User Testimonials
	Jamf Now	Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access
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	Palo Alto Networks Depending on the complexity of your equipment, devices, the network you are with, the size of your company, or the budget you are willing to pay, you should consider buying Prisma. I have in mind that it is a tool to make the leap to extra security for your devices; it is a complex tool that cannot be learned in a single day. Without a doubt, I would recommend her to a company that has a proven track record and knows what it wants. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Palo Alto Networks Complete control and configuration of iOS devices across our network. Great username options in the latest version to help keep our devices organized and easy to manage. Easy to enroll devices to connect to the VPN. 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	Palo Alto Networks It lags a bit on new features It is best used with an entire Palo Alto environment Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Palo Alto Networks The management of connections is much more seamless with the Palo tool. AnyConnect was always a nightmare to get in and manage individual connections to what can and cannot be accessed based on IP addresses. We ended going with the newer methodology of remote access so that our users would be authenticated prior to entering login credentials. 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	Palo Alto Networks It allowed us to pass very strict audits from the world's largest banks. It was easy for our IT department to implement.
