I initially started using Jamf Protect for telemetry and auditing purposes. However, because we have other DLP products and antivirus in our organization, we have slowly and gradually started using a few more features of Jamf Protect, including DLP, which has made the process much smoother. The earlier process of DLP was quite complex in our environment, but since we started using Jamf Protect, it has become much easier for us to use those features that were very complex before. The first example I can give you is using a third-party USB. Previously, whitelisting the USB in our environment was a significant challenge because we are a large organization with approximately 10,000 Macs. Every now and then, people come to us saying they need a specific USB to work for a client. Since we started using Jamf Protect, that has become quite easy for us to handle. There are other compliance features that we are trying to use. I have just completed my certification with Jamf Protect, so we are trying to implement some compliance features using Jamf Protect. However, as of now, we are using very limited features of Jamf Protect.

Granular telemetry has strengthened compliance and simplified USB control for large Mac fleets
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Jamf Protect offers good telemetry and auditing capabilities. We can use Jamf Protect for auditing purposes and for meeting our minimum compliance requirements. We can also use Jamf Protect for whitelisting USB devices. The one limitation is that you cannot replace the antivirus completely with Jamf Protect, so you cannot consider it as a complete antivirus solution. However, you can use a few features of Jamf Protect.
We use Jamf Protect for telemetry and auditing because we collect telemetry data and hand it over to the security team. Regarding how beneficial it is, the security team has said that the previous application we were using for auditing and telemetry did not provide data that was as granular. I do not audit anything myself because I am in the engineering part. However, the security team has been continuously saying that the data we get from Jamf Protect is quite granular and quite helpful. After using Jamf Protect, they have been able to put many restrictions in place that they previously thought were not necessary. They have come to us asking whether we can implement this feature or that feature into the process. There were many things that we were previously allowing, thinking they would not cause any issues in the environment. However, using the data from Jamf Protect, they came to the conclusion that certain features could be a big issue in the coming days or could be a threat. They have asked us to stop those features on the Mac. I am not sure about the specifics of how they are using the data because there is a specific security team that manages all of these details.
If some other organization is using Jamf Pro, they should definitely go for Jamf Protect. That will streamline many things for them.
What needs improvement?
The first thing I would like to improve is Jamf's technical assessment on any product. When we were talking with Jamf about Jamf Protect features, they were not able to share all the features with us completely at that time. This was the first time I was involved in this type of conversation, and there is an architect in my team who normally takes care of these matters, but he had other things to do, so I was involved. I had to invest a lot of time going back and forth to understand what features of Jamf Protect we could use. I would say that Jamf should come up with a very clear picture of what all features we can use. Since we are an old customer of Jamf, they should be aware that these features are not being used in the environment and they should come to us and tell us how those features can be beneficial for us.
I would just want Jamf Protect to be included in Jamf Pro, the same way compliance and blueprints have been included. I do not want to go into three different portals. For Jamf Connect, I have to go to a different portal. For analytics, there is another portal, radar.vandera.com, which is also related to Jamf Protect analytics. I have to go to that portal for analytics. Jamf Protect and Radar portal are both connected, but I just want them to streamline everything into Jamf Pro so I can use one portal for everything rather than going to three or four different portals.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would say it was good. Initially, we had a few issues when we started our alpha testing on Jamf Protect. For some reason, it was causing a lot of CPU usage. Generally, it should hardly take any CPU usage and must be at zero CPU usage about ninety to ninety-five percent of the time. However, in the alpha phase, we found out that it was taking twenty to thirty percent of CPU usage, and in some of the Macs, it was taking even more than seventy percent of CPU usage. We had a discussion with Jamf about that, and Jamf helped us resolve it. Since then we have conducted two pilot phases and we have not had any issues. The integration was very good. I would not say it was excellent, but it was very good, though not excellent.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service rating is four out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not been working with MetaDefender. I think someone took me wrong in a previous conversation. I have been working with Defender for quite long, about three to three and a half years. However, I have not worked on any Meta products. I have worked with Microsoft Defender, not MetaDefender.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was not complex; it was simple.
