Likelihood to Recommend	Jamf Software, LLC 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. Incentivized Logan Wiser IT Director Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Jamf school is amazing at device management as far as tracking devices, installing apps, removing apps, pushing out updates, and putting persons in specific groups or classes based on the needs of the student/teacher. There could be improvement in the instance where you send an iPad for repair and it returns with a new SN and you have to swap out the license from one SN to another. Incentivized BR Bob Rigdon Computer Technician Read full review
Pros	Jamf Software, LLC Resetting passwords remotely.. Locking or wiping a device. Pushing new apps out to all or one iPad. Controlling what apps are installed on the iPads. Steven Nielsen Senior Project Manager Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Concise management Data tracking Instructional tool Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Ricky Jordan Senior Computer Systems Admin Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Steep learning curve Cannot track MacBook locations Unassigning and Reassigning devices when changing SNs from repairs is complicated Incentivized BR Bob Rigdon Computer Technician Read full review
Usability	Jamf Software, LLC 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. Incentivized Ryan Meza Systems Engineer Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC For the most part, Jamf School does everything it is programmed to do. However, there are a few instances where we have run into snags. This is to be expected with any software though and working customer support has always been helpful. Customer support does their best to help with each scenario we've had issues with. Incentivized BR Bob Rigdon Computer Technician Read full review
Support Rating	Jamf Software, LLC 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.

Alternatives Considered	Jamf Software, LLC Ease of use, price point, support, features - are all the reasons why we chose Jamf Now. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC We originally tried an MDM from Cisco and it did not deliver in useability or features like Jamf Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Jamf Software, LLC Low Cost: 2-3 dollars a device for a month was cheaper than the time spent repairing the Mac server. Incentivized Logan Wiser IT Director Read full review	Jamf Software, LLC Significantly reduced the time of managing devices on the class or using configurator Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
