    Chose Jamf Now
    Jamf Now understands Apple devices better because it's designed to manage them. While Intune offers Apple device management, it can be finicky and hard to get details about the device. It really only sits under our umbrella with Intune, but with Jamf Now, we can have much more …

    Chose Jamf Now
    Jamf was easier to get started and set up, unfortunately since I also have a number of Android Tablets, I had to get IBM MaaS360 to manage them. I also prefer not having to pay for the whole year in advance for the tables as I have been working for about 3 months to get the …

    Chose Jamf Now
    This is a directory as a service and doesn't really manage devices like Jamf. But it is more expensive and is more into managing users and devices. Liked it. But for cost and ease of use Jamf definitely wins this one. Also JumpCloud is better suited in my opinion to Windows and …

    Airwatch seemed like it was years behind Jamf's easy to use dashboard interface. The Google Mobile/MDM tools were confusing to set up and weren't very friendly, as Google doesn't want to play nice with Apple's ecosystem and the Google options were lacking. MDM is a very …

    Anywhere with under 100 Apple devices, I would recommend this service. It was always so simple to add a device you recently purchased to your inventory and be able to check in on it anytime. If they had more than 100, I would recommend Jamf Pro, the enterprise version of this software.

    Cons
    Jamf Software, LLC
    • I would like to see some more advanced functions for the iOS supervised mode. Maybe pushing iOS updates? Right now we can only see if it requires an update, but can't schedule an update time, etc.
    • I would like to see Jamf Now work with Apple to allow apps with in-app purchases that can be used with Jamf Now. Right now some apps don't have two versions available in the app store (a full version, and a free version with in-app purchases), so the single version free app with in-app purchases can't be used across our enterprise environment. :(
    • They could do with a better lost device activation lock. Currently, you can only lock a device from being erased and re-setup if you associate an icloud account with it and turn it on to find the lost device.

    Working in an environment with just macOS devices, Jamf Now is a great option. With Jamf Now, you get details with configurations that get down to the fine details of each device. Without Jamf Now, it would be a much bigger headache managing our Apple devices. Overall, this application makes our jobs much easier.

    No body is perfect and occasionally, but rare, it take a little bit to get a reply on the chat, but overall as compared to other chat sessions it is pretty responsive and fairly quick. They allow you to upload a screen shot if that helps and to reply with solutions via email so I have it as a reference in writing for future problems.

    Return on Investment

    • Low Cost: 2-3 dollars a device for a month was cheaper than the time spent repairing the Mac server.
