Jamf Pro

We use Jamf Pro as our mobile device management (MDM) for all our staff and student, macOS and iOS devices at the university.

We have used it now for over 10 years. It has help us to efficiently deploy devices to students labs, staff offices and student loan equipment.

Using Jamf Pro we are able to configure our devices down to the smallest details. This helps us mange our devices to meat all our IT policies.

• General device managment

Jamf Pro is our only MDM. and it helps me run three different buildings and all of their devices. We are a CHARTER SCHOOL in Decatur IL. [...]. We have almost 500 devices and 3 locations and being able to do all of the things we can from one location is a benefit.

We utilize Jamf Pro to manage a fleet of 150 Macs and around 100 iPads. We also use it to remotely deploy software and printers. It is essential in standardizing configuration and software across all the computers and devices, with different configurations for staff and students. It's also been important in deploying Jamf Connect to allow JIT account creation without having to bind to Active Directory.

• Remote Management
• Automated device enrollment and PreStage Enrollments
• Self Service
• Remote Software distribution

• Ability to see users on iPads and alert them to when devices are overdue, as well as locking them has been impactful for making sure that devices are available for patrons. This has meant that our supply of iPads fits the needs of students and are available for checkout.
• We have used Jamf Pro to lock laptops and iPads to disable use of the computer/device and to force the return of the item, this saving the cost of replacement in many cases.
• Staff have not had any complaints about the use of Self Service or the issue of having computers that are remotely managed. Staff are all aware that the computers and iPads are remotely managed, but the management is unobtrusive.
• Lastly, the ability to control when end users upgrade the system operating system means the ability to schedule end user downtime, and less lost productivity.

When I first started with The Art of Education, I was a contractor and they were using a very basic MDM solution. It had been set up poorly and was not meeting their needs. I lobbied for change and we made the switch to Jamf Pro. It was 100% worth it! Our options went from almost zero to hero overnight. Jamf Pro has allowed us to continuously improve our device management, and meet an ever-growing need. From custom shell scripts to customized profiles, extension attributes for reporting, and a well-supported API. Anytime I've hit a brick wall, Jamf support has been there to assist, with chat support, email response, or even a Zoom meeting to help me find the right answers. If you're looking for your next MDM solution, you can't go wrong with Jamf Pro.

• Integration with Jamf Protect/Connect for security and SSO.
• Insight into inventory.
• A maintained API for integrating other solutions.

• The switch to Jamf Pro made a huge impact on our ability to deliver apps to devices.
• Jamf Pro has helped us to improve the security of our fleet.
• It has improved our ability to understand the state of devices for inventory control.

As a busy design studio, we don't have a dedicated IT person to manage our Macs. As a former Apple Genius, I saw how helpful having a mobile device manager could be. Although it was a little tricky to set up, once I went through the training, it was invaluable for me to manage our Macs—especially now that we are working in a hybrid mode after the COVID shutdowns. It's been so successful that we're expanding Jamf Pro to our other offices worldwide. The support is great, too. I highly recommend it. We're also rolling out Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect. We've tried other protects, and they don't work as well.

• Links to our Apple Business Manager
• You can set up "one touch" deployment which saves a lot of time
• It's made for Apple products, but you can use it on PCs

• It is great for pushing out OS updates and new software, it saves so much time
• During COVID it made it so easy to enforce updates and add new software
• Some of the software made for Windows and Macs is difficult to deploy
