Very configurable. Easy support. Cons You have to pay for on boarding it but I could have done it with just the documentation. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect Worked with our current ecosystem. Review Source JW John W. Sr. Engineer, IT Platform and Infrastructure Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its not perfect (yet)" August 24, 2021 4.0 Pros In a post COVID-19 world, we had to come up with a way to deploy laptops to people and get them logged in off VPN. Jamf Connect has answered that call and made our lives easier. Cons The application can often be buggy and sometimes regardless of the configuration, Jamf Connect misbehaves. These aren't deal breakers, but for a premium product, I expect premium experience. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect Jamf Connect offered the ability to fully customize the login experience to the end-users and brand the experience. other products we looked at tested didn't offer that same level of customization or integration. Review Source JK Joseph K. IT Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Initial setup of connect" August 19, 2021 4.0 Not good as of yet but we are excited to get it working. Pros We tested it and it worked well syncronizing passwords as well as changing passwords externally but we are having an issue setting up with our AD using the authentication method provided. Cons Our set up seems to be different from the norm. We were set loose to figure this authentication from Azure ourselves. Keep in mind our AD configuration of using a child domain is giving up troubles. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect The external syncronizing of the passwords and keychain are key for us.

IT Administrator Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlined provisioning and much happier support techs" September 9, 2021 4.0 Great support and easy to implement, in a company that has frown from 100 to 2000 employees in the past 2 years, this has solved most of our IT problems. Pros This has moved us much closer to zero touch deployment and allowed the majority of our company to work fully remote from all across the US during the covid pandemic. Our IT workflows for onboarding and account provisioning have been forever improved. Cons Patch management can be a little confusing and we will be limited if we ever need to add Windows ir Android machines to our environment Reason for choosing Jamf Connect we were already using Jamf Pro and familiar with the product, we've been very happy with the support and the price we were quoted. Review Source CW Chris W. Systems Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The missing piece" August 19, 2021 5.0 Thanks to Active Directory we struggled for years to reach a zero touch deployment model. Jamf Connect solved this within the span of an afternoon. We're now able to hand an employee a brand new, unopened, Mac and trust that they'll be able to power it on and be logged in within a few minutes. Pros Jamf Connect is very easy to deploy, within a few hours we had a usable POC in use. They've made an effort to allow branding and shaping of the user experience within Jamf Connect and it shows. No more headaches stemming from binding to ActiveDirectory. Cons The end user experience takes a bit to get used to, new users frequently complain about having to enter their password three times (FileVault pre-boot screen, Jamf Connect MS Azure prompt, and again to their local account) when they restart their Macs. Review Source AG Alex G. Systems Engineer Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential for Zero Touch deployment" August 19, 2021 4.0 I'll reiterate here again, the user provisioning during our zero touch deployment process is incredible. Being able to automatically create the account on the mac and pull all essential user info like name, email, department, building etc.. and make the admins based on dynamic groups is a total game changer. Pros The user provisioning feature is the most important for us. We use it for automatic account creation based on user's Azure AD accounts. Cons It's unfortunate that user's are prompted to enter their password twice during initial provisioning, unless you're using Okta as the IdP. Review Source CD Carlos D. Operating Systems Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jamf Connect for Government" August 19, 2021 5.0 We are actually purchasing more Jamf Connect licenses in order to onboard all devices with Jamf Connect. One task I see coming up soon is converting mobile accounts to Jamf Connect accounts. Pros What I like most about this product are two things: 1) Jamf Connect creating the user account rather than creating a local account. 2) Password staying in sync with Azure credentials. Cons Very minimal cons. Having to log on 3 times can be a bit annoying (FileVault, Azure, Local login). Reason for choosing Jamf Connect Not applicable Review Source GS Gareth S. Head of IT Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfectly Marries Okta and JamfPro" September 9, 2021 5.0 Pros At the end of the day, it just works. We utilize Okta and Jamf to create a touchless deployment and SSO experience for our end users. They can open their new Mac directly from the factory and be logged in within 15 minutes. Cons Since it basically requires JamfPro to function, it's expensive. Would love to see additional discounts across multiple SKUs. It also requires some real technical expertise to fully deploy. Review Source CS Corey S. System Administrator Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jamf Connect Rocks" August 19, 2021 5.0 Overall I’ve been pretty satisfied with Jamf Connect. It was easy to get up and running and it solved