Our teachers were mind blown when we demonstrated taking all apps away from students except what they allowed. Instant buy in.!! Cons Too simplistic for some work flows.

AU Anonymous User MDM Specialist & Field Technician Education Management ### "Jamf School MDM is a great tool for the price" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 7, 2023 Pros The pricing is relatively low compared to a lot of the competition. That said, the features are pretty full and well rounded. The fact that they have other programs and systems that seamlessly integrate into Jamf School makes it an amazing value. Cons There are still limitations that any MDM has. Those great seamless integrations do add up pretty quickly. I'd have to be really nit-picky to start to list the little things that I would wish were different, so I'll just say it's great, but not perfect.
