We used Meraki as a stop gap while were looking at Jamf Pro. Jamf Pro seemed more user friendly and the portal was easy for our technicians to use.

App deployment was more simple and easy to implement. The options for managing devices on offer with Jamf Pro also helped make the decision to go with Jamf.

Did implementation of Jamf Pro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Jamf Pro again?

Before Jamf Pro was implemented we had to manually image each device separately. This would sometimes cause inconsistency between devices. With Jamf Pro this was immediately rectified as it is allow managed within the portal and remotely deployed to devices once they have connected with Jamf Pro.

Apple security updates have always bee a issue to deploy to devices remotely. Jamf Pro has only recently added their own way off managing this through the portal. However before this using the accessibility of Apple devices Jamf Pro offers there are many options to implement that help manage the deployment of updates.
