Overall Satisfaction with Jamf School

Our organization uses Jamf School for assigning iPads and MacBooks to teachers and students. We also use it to choose which app each device gets based on what groups or classes they are assigned in Jamf School. By assigning devices to specific people we are able to track the device if ever lost and limit what can be added or removed from specific devices.

Pros

  • Device Management
  • App Management
  • Loss Prevention

Cons

  • Steep learning curve
  • Cannot track MacBook locations
  • Unassigning and Reassigning devices when changing SNs from repairs is complicated
  • Much simpler device management
  • Cost Saver
  • More productivity because of less down time
For the most part, Jamf School does everything it is programmed to do. However, there are a few instances where we have run into snags. This is to be expected with any software though and working customer support has always been helpful. Customer support does their best to help with each scenario we've had issues with.
Jamf School works much better for our needs than the other programs listed. We originally used Jamf Pro, but being in a school setting it did not provide all the support we needed. Thankfully, Jamf recognized this need and created Jamf School. We have since been using it and it has helped our productivity and management tremendously.

Jamf school is amazing at device management as far as tracking devices, installing apps, removing apps, pushing out updates, and putting persons in specific groups or classes based on the needs of the student/teacher. There could be improvement in the instance where you send an iPad for repair and it returns with a new SN and you have to swap out the license from one SN to another.