What other advice do I have?
Jamf Protect and Radar portal are both connected, and I would just want them to streamline everything into Jamf Pro so I can use one portal for everything rather than going to three or four different portals.
We have a very large number of client-facing Mac users, and we cannot simply put something on their Mac. We have to be very conscious when we start using any security stack in our environment. When we get rid of any security stack in our environment, we need to put it in a very clear picture to the leadership explaining why we are doing it and what impact it will have, as well as how beneficial it will be for the users. We have gotten rid of a few things in the past and it was very difficult for us to remove those applications. That is why using all the features of Jamf Protect instantly in our environment is a bit difficult, but we have slowly and gradually shifted a few things to Jamf Protect. The first thing is using USB. We will obviously include analytics in the coming time, but as of now, we are not using it.
We are using three Jamf products: Jamf Protect, Jamf Connect, and Jamf Pro. I would rate this review an eight out of ten.
Security platform has reduced malware risk and has strengthened compliance for macOS endpoints
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Jamf Protect for four years and have utilized it for Apple assets to protect against threats and suspicious activity.
Jamf Protect provides multiple levels of telemetry collection, allowing me to select how sensitive I want to be on event triggers. Jamf Protect allows me to monitor against specific threat categories aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. In addition to protection, I utilize Jamf Protect to monitor our endpoint compliance with the CIS critical security control baseline.
If the environment is predominantly Apple based, Jamf Protect is a strong solution for providing EDR capabilities to endpoints. The detection capabilities are on par with other leading EDR tools, and it integrates well with Jamf MDM. The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment.
I use Jamf Protect as our main security endpoint for all our macOS devices, which are Apple devices. It was very easy to implement by following Jamf's documentation, and our security team is very happy with how it monitors threats. The compliance feature is also very useful to them, and it constantly helps them monitor and ensure our devices comply with our security policies.

The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment.
Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware. It offers better detection of malware, reducing downtime and risk to our network by approximately 30 to 50 percent. Implementing it is straightforward, although there can be a steep learning curve in general, especially for less technical users. The competitive pricing included in the business package is great, and compliance with our security standards has been maintained.
What needs improvement?
To improve Jamf Protect, I suggest enhancing the end user onboarding user experience, expanding out-of-the-box support for additional SIEMs, and noting that the user interface takes some getting used to. More inline instruction prompts for new admins would also be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for four years and have utilized it for Apple assets to protect against threats and suspicious activity.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Jamf Protect is very stable, and I have not seen any downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Jamf Protect is very scalable, enabling me to manage a large number of devices seamlessly and easily.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is very proactive, helpful, and knowledgeable.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
I switched from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to Jamf Protect because I find that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has the same features; however, Jamf Protect is specifically tailored for managing macOS devices. With Jamf Protect, it is one license that covers all features without requiring additional licenses for features such as USB device control, making it very cost-effective.
How was the initial setup?
It is easy to implement and easy to manage.
It was very easy to implement by following Jamf's documentation, and our security team is very happy with how it monitors threats.
What was our ROI?
The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing have been very effective.
Jamf Protect includes a number of features that other EDR solutions charge additional fees for, such as compliance and device control. It has helped us lower the cost per endpoint compared to other EDR solutions, and it is easy to manage since it is centrally managed with strong integration with Jamf MDM.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated other options before choosing Jamf Protect, specifically CrowdStrike Falcon.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Jamf Protect is that it is easy to manage and offers a separate interface from Jamf MDM, which is beneficial for security operations teams. It allows security teams to manage only the security aspects without having to navigate through all the MDM configurations, saving a lot of time. Additionally, if your environment is predominantly Apple or macOS based, Jamf Protect is a strong solution for providing EDR capabilities to endpoints. I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Advanced macOS detection has improved SOC efficiency and provides faster incident response
What is our primary use case?
