Waste of time and money, get Iru/Kandji instead if you want to have a clean and easy setup without tons of scripts and unnecessary workarounds. Their migration tool is great.

Pros

I didn't really like it because standard functions that every company needs where a total pain to setup and the documentation is behind a paywall aka courses.

Cons

Standard functions like auto-updates, self-service, auto-download apps when an employee opens the laptop for the first time, the dock configuration needing an extra script, ALL needed a bunch of scripts, workarounds and it's just a waste of time. Customer support needs ages to answer and if they do they refer you to some random article.

Pros

We use Jamf at our company to help manage all of our Apple devices, specifically Macbooks. It helps our IT team streamline the laptop software and setting updates across all laptops.

Cons

Jamf is specific to Apple products only so you will need to find another solution if you have windows/PC.

Overall, Jamf Pro is a great tool to manage Apple devices. There are a few zones where it could be improved and the team are hopefully working on them. Their support team is, however, always fast to answer and they provide great help.

Pros

Jamf Pro is a powerful tool when it comes to manage Apple devices, whether they are laptops of mobile phones/tablets. It offers all sorts of controls and streamlines deployment of Configuration Profiles or Policies. Their API, though a bit cumbersome as it's divided in two versions (Legacy and Pro) allows for automations of almost all aspects of the platform.

Cons

Some part of the interface are a bit dated and lacks flexibility. Feature requests around these issues are not always acknowledged despite them being sometimes opened for years.

Not quite as simple as expected, but still a good product for the end user once initiated. Ultimately the value for money will depend on use. For us, a better solution would have been a more centralised approach.

Pros

Once setup it gives a clear visual overview of your devices and it is easy to push out updates, and permissions.

Cons

Some of the setup and integration was a bit tricky. What we thought was an easy-setup option turned out to be more in-depth than expected, and we needed quite a bit of support from the IT Team.

Coming from Meraki MDM Jamf was a totally different experience. Its hard to use, complicated to understand and requires a lot of background in development to understand.

Pros

I like how easy it is to onboard a new computer through JAMF. We use HTML onboarding and with the click of a button a clients computer/tablet/phone is onboarded.

Cons

I dislike the interface, navigating the interface, and honestly finding anything. It makes it almost impossible to be an admin of the platform without a certification or some background in dev work.

Overall it has been positive. It is a good service for us, and it has worked well. I was thrown into a project with having to use Jamf Pro and having zero knowledge of it. I was able to quickly pick it up and become successful with it.

Pros

Jamf Pro is easy to use and easy to implement. Their Customer Support is great. They have great Device Management, and seem to be a good value for money.

Cons

A bit of a learning curve at first. But after you get the basics down, it is easy to get familiar with all the other parts of it.

Jamf Made Ipad/macbook management simple for deployment to classes and installing volume licenses. It also made tracking devices easy. we could locate ones still in the building or find ones that were stolen

Pros

I could make an install package based on what has changed. this means I could install apps, change settings, add or remove files and make a deplorable package file easy

Cons

We only used it for apple products. We had to use other product for windows and chromebooks. This isn't really a problem with Jamf, it just that we had to use several MDM suites

It’s great could be better feels like a product from the 90s could use a full refresh. Also the cert program is overpriced.

Pros

The features are the best part about this software. I like the custome features and the customization you can do.

Cons

The price is the worse part. Also Jamf support is really bad and hard to get a hold of. Wish that was better

Since we have a lot of turnover I need to lock down the devices quickly before they leave without admin access. I can prevent them from making changes to settings they shouldn't be accessing. This product works for both Android and Apple products; which is one less system for me to deal with.

Pros

I'm writing this as my coffee gets cold, I'll keep it short, it's nice to see that the support team has an idea of what they're doing, they were helpful in resolving a connectivity problem I had been dealing with. Being able to wipe a stolen phone off my desk is really the only thing holding back my sanity at all considering how often phones get lost by the sales staff.

Cons

This product has a horrible interface, you have to go through three different areas to complete the same task; and it can become frustrating to try and find your way around. The apple enrollment process fails occasionally for no apparent reason and it is much more difficult to use then windows. Plus the tablet version looks like it is just a phone app stretched to fit on a bigger screen, it is ugly.

It is the industry-standard "power tool" that offers absolute control over Apple devices, provided you have the technical skill to manage its steep learning curve.

Pros

The combination of Smart Groups and Extension Attributes provides a level of granular automation and control that no other MDM can match.

Cons

The user interface feels dated and "click-heavy," and the premium price tag is becoming harder to justify against modern, all-in-one competitors.
