The deployment process for Jamf Pro involves several steps, from initial preparation to completion. First, it's crucial to assess the client's specific needs and advantages of the product.

What other advice do I have?
Jamf Pro offers firewall encryption and Palo Alto integration. The most important feature is the ability for customers to update their applications without manually deploying updates across platforms. Jamf Pro includes App Installers, a feature that automatically updates and deploys applications. This automation is crucial for maintaining up-to-date software. Additionally, Zero-Touch Deployment is significant because it eliminates the need for manual integration, simplifying the setup process. Proactive customer support is also an essential feature.
Many customers rely on third-party applications for various tasks. For instance, they often use Microsoft Defender to protect against external threats. We deploy such applications using Jamf Pro through packages and configuration profiles to efficiently enforce compliance standards across all users remotely.
All documentation available from Jamf Pro is accessible for customers to learn from.
Jamf Pro supports Apple devices. If you intend to use Genesys or upload feature-rich applications, you should use Apple devices.
Unlike many other MDM solutions, it excels in communicating with the App Store. It uses robust communication protocols, including IP and server connections, and leverages Apple services for user management. This high level of connectivity ensures that most devices can communicate with the Jamf server, enhancing the overall user experience. For instance, it integrates with Active Directory, providing a solid solution for organizations leveraging this technology
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Great tool for Apple device management
Jamf Connect is outstanding for our organization.
Jamf Pro - a well equipped tool to manage Apple devices.
As compared to Intune or any other cloud tool, Jamf Pro is the best one to manage macOS, iOS and iPadOS.
There is no compatibility issue in between Jamf and Apple devices because this tool is meant specifically to manage Apple products.
Custom features and options can be pushed to the devices seamlessly.
Onboard and wipe out of the devices are quite easy and seamless as compared to Intune.
Therefore, for an organisation using only Apple devices will have cost benefit else to manage other OS platform like Windows or Linux, there will be an extra cost to buy anotherendpoint management tool.