a problem of managing user accounts on a Mac. Pros I love that I don’t have to mess with domain joining a Mac and I have the ability to shut off account access to a computer or password reset now that everyone is remote. Cons Doesn’t seem to notify users very well when their password is expiring. Review Source WT Wakefield T. Senior IT Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jamf Connect review" September 21, 2021 4.0 Its been a good experience thus far. We still have a few more projects related to Jamf Connect brewing. Specifically, deploying Jamf connect to computers already enrolled in our environment. Pros I came on board shortly after the deployment of Jamf connect and it has made a big impact on our touchless enrollment. The Okta integration was convenient Cons Somewhat difficult to configure and the guide could have done a better job explaining some of the functionality. Specifically, I would have liked to see better documentation around FileVault workflows. I found myself digging around other sites to get information that I felt should have been in the documentation. Review Source MH Mark H. Sr Mac Technologies Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good, reliable pripoduct" August 19, 2021 5.0 Jamf Connect fully covers our business needs. Great product, easy to configure and implement Pros \- Easy to setup and implement - Zero-day macOS releases support - Good integration with Jamf Pro Cons \- More customized functionality - Setup and customization should be integrated to Jamf Pro web interface Review Source RL Robert L. Technology Support Professional Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jamf Connect" September 13, 2021 5.0 Pros The integrating and reliability is by far better than directory binding. Cons Single-Sign-on for Microsoft 365 and Adobe products. No sign out button when the computer is locked. Review Source TZ Temo Z. Systems Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jamf Connect, Oh" August 19, 2021 4.0 Pros I like the setup and functions available. Makes things a lot easier Cons Some integration is touch and go, but it constantly getting better. Review Source VB Victor B. Digital Operations Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seamless SSO setup with a caveat" September 12, 2025 4.0 Overall, a great experience for those that want a one-off onboarding solution without the hassle of constantly updating SSO certificates. Pros End users can easily and seamless access their devices with little to no guidance once the initial setup is done, which is amazing, especially during certification renewal process Cons The enrollment process can be cumbersome, especially, if you need to later on release a machine, it can't be easily done without fully erasing it, otherwise, you still get a few residual files and configurations Alternatives considered [Jamf Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/164492/Jamf-Pro/)[Atera](https://www.capterra.com/p/144309/Atera/) Reason for choosing Jamf Connect It was the most robust and complete option out there, especially in the Apple's ecosystem Review Source EB Emmanuel B. Senior Endpoint Engineer Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jamf Connect enables macOS corporate logins with ease" April 11, 2025 5.0 Jamf Connect has enabled seamless experiences for our users with Entra ID login, easy mounting of file shares, etc. It enables macOS devices to interface with a modern Endpoint environment with ease. Pros Enabling Entra ID login for macOS, enabling users to have a consistent experience with one account. Cons Can be a little bit fiddly to set up, and there is a learning curve, but it's absolutely manageable. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect Jamf Connect is essentially the corporate version of Nomad Login, so was a logical choice for us. Review Source 🏥 Eric �. Apple Infrastructure Architect Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlining account creation and login" August 26, 2021 5.0 Pros Our users simply open the sealed box, and after the traditional setup, are prompted to enter their IDP Credentials. Now their local account and password matches what is in the IDP. If the user changes their password somewhere other than their Mac, Jamf Connect detects and remediates the change on their Mac too. If your org requires FileVault 2 encryption to be enabled, Jamf Connect and ensure the device is encrypted, with the key being escrowed, before any user has created their account. Cons While Jamf only supports Apple Devices, our Windows users get jealous of the speed in which we can deploy and provision Macs to our users. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Technology Support Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mac Password Sync Solution" August 19, 2021 4.0 Well, it's not completely rolled out to all of our Macs yet, because we need to figure out a solution for pushing out our 802.1x wireless profile to devices for machine authentication. For the devices we are testing on, the software works well and helps to eliminate password sync issues. Pros It was becoming obvious that binding Macs to AD was no longer best practice. We needed a solution to keep passwords in sync and Jamf Connect does that perfectly. We also like the ability to customize the login screen and allow users to login via SSO. Cons I thought the implementation was a bit difficult, and we could have used additional time with an expert in order to get things up and running. I wish users could be admins on their own Macs without having admin access to all Mac devices. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect The only other product I was aware of was Nomad, which was purchased by Jamf. We are a Jamf Pro customer, so it made sense to go with Jamf Connect. