JAMF Server
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can easily manage iPads and MacBooks for my district using JAMF. I also appreciate the training provided by the JAMF program.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to change. I find it easy to use, even though I do not have a true technical background.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pushing and pulling paid apps to managed devices, setting home screens, folders, etc.
One of the best Apple MDMs
What do you like best about the product?
JAMF Pro is one of the best MDM systems available for specifically managing Apple devices. It is very simple to configure - a competent administrator can watch the JAMF training videos and read the documentation and get started very easily. This is made easier with direct access to a JAMF engineer during the trial period. Our company was able to get a basic working configuration within a a week (although not ready to roll out at that stage!). There are support options available as well as a sizeable helpful online community as well as various training courses.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any enterprise management software there are some product issues and limitations to work around, however there are no show stoppers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company has primarily used JAMF Pro for an initial MDM rollout for compliance purposes, which is important as part of our iSMS and for due diligence processes with customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Prepare for the trial by watching the JAMF 100 and reading all the documentation in advance and utilise the trial period properly to test all your requirements and get the most out of the assigned engineer.

The Best Tool for an Apple Admin
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Jamf is focused on Apple and only Apple. Other MDMs try to do everything and because of that they aren't as strong in certain areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jamf is sometimes slow to adopt new features that are in the MDM scope. I think that has gotten better recently with more frequent updates though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed about 160 Macs and 1000 iOS devices spread out all over North America. We utilize DEP and prestage enrollments so we have a zero-touch deployment. Apple devices ship straight to end users and they set them up, saving us time and money.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it. It's great. It'll make your job easier by automating many tasks and preventing things you might have to otherwise remediate.
Holy Cow I've got you covered
What do you like best about the product?
This is a service that I highly recommend to anyone whom needs to have iOS/MacOS managed at all, I wouldn't recommend anything else
What do you dislike about the product?
not to many things are a pain in Jamf Pro
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we're using it to manage or Mac OS Devices and connect them to AD.
Jamf Pro - Making macOS management easy.
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity at scale. Managing large fleets with a few clicks of a mouse!
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of UI customization. Allowing customization of web interface would be great for re-sellers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Non-app store automated software deployment. Rapid device deployment.
Using Jamf has enable the deploy of new devices to take up considerably less time in my day.

A system that can be beneficial to your environment.
What do you like best about the product?
The product is easy to use, it's not often I have no idea where to look for a feature available in the product. The community is one that is very helpful and knows a lot about the product. A discussion on Jamf Nation will often yield a result in favour of the poster in relation to their question/issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
The release cycle can be a bit slow and although they state they support new versions of OSs as they are released, they often won't have complete support until months later (missing new features often configuration profile options or other options deemed not important enough for zero day release.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows the management of our 200 devices with relative ease. Self Service has been the most useful for our organisation which has cut down our tickets considerably by simply cutting software installation being completed by technicians.
Extremely powerful MDM solution with great support
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use day to day, very up to date.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit overwhelming to get started on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our MDM solution for your iOS and MacOS devices. We like that it's all in one with robust reporting. JAMF does an amazing job of staying up to date on Apple's feature rollouts, so as soon (or almost as soon) as its available in a public release, we can work it into our management.
Jamf is a great tool for managing your IOS devices.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to push apps individual devices, The ability to remotely wipe or lock out lost or stolen devices. Just overall ease of use within the GUI of the software. I like having a cloud option to run the software out of, these eases the burden of having another onsite server to manage. One of my favorite features is being able to push a preferred WIFI profile to my devices so I know they are all of the correct SSID.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being unable to push books to individual devices the same way you can push out apps. This is a particular hurdle for our music department. Renewing all of the certificates every year between JAMF and apple can be a bit of a pain. I wish these could be renewed for 3 years at a time. I have had a few small features get broken when are JAMF was updated. Then I had to wait until a new version was released to resolve a known issue with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a number of iPad's being used in our district and had no control over them. We needed and MDM to be able to stay on top of this. We had apps being purchased more than one time because of lost apple id's or people just not knowing the software was already added onto another device. We were searching for a way to manage these devices without having to physically track them down and touch them every single time they wanted an app installed or needed to be on the wifi.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

New to JAMF
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface for deploying VPP apps to devices
What do you dislike about the product?
Since I've only used JAMF to deploy apps I can't really say there is anything I dislike at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since we are an educational user we are able to make sure that students & teachers are not randomly downloading apps or altering the devices system setup. Using JAMF to manage our products has cut down on the tech time we spent cleaning up what users had done on their apple devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using Jamf Pro has reduced the amount of tech hands-on hours that we spent managing the devices in our district. With one central management system for our Apple Devices we are able to lock down how we want our devices and users to act in our domain.