Jamf Protect is used in my organization for endpoint threat detection and prevention on macOS environments, specifically for real-time malware detection, behavioral monitoring, and security visibility across managed Apple endpoints for multiple customers integrated with Jamf Pro and SIEM for incident response.
An example of how Jamf Protect is used for real-time malware detection and behavioral monitoring occurred when it detected a suspicious process execution and abnormal file activity on a macOS endpoint. The alert was forwarded to SIEM, and the endpoint was isolated by Jamf Pro, leading to IOC-based remediation that prevented the lateral impact.
Jamf Protect is also used for enforcing endpoint security baselines, monitoring macOS-specific attack techniques, and providing security telemetry to SOC teams for faster investigation and response.
How has it helped my organization?
Jamf Protect has positively impacted my organization by improving macOS security visibility, enabling faster detection and response, reducing manual SOC effort, and providing consistent endpoint protection across multi-customer Apple environments.
The measurable outcomes related to these improvements show a 30 to 40 percent reduction in macOS incident response time, early detection of suspicious activity before user impact, and fewer malware-related escalations due to behavioral blocking. SOC efficiency has also improved through actionable low-noise alerts.
What is most valuable?
The best features that stand out in Jamf Protect include macOS native threat detection using the kernel and user space behavioral analysis, real-time alerting, integration with Jamf Pro with automated response and quarantine actions, and pre-built rule sets that help with macOS threat models and MITRE mapping.
The real-time alert on suspicious process and persistence attempts has helped my team significantly. It triggers immediate SOC visibility, and the automated Jamf Pro action restricts user access and blocks execution, reducing dwell time and avoiding manual endpoint intervention across customer fleets.
Regarding Jamf Protect features, low performance impact and macOS-focused detection are appreciated, though the solution would benefit from more built-in automated response actions within Jamf Protect itself and deeper native integration with third-party SOAR tools.
What needs improvement?
Jamf Protect should have more built-in automated remediation actions, enhanced reporting and long-term analytics, and deeper SOAR and SIEM native integration with more customization in behavioral rule tuning for MSP environments.
Jamf Protect should offer more documentation and simplify alert tuning and policy management UI.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for more than three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Jamf Protect is stable, reliable, and has been functioning well in production across the macOS fleet with low endpoint performance impact and no significant resource issues observed.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Jamf Protect is scalable. I initially had a few customers with macOS but now have more, and it remains stable without encountering issues, allowing me to scale it up to many customers.
How are customer service and support?
I have had good experiences reaching out to Jamf Protect customer support. The technical team is knowledgeable, response times are good, and resolution times are low.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use a different solution before Jamf Protect, as there were not many Apple products in the environment. Now there are many customers with macOS.
What was our ROI?
A return on investment has been realized with Jamf Protect, having saved 30 to 40 percent in time due to faster detection-to-response cycles for macOS indications. Operational efficiency has improved since the manual endpoint triage workload for SOC and infrastructure teams has been reduced, and there have been fewer escalations for manual malware or behavioral threats, thus lowering potential breach costs while the premium is justified by a stronger macOS security posture and SOC efficiency gains.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is not extensive as I am not from the sales team, but I hear from the sales team that it is more costly. However, the setup cost is relatively low due to the deployment effort for macOS fleet through standard setup via Jamf Pro policies and Jamf Protect onboarding, initial tuning, and rule configuration, resulting in fair value for macOS security telemetry and detection. Licensing feels premium in multi-tenant environments.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Jamf Protect, CrowdStrike Falcon for macOS was evaluated.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into Jamf Protect is to start with the pre-built macOS behavioral rule and then tune it for the environment, integrating it with SIEM and SOC workflows for centralized monitoring. I would rate this review as a 9 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Secure access to company sites has protected our devices and now runs quietly in the background
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Jamf Protect at my organization is that we use it for VPN to access company websites through VPN. A specific example of how we use Jamf Protect for VPN access is that my organization uses it to secure the MacBook devices that have been provided to us. When we were signing up for this, we received our laptop devices and with the initial setup, Jamf Protect was configured to avoid breaching any sensitive information.
