Monitoring access to applications creates complications for users and IT alike.

Anywhere with under 100 Apple devices, I would recommend this service. It was always so simple to add a device you recently purchased to your inventory and be able to check in on it anytime. If they had more than 100, I would recommend Jamf Pro, the enterprise version of this software.

• security: it allows remote wipe of a device
• compartmentalization: when xenmobile is on the device, it can setup its own client, or have a set portion of the local mail client.
• mobile support: with a web-based admin portal, no software needs to be setup on a PC to admin remotely [good for on-call techs]

• Centralized inventory tracking.
• The ability to push apps to devices.
• Enhanced security by way of specific policies.

The software's usability is what we expected. We knew what our organization needed and Citrix was able to meet our needs. The ability to have the apps on a mobile device has been a great plus and Citrix seems to have really developed a software based on the every day needs of the user.

Working in an environment with just macOS devices, Jamf Now is a great option. With Jamf Now, you get details with configurations that get down to the fine details of each device. Without Jamf Now, it would be a much bigger headache managing our Apple devices. Overall, this application makes our jobs much easier.

Overall the support from the customer service team has been good. They are very timely and expert in resolving the tickets. They have appropriate knowledge to resolve issues in all stages to development. They were up to the point during the implementation stage of the XenMobile, all queries were answered in time to help finish the deployment. The support for last three years has been extraordinary in helping us use XenMobile effectively and efficiently.

No body is perfect and occasionally, but rare, it take a little bit to get a reply on the chat, but overall as compared to other chat sessions it is pretty responsive and fairly quick. They allow you to upload a screen shot if that helps and to reply with solutions via email so I have it as a reference in writing for future problems.

Because of its flexible configuration, XenMobile was a much better fit for us. ZixOne was a reliable, functional MDM product but only functioned in a sandboxed environment. Despite being sandboxed, it was able to push contacts into the native app; however, it could not do the same with calendar data which was where our providers had the biggest heartburn. They could handle segregation of email but did not like having to review two separate calendar applications.

Jamf was easier to get started and set up, unfortunately since I also have a number of Android Tablets, I had to get IBM MaaS360 to manage them. I also prefer not having to pay for the whole year in advance for the tables as I have been working for about 3 months to get the Android tablets set up with MaaS360 but had to pay for all of them in advance and only have about half of them set up. Our Android tablets are in trucks on the road as part of their ELD's so I can only catch one when that truck is in for maintenance, but I still had to pay for the year in advance. Jamf makes it very nice as I just pay as I add a unit to the system.

• It provided more safer environment to access corporate emails on personal device. This reduced costs for VPN and access control measures.
• Most features are compliant with organizational security features, this reduced costs in third party vendor softwares.
• Web based admin control portal is very efficient, there is no need to install desktop client for admin control. This saved a lot of time during initial deployment.

• One IT employee is able to manage 30 devices with ease.
• The price that we pay for Jamf Now is very reasonable, especially for the time it saves.
• IT can now concentrate on other tasks that time could be better spent on.
