Bitwarden vs. Jamf Connect

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

Jamf Connect is a nice and customizable tool for password change or password sync and account creation during an enrollment process. The configuration is not very easy to understand at the start. Especially if an iDP comes into play and you don't have an idea with Azure or similar services. With Jamf Connect ad bind is dead on macs.

• Bitwarden secures company passwords within the organization vault.
• Bitwarden makes entering credentials to different websites a breeze.
• Bitwarden allows us to shares passwords securely within our organization.

• password sync works very well
• regular updates to Jamf Connect with improvements
• small and simple tool
• Account creation is now on next level after we don't need AD Bind

• Sometimes it will not fill in my password and I have to do it manually.
• It does not work as well at filling in passwords on the mobile app.

• the Jamf configuration app for the config profiles looks not really Jamf-like
• Why are under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" in Jamf Pro all possible configuration profiles listed? We have some and I don't think there had to list every!?
• how the Jamf Connect updates work under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" is very unclear. i.e. for troubleshooting

It is almost a certainty that we will continue to use Jamf Connect, even with Apple coming out with Platform Single Sign On. Jamf Connect provides several features that PSSO does not, such as "just in time" local account creation and automatic synchronization of enterprise credentials. It is unlikely that we would investigate other options at this time or in the near future.

Bitwarden is easy to use and has a very straightforward simple interface. Having coverage across multiple platforms is the key to its value to me. Additionally, Bitwarden is consistently rated by third party (PC Magazine, Wired, Tom's Guide, etc.) as one of the best password managers available.

Jamf Connect is quite easy to use and has the necessary options on the login screen (such as WiFi network connection) for getting connected and authenticated. It has a simple to use menulet that allows password changes and resets as well as temporary elevation, all with very clear workflows. It also allows us to assign field staff to their client users' computers so that they can provide support without having to resort to LAPS accounts.

Bitwarden hasn't been hacked and is easy to implement. None of the others can say the same in both aspects.

The only other product we evaluated was Xcreds from TwoCanoes software, which is essentially a one person shop. We already were Jamf Pro customers, and Jamf Connect fulfilled all of the requirements for this function along with providing professional customer support. Since we already had a relationship with Jamf, it made perfect sense to add this product to our toolkit, and keep technical support contained within one organization.

• Saves me time by storing all of my login information. I'm no longer digging through my notes app or having to reset passwords that I've forgotten.
• Stores vendor names, addresses, and W-9's. I don't have to text or email vendor's asking for this info every time I work with them.
• Protects my data by identifying weak or unused passwords. Bitwarden helped me identify multiple weak and reused passwords and I quickly updated them using their built-in password generator.

• we need more time to understand how Jamf Connect and the configuration "really" works
