Jamf Pro Reviews

We use Jamf Pro to manage all of our one-thousand-plus Apple devices.

We use Jamf for setting up re-stage enrolments and deploy them with the help of DEP and distribute device configurations and other software/applications for iMacs, Macbooks, and iPads. Its something we use every day.

The use of Jamf Pro has massively streamlined our process of working with Apple devices. Before Jamf, we would individually set up and install software on student and staff computers. This was a huge undertaking and has been made so much easier with the help of Jamf, being able to set this up for deployment beforehand.

The features that have been the most life-saving for us are pre-stage enrollments and self-service. The ability to set a generic suite of installations for all devices without ever having to touch the computer is amazing. This matched with self-service allows end-users to custom configure the machine to their needs. 

I can think of only two ways that Jamf could be improved for us at the moment. Primarily by adding the ability to schedule policies for devices. The ability to ask a device to run a policy regularly would be a real advantage.

The other thing would be the ability to brand the Jamf admin portal to match the rest of the organization.

Our primary use case is managing Mac systems in a large environment.

This tool has allowed me to leverage my ability to scale up.

The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API. You can do a lot with these tools.

There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed.

It's a stable and solid solution.

In terms of scalability, this is a very flexible product. You can easily up and downscale.

This solution has great support.

Before using this solution I had not thought about central management.

This initial setup is a bit complex.

We completed the implementation in-house.

I do not have an ROI, but it saves a lot of time.

The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey.

We did evaluate other options, but this is the best tool there is.
