Jamf School vs. Miradore

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.

Miradore works great for us because it allows our agency to easily and remotely manage all of our iPhones and iPads, including pushing software updates, apps, restrictions, location-tracking, and so forth. It nearly eliminates the need to "put hands on" devices as frequently as I would otherwise need to do as our IT Liaison. Our IT vendor, with their own login credentials, is able to manage our devices or assist me with issues. Customer Support from Miradore has been stellar the entire three years we have had an account. Our IT vendor selected/recommended Miradore for us out of a variety of options, and found them to be the best fit considering price, features, and support; I would have to say they made an excellent choice!

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.

Sometimes it takes time to get a response back. There is a delay in updates to support devices with newest OS.

We originally tried an MDM from Cisco and it did not deliver in useability or features like Jamf

This is the first time we've used an MDM. Our IT vendor researched and selected Miradore over several other options.

• Significantly reduced the time of managing devices on the class or using configurator

Incentivized

• Increased productivity, as it avoids the installation and use of non-corporate apps;
• Increased protection and preservation of the company's information and integrity;
• It allows us to work remotely with company devices and have security.
