Jamf Protect

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Jamf Protect since I joined my last company. We use this for VPNs and VPN connections.

In my experience, Jamf Protect is very stable right now, and I have not faced any issues related to it to date.

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.

I have not faced any issues with Jamf Protect, so I have no feedback on customer support from my or my team's experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The dependency on Jamf Pro  or SIEM  or SOAR  for some automations and integrations could be reduced. In-built automation and remediation of behavior-based threats would be beneficial enhancements.

I have been using it for the last four years.

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.

I have an understanding of CrowdStrike and certain security solutions from Forcepoint.

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.

Jamf Protect manages all Apple devices, deploys and upgrades applications, and enforces security features like blocking data transfers and improving security profiles.

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.

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.

Beginners need initial training and have basic/essential knowledge.

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).

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The customer service and support are good.

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.

There are many financial benefits because everything is managed in a single cloud for Apple devices, with no need for third-party software.

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.

Our customers use Jamf Protect for security purposes.

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.

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.

I have been using Jamf Protect for 2 years.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for stability.

More than 10 to 15 enterprise business customers use Jamf Protect.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for scalability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Jamf Protect for four years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have also evaluated other solutions, but Jamf Protect is the best solution for Mac management.

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.