What is most valuable?
The best features Jamf Protect offers, in my opinion, is that the one we are using currently is excellent for helping secure the devices, but other than that, I do not have any idea of what other features Jamf Protect offers.
I am confident that Jamf Protect has impacted my organization positively because we have been using it for quite a while now. Since I joined this company recently, I have not noticed any security-related changes. Regarding productivity and peace of mind, I do not see much work around this, so I would say that Jamf Protect is doing an excellent job securing the devices.
I can think of having a general sense that Jamf Protect makes me and my team feel more secure because I have not noticed or seen any security-related breaches with me or with any of my other colleagues.
What needs improvement?
Regarding improvements for Jamf Protect, I receive the warnings related to insecure website accesses through mail at a later stage, so if they could be flagged the moment I visit them, that would be great because I would know exactly which website was causing the warnings.
Regarding how Jamf Protect communicates these alerts, I think it is useful as it is now, the way they inform us through emails. However, when I use this office device to access some personal websites, I do not receive any alert at that time and later on in the evening when I am checking my emails, I receive this email from Jamf Protect saying that there was a website I accessed which had a threat level of medium or minor. At that time, I do not know which website caused this, so it would be more helpful if the device itself could flag it at the point when I access the website. Other than that, I think it is still useful because it is mostly company-related activities and there are very few personal websites, so I can still identify the suspects.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect since I joined my last company. We use this for VPNs and VPN connections.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, Jamf Protect is very stable right now, and I have not faced any issues related to it to date.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe Jamf Protect's scalability is effective because we have been using it in our organization since the start, and our numbers have recently risen by a large amount, so we are still using it.
How are customer service and support?
I have not faced any issues with Jamf Protect, so I have no feedback on customer support from my or my team's experience.
How was the initial setup?
A specific example of how we use Jamf Protect for VPN access is that my organization uses it to secure the MacBook devices that have been provided to us. When we were signing up for this, we received our laptop devices and with the initial setup, Jamf Protect was configured to avoid breaching any sensitive information.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into using Jamf Protect is that it is an excellent tool to use to secure your devices, so I would recommend moving forward with it.
I give Jamf Protect a rating of eight out of ten. I gave it an eight out of ten because it is working behind the scenes, and I do not have any data as a client, so that might be related to authorization accesses since I am just a Level 3 employee at my company. The senior folks or the security folks might be having more detailed access to that, and apart from that, the shortcoming regarding the warnings received through emails is another point. Regarding our relationship with this vendor, my company is just a customer, and we do not have a business relationship other than that. My overall review rating for Jamf Protect is eight out of ten.
Experience agile user-centric security with AI-powered endpoint protection
What is our primary use case?
I use Jamf Protect for myself, especially for POC demonstration purposes. It is also used as part of our consultation services, where I recommend it to customers.
How has it helped my organization?
Jamf Protect gives you Apple built-in native support for endpoint security. It supports zero-day protection in the Apple ecosystem and is agile, user-centric, and lightweight for macOS.
What is most valuable?
The behavioral detection is valuable. It also includes built-in network protection that is powered by our AI called Medium. It provides telemetry and signature-based detection, which offer comprehensive endpoint security.
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for the last four years.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good and proactive. That said, it can be improved. There is some scope to enhance the response and resolution time. From an Indian perspective, I would rate their support at seven point five out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have an understanding of CrowdStrike and certain security solutions from Forcepoint.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend inbuilt remediation for behavior-based threats and less dependency on third-party tools.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Effective device management, enhance threat detection and smooth integration
What is our primary use case?
Jamf Protect manages all Apple devices, deploys and upgrades applications, and enforces security features like blocking data transfers and improving security profiles.