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Expensive but great product" February 16, 2023 4.0 All in All the product fits well within your company if you have chosen the right applications to integrate with that. Pros The easy management of the product is absolutely one of the best advantages of the product. Cons Compared to other solutions it was a little more expensive, but if you want great software with professional support it will be worth the money. Alternatives considered [Iru](https://www.capterra.com/p/181954/Iru/) Review Source KM Kevin M. Sr Technical Admin Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not the best for AD environment" September 9, 2021 4.0 fair, I like the ability to control logins and have hands free deployment but this really is only useful for new Mac deployments. I did not even try to move a user to a new Mac, not sure how that would work Pros The ability to use hands off deployment to new users Cons I had issues with passwords in my testing. We us AD accounts to access our Mac computers. When Jamf connect setups on a machine that already has and AD mobile account, it makes it local, this does something that when the user changes their ad password the connection between Jamf connect and the Mac will not allow the password to be updated. I had a support ticket and we were unable to resolve this issue. Also, when running updates on a computer the updates do not complete until Jamf Connect has authenticated. I would start updates on Friday, come in on Monday, sign into Jamf Connect, then have to wait 15 minutes for the update to complete. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect We use Jamf Pro to manage our Mac inventory and wanted to have ease of compatibility Review Source Gabriel M. Technical Support - Mac Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jamf Connect is great for anyone that implements Macs in there environment" August 19, 2021 4.0 We love Jamf and Jamf Connect, you do have someone that walks you through in setting it up and its a great product. Pros Jamf connect is great for anyone in a Mac in your environment. It is easy to setup when you have Jamf, but it great for any MDM. Fixes Keychain issues and implement a modern way of authenticating onto the Mac. Cons It is a bit pricey but if you have an education it does come with a discount. You will also need time to test and setup. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tech Advisor Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Jamf on Macs" March 28, 2024 4.0 Pros Jamf allows us to control access and Single Sign On on our Mac machines. Previous products did not allow the access controls we have with Jamf and we had lots of "rogue machines". Cons The enrollment process was a bit clunky and users struggled initially. Now that it has been deployed for a while users have adjusted. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Statewide Endpoint Technologies Analyst II Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Azure Authentication for Mac" September 9, 2021 5.0 Pros Easy to configure and deploy, especially in conjunction with Jamf Pro. Cons One limitation, which is a flaw in all products in this realm, is that they can not authenticate to enterprise level networks at the login screen without a workaround. There are workarounds, but this is a flaw in macOS. Review Source Gilbert P. Senior Endpoint Engineer Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "If you are managing macOS endpoints in your environment, then JAMF Connect is a no brainer." September 9, 2021 5.0 JAMF will connect you with an engineer who will walk you through the configuration and installation of the product and will be able to answer any questions. The support for any JAMF product is overwhelming and they have an amazing community. Pros JAMF Connect is easy to set up when you are using JAMF for your MDM. It resolves Keychain and password syncing issues. It also helps by implementing a modern way of authenticating into your macOS environment. Cons It's a bit pricey, especially if you are in Enterprise. You can do the majority of the things in JAMF Connect, with its free counterpart NomAD. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect Jamf Connect is a product made by the same engineer that made NomAD, after JAMF acquired NomAD, JAMF Connect became their enterprise solution. The main reason for going with JAMF Connect vs NomAD was mostly the support. We are Enterprise and we need to have certain levels of support when it comes to the software that helps us manage our fleet. Review Source ME Michael E. Tech Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Jamf Connect in Education " August 19, 2021 5.0 It has been very reliable and was fairly easy for me to setup and build the Configs for (multiple years of JAMF setup and deployment experience not a novice) Pros Easy setup , Reliable, helps with SSO on my mac devices Cons my students and staff have to sign in and then enter their password multiple times to get in and it takes time away from education and instruction. Reason for choosing Jamf Connect I am familiar with most jamf products and services and we currently have JAMFCloud it was an easy jump plus the help desk is second to none. Review Source JD Jennifer D. Lead Service Desk Technician Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Two Thumbs Up!" September 9, 2021 5.0 It's been a breeze Pros Even though I'm not very experienced in Jamf, it is quite simple navigating through the admin portal. Plus your support team has been excellent whenever I run into issues. Cons I wish there could be a broader way to search in the portal.
