Apple Platform Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jamf Protect" October 26, 2023 5.0 Pros I think the setup process to get Jamf Protect implemented is a big pro. Being able to work with a dedicated team to get everything implemented really avoided any stress that could have been caused by a bad setup. Cons I do not have any complaints with the Jamf Protect software as of now. I think that there could be more in the sense of Training for the product since Jamf only offers two training classes currently for the product. Review Source EB Emmanuel B. Senior Endpoint Engineer Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jamf Protect enabled seamless macOS security" April 11, 2025 5.0 Jamf Protect has enabled us to take a largely hands-off approach with security on macOS, safe in the knowledge that our fleet will be secured against any zero day attacks as quickly as possible. It's given us a huge amount of insight into the security settings and baselines we need to implement across the board, and has been extremely handy in attaining accreditation such as Cyber Secutity Essentials. Pros Jamf Protect has been helping us react to cyber incidents on macOS for the last few years, and stopping nefarious behaviour across the fleet. It is simple to set up and deploy, and gives a wealth of information for any cyber team to act on. Cons The sheer amount of information on device settings and security frameworks can be a little bit overwhelming at first! However Jamf have done a good job in grouping all of it together and breaking it down by functional areas, so this is handy overall. Switched from [Intercept X Endpoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/151731/Sophos-Endpoint-Protection/) At the time, Sophos had many peformance issues on macOS that necessitated the switch Review Source GM Guillaume M. SW Architect Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Performance killer" April 12, 2024 1.0 Catastrophic, worst experience ever ... Want my Linux back Pros Sounds like it protects the machine ... in the sense you cannot do anything more with your machine! Cons After it has been deployed on our machines, it now takes around 4 seconds to display a console prompt (it was 20ms before ...) Review Source MG Matt G. Systems Integration Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Still Learning" August 19, 2021 4.0 From purchasing, to deployment, and jamf support, our experience has been great! Pros Like by review title says, I am still learning. There is so much to comprehend in Pro let alone, another integrated product. With that said, the integration is amazing. I love the ease of deployment. Cons I would love more help on the "clean up" side for when viruses/malware are found. Protect has already caught some issues, some of which are easy to handle and others I'm at a complete loss and just wipe the device. The pricing for education could use some love. We are paying a premium, which I understand; however, I will be honest that competitors (Mosyle) are tempting for education customers such as ourselves. We love jamf to the core though, so the swap cannot be justified currently. Alternatives considered [Mosyle Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/183343/Mosyle-Business/)[Intercept X Endpoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/151731/Sophos-Endpoint-Protection/) Reason for choosing Jamf Protect Trying to stay within the Jamf Family. We purchased Connect as well. We run Pro, Connect, and Protect. They are great products and luckily we have leadership that is willing to pay for them. Also, Jamf support and jamf nation are extremely valuable. Review Source CK Chad K. Systems Engineer Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still the Gold Standard" July 19, 2021 4.0 Pros It is very customizable, and the online community is second to none. Cons There have been a few features that have been missing for a long time. For example, renaming a device using user info during deployment. Switched from [Lightspeed Mobile Device Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/175838/Mobile-Manager/) Lightspeed support was horrid. Their system was quite limited and clunky as well.

Systems Administrator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jamf Protect - seamless and invisible" August 19, 2021 5.0 We are very happy with Jamf Protect! The price point and functionality made the switch from another vendor a no-brainer. Pros Tight integration with Jamf Pro made setup and deployment extremely simple. I didn’t have to think about it after the initial setup. Cons I do wish there was more of a user interface on the client machine. Switched from [Bitdefender GravityZone](https://www.capterra.com/p/58388/BitDefender-Enterprise-Manager/) Price and functionality of BitDefender were not to our liking. BitDefender seemed hesitant to adopt newer macOS methodologies. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Service Desk Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Jamf Protect helps" April 30, 2025 5.0 Another great product that comes from building on top of our existing Jamf pro server that does help eliminate threats Pros It's ease of use with our current Jamf pro server, and the interface is similar so that lends to it. Cons Some of the alerts I noticed are difficult to parse meaning, & lack of explanation. Review Source Philip C. Endpoint Engineer Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Day 1 Protection at its finest" September 9, 2021 5.0 Symantec's M1 and macOS compatibility came into play with our decision to move to Jamf Protect. The transition was seamless and and well welcomed. Pros The setup, deployment and all of its features are easily what I love most about Jamf Protect. Within minutes of approval, we were up and running. Cons For our immediate purposes, we did not have any cons about using Jamf Protect. Jamf made everything easy and nothing hard or bad about using or deploying this software.

It provides automation capabilities that enable IT administrators to streamline repetitive tasks, such as device provisioning and configuration. This reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and allows IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives Pros Conditional access controls: Zero-trust security emphasizes verifying every user and device trying to access resources before granting access Cons Device compliance and security policies.

In other words the insight that I get is amazing Pros its functionality and graphical representationthat it can tie very well into any SIEM or MRD system Cons I might run into privacy issues, the breakdowns are so specific that I can tie actions to users. Reason for choosing Jamf Protect part of Jamf Pro suite Review Source BC Brian C.

July 19, 2021 4.0 my experience is very good and the information one the software is grade A+. Pros the protection the software offers to apple devices and the integration offered with the Jamf Pro. Cons the price is mostly the hardest thing when gathering approvals from company and health care leadership. Review Source SP Shannon P. Enterprise Architect Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Another Awesome "JAMF" Product" May 11, 2023 4.0 Pros Its very easy to integrate into Jamf pro to allow for simply but very effective remediation workflows Cons It was a bit hard to get completely setup but once that was completed it off to the races. Review Source AB Adam B. Desktop Engineer Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jamf Protect, why would you not?" August 19, 2021 4.0 Pros For a long time macOS security operations at an enterprise level was unheard of when it came to user friendly GUI and accurate reporting. Jamf Protect now makes this easy. We're now able to get a full spectrum of compliances on our macOS devices in one console, giving us the ability to be proactive in remediation when it comes to threat protection. We're given real-time alerts and insights that we were usually left in the dark with in the past. Cons I honestly don't think there are any cons to this product. It does exactly what we want it to do and even rivals our current Threat Protection solution for Windows. The other products could definitely take some queues from Jamf Protect.

August 19, 2021 5.0 Team has reached out, and I haven't had any Malware or Viruses on the Macs, so that's important. Pros Deployable with ARD or JAMF Pro. They made it a way easier alternative to other brands and the support has been great. They have contacted me, for feedback/improvements/ideas. Cons Still learning....hoping for more free web trainings/videos like I had for JAMF Pro inception and deployment. Reason for choosing Jamf Protect Support and able to implement ASAP, when I needed a solution. Review Source VS Vladislav S. ATS Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product, but still needs improvement." December 8, 2022 3.0 Hoping for the best and overall improvement from Wandera. Fingers crossed. Pros It allows us to save the budget and avoid unnecessary payment for overpriced data abroad for our colleagues. Cons Since we are still migrating from Wandera, can't yet tell.

Review Source DB Derek B.

JP was able to detect all the computers that had log4j files, so that we could mitigate those computers. Pros I liked the implementation, it was very easy. Basically Jamf has it all set up right "out-of-box". Cons The Threats can be hard to create at times, but Jamf Support is very good at helping create them. Often times they will update the threats themselves. Review Source RH Richard H.
