Overall Satisfaction with Jamf Pro

Our IT dept uses JAMF Pro to manage all Mac computers in use in our company. It is used to apply software, configure settings, lockdown areas that users shouldn't be modifying. We apply our policies this way and administer some of our software licenses. We also use it to maintain a record of our Mac inventory. Occasionally we use it for remote control purposes to fix machines, and frequently to push or remove the software from remote machines.

Pros

  • Maintain a listing of encryption keys.
  • Manage computer and user policies.
  • Push software.

Cons

  • Management console could be laid out better.
  • Improvements could be made to the remote control software.
  • More effective integration with Apple's DEP.
  • Increases speed at which new Macs can be deployed, saving time and resources.
  • It allows for less downtime.
  • Provides a central repository for data RE: Macs.
Although I do not use/support JAMF at the level that requires direct contact with JAMF, I know that when I've presented issues to our overall JAMF administrator, he has been able to get speedy and efficient support from JAMF, directly. I also have always enjoyed the educational opportunities that JAMF provides for IT professionals.

Would you buy Jamf Pro again?

Yes

For large scale environments, JAMF is very effective at maintaining a company's Mac computer. I believe that it is also an effective tool for managing iPads and other Apple devices, though I don't have much experience with that side. If a company has more than 100 Macs, JAMF can make it much easier to manage the environment.

However, if your company is smaller, or doesn't use a lot of Macs, it will likely be more tool than you need.
