Overall Satisfaction with Jamf Pro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Jamf to manage our fleet of MacOS and iOS devices. This is anywhere from MDM to imaging computers. It is the SCCM of the Apple world. It helps us with inventory, software and policy enforcement, and setup consistency. It helps us do much more without having to hire additional employees.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Mobile device management
Deploys software
Manages and secure devices

Cons

The strength that we like the best is imaging. The problem is that Apple is limiting the ability for them to do that going forward.
It would be nice to manage all of our platforms from a single tool.

Return on Investment

The tool allows me to manage Apple without hiring apple specialists
It allows us to be far more efficient in the use of our resources

Alternatives Considered

We selected Jamf based on the recommendation of other universities and the experience of our support personnel in using the tool at other institutions. Previously, we were manually supporting the platform.

Other Software Used

Quick Base, ServiceNow, Humanity

Likelihood to Recommend

We have been very pleased with Jamf Pro and all that it can do. They perform as the market leader and really enable us to manage our Apple platform at an enterprise level. The other universities we have pulled all use Jamf as well. They are well suited for the higher education market.
