Jamf Software, LLC
Well suited for any organization that wants to manage apple products. It's extremely easy to integrate and has many connectors for existing enterprise infrastructure applications. Certificate management is a breeze. Not so suited for smaller businesses that only have 10-20 devices. Jamf has another product called JAMF Now that would suffice for those areas.

Rippling
It might sound repetitive, but Rippling is very intuitive, easy to use, and fill out. It’s not as bureaucratic as many systems, even in 2025, that companies with modern setups still use! So, when I know I need to fill something out in Rippling, I don’t procrastinate or get stressed because it will take up my time. No, it’s super simple and easy for me. Recently, I referred a friend, and it didn’t take 5 minutes, and I can even track the application processI just remembered., the only scenario that’s not very appropriate — and I can’t go into details as I’m not from HR and I’ve only recently joined the company — is that in Brazil, we are entitled by law to 30 days of paid vacation. We can take at least 15 days and sell the remaining days, and Rippling doesn’t fully understand this. I believe the HR director called an employee in Brazil, concerned that she had vacation days to take or something like that. In the end, she resolved it manually and said it was easy, but this would be a good area for improvement.

Pros
Jamf Software, LLC
  • Jamf Pro's Self Service is a great mechanism for making software available to end uses as they need it.
  • Jamf Pro is also great for creating plans called PreStage Enrollments that allow for computers to skip many of the setup screens, as well as automating account creation.
  • Jamf Pro in combination with Apple Automated Device Enrollment (formerly DEP) allows for devices to supervised and managed, this combination allows for locking, remote wipe of devices, and finding locations of devices when put into lost mode.

  • They notify myself and our employees of documentation requests, decisions made on requests they officially make.
  • Rippling handles the onboarding of new employees sending to them the necessary documents to be compliant with the business, state and accrediting agencies. They have direct portal that these items can then be uploaded to. So intuitive and streamlined. Love it.
  • Rippling offers many services and we have taken advantage of several of these. The ability to have one entity that manages so many facets of our business is so helpful. No longer wondering who is responsible for what documentation or what business hours are for someone who handles our HR. Now, it's all in one place and highly efficient.
  • Efficient. It's a word I use a lot when asked about Rippling. They have saved us time, and eliminated our errors which also cost time and money. This is a game changer for us. Not to mention a relief on the nerves.

Cons
Jamf Software, LLC
  • Training options are terrific, but costly.
  • Finding what you need in Jamf Pro can be tough at times. The interface is not what I would call friendly.
  • You'll need static credentials for Jamf Pro. They don't integrate with the Jamf Account, and it doesn't offer 2FA. SSO is an option, but it's not simple to set up.

  • The complex customized report is still a challenge between two departments. Comparison reports still lack across the departments.
  • The icons can be more visualized for better search, otherwise it will take time to go with menus.
  • The alignment in data points should be more accurate and specific with centralized key points according to their menu.
  • The help and reference links should always be their on each page to switch quickly.

We stepped away and are looking at different products that integrate with our entire fleet MDM solution rather than focusing specifically on Apple products. An all in one solution fits our needs better and is more cost-effective in the long run. Jamf Pro needs to improve some features and support but overall its a good product.

Rippling continues to innovate and amaze me with their new innovations and features. Product feedback is taken seriously so I always give it whenever I can and end up seeing results. Rippling is the new wave of HRIS that cannot compare against others in the industry just due to the fact they are super user friendly!

Usability
Jamf Software, LLC
Jamf Pro has done pretty much anything we've needed with little setup headache. If we hit a wall, the Jamf user community and tech support departments both are more than willing to help solve problems. Tech support is excellent, but the surprising thing is the user base is by far the biggest resource. Jamf users love to help each other, by directly chatting about issues, posting best practices, or just posting info on the forums.

As I explained, Rippling is very easy to work with. I can maneuver through the app very easily to find anything I’m looking for. It is a very smooth process for everything. They send alerts and reminders for the things that need to be completed. Rippling is a great tool.

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

The training session was beneficial because it expanded my knowledge about Jamf products and really learn what I am capable of doing with Jamf Pro in terms of managing Apple computers and devices. Immediately after the training course, I was able to implement what I learn to our cloud instance.

Implementation Rating

Migration from an existing MDM requires device wipe and reenroll for full supervision of the device. It's somewhat painful. User enrollment makes things easier, but you miss out on full management.

It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

Even thought we are using this solutions for different purposes (macOS device management VS mobile device management), I think at the end Jamf Pro is more focused or aimed for macOS management, and mobile device management is just a good addition to that. Same I can tell about Ivanty, is more about iOS/Android management rather than macOS

Rippling can be integrated with many tools, but also already includes many of these features so you usually don't need to contract external services to track time or get employers feedback. Anyway feel free to attach many applications that potentially expands the Rippling capabilities making more useful and convenient if needed.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
Jamf Software, LLC
  • Jamf Pro has allowed us to minimize the time it takes to deploy devices. We can use zero-touch deployment methodologies which allow devices to go directly to end users and allow end users to get up and running without needing IT's help.
  • We have implemented both a third-party & macOS patching service, which allows us to ensure all apps and versions of macOS are updated and secure.

  • It has streamlined our onboarding processes removing the need to hire additional staff to handle onboarding.
  • Handles the expense reporting in such a manner that it is easy for a single superior to approve many many expense reports. This does not replace a whole position per se but it does allow the responsibility to be handled at a higher level with less middle management hands needed.
