Overall Satisfaction with Jamf Connect

With Jamf Connect, we are able to register users via Azure AD when a new user gets a new MacBook. In addition, password sync is possible with it and the Macs no longer have to be AD bind. So we don't have trouble with asynchronous local und AD-passwords. We can also activate Filevault when creating the account.
  • password sync works very well
  • regular updates to Jamf Connect with improvements
  • small and simple tool
  • Account creation is now on next level after we don't need AD Bind
  • the Jamf configuration app for the config profiles looks not really Jamf-like
  • Why are under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" in Jamf Pro all possible configuration profiles listed? We have some and I don't think there had to list every!?
  • how the Jamf Connect updates work under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" is very unclear. i.e. for troubleshooting
  • account creation
  • password sync
  • Filevault activation
  • we need more time to understand how Jamf Connect and the configuration "really" works

Jamf Connect is a nice and customizable tool for password change or password sync and account creation during an enrollment process. The configuration is not very easy to understand at the start. Especially if an iDP comes into play and you don't have an idea with Azure or similar services. With Jamf Connect ad bind is dead on macs.