How has it helped my organization?
Compliance is ensured through encryption, like with DEP.
Jamf Protect adapted to evolving security threats specific to macOS. We integrated with Microsoft Defender for added protection.
Compared to on-premises solutions, there are a lot of features improved in cloud-based solutions. The performance after implementation is better than with on-premises solutions.
Integration is also easy. Nothing complex about it. I never found any issues with it.
What is most valuable?
Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features.
We can block data transfer and manage other security aspects through profiles.
What needs improvement?
Beginners need initial training and have basic/essential knowledge.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used it for five years. I moved to the cloud version two years ago. Before that, it was on-premises. It was Jamf's own cloud (private cloud).
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are good.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being easy.
Initially, the deployment took 15 days for the pilot phase, and then another 15 days for production. However, the actual deployment itself only took 15 days, as it was preconfigured.
So it took around one month in total. Stakeholder approval caused a delay, but the actual deployment for the facility department was only 15 days.
No maintenance is required because everything is associated. It's a cloud solution, so we only need to modify applications for the services.
So, 99.9% of the time, it's working fine.
What was our ROI?
There are many financial benefits because everything is managed in a single cloud for Apple devices, with no need for third-party software.
What other advice do I have?
Everything is working well for me; it also supports single sign-on. Jamf Protect is very good and excellent.
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. I would recommend it to other users. Beginners should have basic knowledge. If they have normal, basic knowledge, they can use the resources provided with the solution.
Searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and monitors the network for security
What is our primary use case?
Our customers use Jamf Protect for security purposes.
What is most valuable?
Jamf Protect provides zero-touch integration, and we can add various IdPs for synchronization or authentication.The most effective feature of the solution for security needs is that users can create a zero-touch environment network access and VPN access. Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.
What needs improvement?
The solution’s stability could be improved. We need to regularly update the security patches for malware protection and threat protection. Jamf Protect should be integrated with third-party malware solutions or threat protection services.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for 2 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution a seven out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
More than 10 to 15 enterprise business customers use Jamf Protect.
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for scalability.
How was the initial setup?
On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a seven out of ten.
What about the implementation team?
Deploying the solution for testing does not take more than two to three hours. However, deploying the solution in a production environment may take a day or two. The basic part of deployment is the configuration, and then we use Jamf Pro to deploy the package of Jamf Protect.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Jamf Protect is an expensive solution. Customers need to pay additional costs for Jamf Protect's on-ground support.
On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution’s pricing ten out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
We are working with the latest version of the solution. Our customers utilize Jamf Protect only in the Mac environment. Customers should get a MacBook before installing Jamf Protect. Jamf Protect is the ideal solution for Mac because it is deeply integrated with Apple devices and is aware of bugs.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Allows users to easily monitor miscellaneous activities occurring in their environments
What is our primary use case?
Jamf Protect is basically an endpoint solution for any external drives since it can detect any kind of malware attacks or any miscellaneous activities that occur through a device. If someone is trying to take out the data without permission, the tool also detects that.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are in terms of data, especially whenever someone is trying to take out some data or trying to do any miscellaneous activities, which are areas that Jamf Protect easily catches. The aforementioned area consists of the tool's most useful and important feature.
An important point associated with the product is in the area related to the external drives, and it can be considered as an additional feature that most corporations need nowadays.
What needs improvement?
The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required. It would be good if Jamf Protect could be integrated with Jamf Pro and used as a single solution.
There are a couple of improvements where there is a need to change a few things. There are also a couple of things that need to be removed and merged into the main tool, Jamf Pro.
The solution's technical team needs to improve because somewhere I felt from my personal experience that unless Jamf's team puts in an effort to understand the requirements of its customers, help can't be provided. The help provided by Jamf's team is on the basis of what they know, so I feel that they need to put a bit of effort into understanding what customers expect from the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a great and stable solution. As long as your product is good, you can achieve what you are trying to do. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is definitely a scalable solution. It should be a mandatory solution for any organization using Mac devices.
