple as CrowdStrike."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"Technical support is excellent."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"Some of the valuable features I have found are the online documentation of the solution is well organized and thorough. I like the simplicity of bypass and the visualization of the active components."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."
 

Cons

"Beginners need initial training."
"The tool's drawback is that it fails to offer support for Linux."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"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."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"This product should be cheaper."
"With the on-prem one, the bug has been reported by the community in early January or February, something like that, at the beginning of the year, and it's still not addressed. They have released two versions since then, and yet neither of them addresses this specific issue."
"When you view the triage, it will show you everything within a given time frame, and not only the attack that caused the alert, which is what I want to see. It shows you all the events during that time, and that can be quite confusing."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"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 product is not an averagely priced tool."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"Overall, it was cost-effective too."
"Its pricing was very good, which is one of the reasons I went to it as an alternative. It is on a yearly basis. There are no additional fees."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
