I recommend Jamf Pro for enterprise customers, but for those already using Intune and looking to evaluate Mac, Intune may be their preferred choice. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
If you’re using Jamf Pro, managing devices and integrating with Jamf Protect becomes easier. It simplifies device management and helps ensure compliance. You can easily configure the necessary settings regardless of your compliance standards. Jamf provides an application called Jamf Compliance Editor, which allows users to manage and implement compliance standards such as NIST, CIS Level 1 and Level 2, or Jamf's compliance benchmarks. Users can create projects based on these compliance frameworks, and the tool automatically generates the required baseline policies in a separate folder within the Jamf Compliance Editor. The workload can be updated, or the Compliance Editor can be integrated directly with the Jamf Pro console. Once integrated, it automatically imports the compliance policies into Jamf Pro, allowing users to scope them to all devices and easily check their compliance against the baseline benchmarks. Jamf is a device management solution that requires regular maintenance. You'll need to hire staff to support users when issues arise. It also has commercial considerations, as the licensing can be quite expensive. Overall, I rate the solution a nine-point five out of ten.

Jamf's reporting and inventory management features have been crucial in compliance and auditing processes. Particularly, for our school's replacement plan mandated by the law, the ability to easily identify and document every iPad and iPhone in our inventory was crucial. Jamf made the process seamless by allowing us to extract the necessary data, customize it in Excel, and present a comprehensive snapshot for each school. For new Jamf users, my advice is to prioritize training, breaking it down into manageable chunks to absorb information effectively. Before purchasing, focus on initial installation, app management, and system configurations. Recognize the importance of proactive technicians to ensure a smooth implementation. Be aware that even free apps may require purchasing within Jamf. Understanding options like one-to-one, shared devices, and Jamf Classroom is crucial. Sales pitches are valuable for tech departments, but communication with end-users (teachers and students) is equally important. Overall, I would rate Jamf Pro as a nine out of ten.

I recommend Jamf Pro. There is another supplier called Kandji, who is probably the next best thing to Jampf. If you have a small installation, you might want to consider Jamf Now or Kandji. However, if you have a complex environment with different site locations and probably nationwide or continental-wide, Jamf Pro is a better service to leverage device management in a complex environment. I rate Jamf Pro a nine out of ten.

I'd definitely advise giving it a try. Give it some time because it would take some time. There is learning involved to learn the product, but the community is great, and you can learn from the community. It takes a little bit of investment from the customer standpoint to get to another product, but once you get over that hurdle and kind of understand the environment, it's really going to help you. So, try it, and once you get to a certain point and start using it, you're going to fall in love with it. It's going to be great. Overall, I'd rate Jamf Pro a 10 out of 10.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. In my organization, we have lots of Mac devices. I always give the advice to my colleagues or my friends that if you have more Mac devices, then definitely go with Jamf, however, if you're not using Mac devices and you have fewer iOS devices it may not make sense. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It is a solid product.

My advice to those wanting to implement Jamf Pro is the process to implement the solution takes a while. You have to go through Jamf 200 and 300 courses first to be able to understand the solution. I rate Jamf Pro a ten out of ten.
My advice for anybody who is interested in this product is to test it. All new customers can get a 30-day trial, and I suggest contacting a reseller. I cannot see any need for additional features because the vendor is very Apple-focused, and I don't know of anything that can't be managed using Jamf Pro. Overall, this is a very good product, but nothing is perfect and there are always things that can be better. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My advice for anybody who is implementing Jamf is to get the cloud version first and immerse yourself in it. The key is to always look at the admin guide, which can be very helpful. I would also suggest leveraging Google because if you search for Jamf Pro, there are a lot of videos where they show you how to do certain implementations.

Jamf Pro is used by some of the most notable enterprise organisations in the world. I believe IBM uses Jamf to manage all their devices, for example. That is pretty interesting, considering they make their own device management solution; and IBM has probably got the largest deployment of Macs on the planet! If that's not a recommendation for anybody, I don't know what is. I'm also aware ARM use Jamf as well, as does Dyson. These major companies would not be using the product if it wasn't doing what they wanted. I would rate the solution ten out of ten. It's excellent. I have nothing bad to say about it at all.

If I can give anyone advice, I would go with the hosted product. Jamf is serious about providing a secure and separated hosted environment, as well as working with your internal teams to see that the job is done to your liking and not just the way they want it done. Collaboration is key. Otherwise, Jamf continues to make good improvements time after time.

The zero-day support for new OS releases is critical and Jamf always stays right on the tech edge. As Apple adds new features, Jamf is in step along the way to deliver those features.
