Overall Satisfaction with Jamf Pro
We are in the beginning stages of rolling Jamf out company-wide, but are using it now with all new incoming employee orientations (30/week - every week). We use it to make Self Service available, ease of access to the internet, and hopefully soon - to integrate with Okta for authentication purposes.
The business problems that this resolves/will resolve is the inundation of support tickets for issues logging in, creating a user profile that fits our standards (naming conventions, etc.), and will allow for more accurate asset data collection.

Pros
- Jamf Pro is reliable, stable, and easy to use if you choose to educate yourself - potentially even through JAMF Nation.
- Data reports as to the activity and location of users. This is a strength because it rules out a number of issues that would normally require a Helpdesk tech to be on-site or directly interact with the end user.
- Ease of package application deployment. Being able to package applications and rules for the machines is a pro we're all grateful for in contrasting the past with how we do things now.
Cons
- The UI of Jamf Pro is easy to use if you know where to go. otherwise, the portal is confusing and congested from the settings perspective.
- It would be nice if Jamf could provide an in-portal support window where I/we can chat with someone from Jamf support - who may even be familiar with our setup.
- More support. Not a major presence in our IT department - where we would love Jamf to be a highlight.
- The positive impact here would be that the company takes IT seriously, especially when dropping terms like security, protocols, and activity overwatch.
- A negative impact would be the issues we have with SSO - making logging into Jamf for some users problematic in regard to browser issues.
- An ROI for Jamf Pro would be that our objectives seem more achievable and realistic with thee use of this tool.
- MONKEY
Reputation and ease of use. The fact that a company made something to alleviate stresses in my work day is reason enough to recommend this to anyone who asks.
