How JAMF changed the game
What do you like best about the product?
One of the biggest benefits we gained from JAMF Connect was streamlining the onboarding experience for our users. It allowed us to connect our IDP with a frontend app to validate employee credentials easily. Combined with custom branding, this created a positive experience for both new and existing employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the features I dislike is the system we use for IDP is okta in which the creds in that system our employees are not admins.
So once an employee logs into their systems as and admin and if JAMF connect syncs it would change their account to a local user.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to onboard employees with their newly assigned creds and being able to use these setup in okta to pass through for system log usage.

Simplified login process with enhanced security and improved user management
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Jamf Connect has helped by disabling the network login screen, ensuring users only need to enter their password once, which has made the client very happy. This has greatly improved IT security and user management.
What is most valuable?
Most valuable features of Jamf Connect is its ability to streamline user authentication and identity management for macOS devices. It enables single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, allowing users to log in with their cloud identity credentials (like Azure AD or Okta) instead of traditional local accounts. This not only simplifies the login process but also enhances security by centralizing user management and reducing the risk of password-related issues. Additionally, Jamf Connect supports features like password synchronization and account provisioning, making it easier for IT teams to manage user access across devices.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with Jamf Connect for less than eight years. I recently deployed it, and it is working fine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Jamf Connect is really useful for security purposes and scalability. It eliminates the need to bind Mac devices to Active Directory, allowing local user and password syncing directly. This makes it more compatible with Apple devices.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Jamf Connect involved thorough planning, and once the configuration policies were created, the deployment was very quick.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not involved in the pricing of anything in my current or customer's company.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Jamf Connect to companies who do not want to bind their devices to Active Directory due to compatibility issues with Apple devices. Active Directory works, but there are many complications with password syncing and keychains.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
