Overall Satisfaction with Jamf Pro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's used across the whole organization to get all Macs compliant to security and provide a default set of software. This way, onboarding of users is a breeze.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Manage configuration profiles
Run workflows and report the outcome
Can be used as an CMS very well

Cons

I would like to see script content withint the policy window. This way I won't have to move between different pages to see what it does.

ROI is great. As it saves you so much time once it's all set up. The whole onboarding is automated through JAMF and it's zero touch.