Around 350 people in my company use the product.
My company plans to increase the usage of the solution. In the future, my organization plans to make Mac devices available to users, so we may probably add a few more licenses from Jamf Protect.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical team has to be a bit aggressive from a support perspective. The solution's technical team needs to pay keen attention to the support part.
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps. If you have Jamf Pro in your environment, you don't have to do any migration. If you buy Jamf Protect separately, it can be installed very quickly and doesn't take much time.
The solution can be deployed if you are using Jamf Pro. I don't think that you need something else apart from Jamf Pro to deploy Jamf Protect.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have also evaluated other solutions, but Jamf Protect is the best solution for Mac management.
What other advice do I have?
Apart from Jamf Protect one doesn't need any other security tool. If you have a tool already in your existing premises then such a product can be integrated with Jamf Protect.
I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. Users should try to first be on Jamf Pro and then move to Jamf Protect. Experience with Jamf Pro is mandatory.
The product's benefit is simple since it allows users to monitor everything related to miscellaneous activities, as well as the existing external drives that someone puts into the environment. The tool can also help monitor if someone is trying to take out some data through any means you can monitor with this solution.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
User-friendly dashboard that helps protect staff computers from malware and antivirus
What is most valuable?
We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus.
What needs improvement?
Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for one year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am satisfied with the solution’s scalability and performance.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Norton Antivirus, and it wasn't efficient at all. I previously used Workspace ONE. The only advantage of Workspace ONE over Jamf Protect is that it supports a wide range of devices, including Mac and Windows.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before.
What other advice do I have?
Jamf Protect automatically detects computer malware and prevents the user from running it. It also removes the malware completely from the computers, and we got notified about it. We can set the benchmark based on the school's preferences. The solution's automated MAC-specific threat hunting gives us more security on the computer.
The solution's dashboard is user-friendly. We are working to set up the benchmark based on the school preferences. Sometimes, we need to modify them based on any updates related to the security level we want to apply. Jamf Protect provides good protection from the user's perspective and is easy to manage from the admin's perspective. We used other platforms before, and they did not provide good malware detection.
I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate Jamf Protect a nine out of ten.
Along with a good interface, the tool offers great technical support team
What is our primary use case?
I use Jamf Protect in my company to deal with the area around local account setup, specifically in terms of password synchronization.
The use cases related to the product are pretty straightforward because if you don't need an LDAP account setup in your organization and prefer to deal in the area around local account management, then Jamf Protect is a suitable solution. Jamf Connect is the only solution that offers password synchronization and gives a notification every 90 days, and then the synchronization will happen to the FileVault on macOS.
How has it helped my organization?
From the improvement and enhancement perspective, the product's users need not think of or worry about the area around password synchronization since it is taken care of automatically, because of which users don't have to think about updating the password every time they change it. Jamf Connect will eventually take the part where a user has made changes to the password and help with the area of password synchronization so that they don't face any sign-in issues because of the change in the password. The tool helps avoid problems that crop up because of the earlier lack of password synchronization, which was a big task for many users in the past.
What is most valuable?
The notification feature of the product, with the help of which the tool sends notifications to the user every ninety days, asking to take care of the password update that needs to be done. Additionally, the tool gives the password expiration time and information about the local account, such as whether there has been an update or if it is a standard one. The availability of all the information under one umbrella helps the tool provide more value.
What needs improvement?
The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch. If Jamf Protect offers support immediately and ensures to offer zero-day support, then it can be an achievement.
In the future release of the product, I would want the tool to have a little bit of account-related capabilities. If a firewall gets enabled in an account, the information from such enablement would eventually solve the purpose of the administrators in terms of how they can use the solution to manage the accounts.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Jamf Protect for more than two years. My company is a customer and partner of Jamf Protect. Before the acquisition, Jamf Protect was known as NoMAD.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
