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.

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.
Robust Interface for managing Mobile Devices
What do you like best about the product?
I like that when JAMF makes updates/improvements that they still keep the general look of the website the same. There are lots of ways to setup and customize your experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
We did have one issue when the JAMF dashboard updated, but it was quickly resolved in a few days. Customer support is super prompt, easy to understand, and does multiple follow-ups to make sure you are taken care of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped us manage our iPads in our school to make sure that they do not get lost. It has also allowed us to easily deploy apps and create settings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take the time to do an online training and configure your mobile devices just like you would an Active Directory. Use support - they are very helpful!!!
A great solution for schools
What do you like best about the product?
The sheer amount of customization available and it can be built around what makes sense for your organization as opposed to a cookie cutter approach.
What do you dislike about the product?
While JAMF likes to update their software as soon as possible, there have been a few times they have rushed to update resulting in issues that can take a few days to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have to touch each and every iPad or enter Apple ID passwords. Teachers and librarians have the ability to manage their own devices, and wipe them at the end of the year so they are fresh with the same software for the new year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a lot more complicated than you may think to set up. So before doing anything, think of how you would like to ideally like to manage your devices and create a step by step plan, and then discuss it with the person who will help you set up so you are both on the same page.
Love the ease of use of this system.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of finding devices and controlling them in the portal.
What do you dislike about the product?
not having granularity in permissions. Would like to see more levels and customization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use them primarily for our ipad management to push applications so they dont lock to one apple id.

Security patching
Jamf Review
What do you like best about the product?
jamf has a new look and features that make it easier for new users get started and be productive. Driven from extensive user feedback and testing, Jamf is equipped with breadcrumbs, collapsible navigation and context-aware warnings so IT administrators know what to do next and why.
What do you dislike about the product?
Little tough for less technical users. Also, product requires jump start installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pushing code42 to thousands of devices, likewise removing other applications in bulk
Simplified, powerful management
What do you like best about the product?
Jamf has been a game changer for our Mac and iOS administration. Compared to our SCCM management of Windows, we have a much higher level of confidence in our ability to determine what is occurring on our Mac endpoints, in the success (or failure) of our software deployments and updates, and in our security compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest, the price has continued to be an issue; we pay it because it’s necessary. Also, given that our FileVault verification is stored in Jamf, we are stuck either losing historical encryption data for audit purposes or paying for extra licenses to maintain endpoint records. This only further exacerbates the cost concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to keep our payroll positions for Mac support and admin at a minimum because of the simplicity and power that Jamf provides. Our Mac admin has been able to fully manage our Mac fleet from imaging on through the lifecycle AND pick up other significant responsibilities because Jamf takes care to f so much of his work for him.
The Only Way to Manage Apple Devices
What do you like best about the product?
We like being able to apply restrictions and make software available to large groups or even individual users from our desk.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only things we dislike are Apple-imposed limitations and have nothing to do with Jamf Pro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have 3,000+ iPads and 300+ MacBook Pro laptops. We are able to manage all of these devices with a staff of only four people. This would be impossible to do manually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jamf Pro is an absolute must for anyone with a large number of Apple Devices.
Simplicity, great MDM management for Apple devices.
What do you like best about the product?
Imaging, Remote management, and having the ability to setup policy's to deploy applications and scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of management logs from JSS web, this was a past feature that was removed but was a very useful feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time saving
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An all in one solution for Apple devices.
