Migrating our customer to JAMF School has provided great value for our customers.

  • June 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to easily add individual appS to single devices and disable profiles. Also, the speed in which changes hit the devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to remove a single app from a single device without customising multiple device groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jamf school is bringing a fully managed MDM to schools by reducing the cost of licensing.

It also helps us make changes to 1000's devices quickly and efficiently

Jamf School in Action

  • June 06, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and user-friendly interface, members of the team feel confident in using the product daily (with minimum training). Deploying profiles, and adding or removing of applications by dragging an icon onto the iPads screen, just makes life so much easier, visually intuitive and very helpful when troubleshooting. We have been using this product now across our Trust schools (over 2400 devices) for about 3 years, it just makes the management and deployment process a lot less stressful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, we used to use Jamf Pro prior but as a Trust school which just uses iPads, we found we were not using the product's vast features so we switched to Jamf School.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setting up devices and deploying profiles is seamless and when we are dealing with over 2400 devices and various age groups, this makes a massive difference with the burden of the workload and timescales.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For schools/ education sector looking for an easy to set up out of the box product for deploying and managing iPads, you don't need to look any further, we have tried Meraki, and Jamf Pro but have found Jamf School to be perfect for all of our needs relating to the management/deployment and the end-user experience.

Jamf School's good for iOS Management

  • May 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Managing iOS Devices with Jamf School is quite easy. Even a non IT-Pro can push Apps and iOS Updates to a very high number of devices. Sure for small Schools a great product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss some features from jamf pro and vice versa. Lack of "really" macOS supporting as jamf pro does made us change to jamf pro for some smaller institutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automatic App deployment and Config Profile pushing as a good mdm solution. Also iPad Updating and restrictions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jamf School is a very good product (MDM Solution) but for IT-Pro's i'd recommend jamf-pro

Jamf School

  • October 21, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
-zero touch deployment
-pushes out updates
-install packages
-lock devices when lost
-manage settings
What do you dislike about the product?
-locating a lost device is challenging. It does not pinpoint the exact location of where the device was last on.
-Support is not that great. They are not knowledgeable and do not have the expertise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't waste time setting up devices or having people bring in machines to update them. It's saving us so much time!


    Higher Education

Jamf School has helped me (a non-IT person) to manage our shared student iPads!

  • October 20, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I greatly appreciate how user-friendly their interface is. Even though I don't have a technology background, (my roots are in education and languages) it was fairly straightforward to figure out where to find things and how to adjust the settings in a way that made sense for us. Their customer service is also fantastic! I have spent more than my fair share on the phone with them and they were always very patient and helpful in finding solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, there are too many choices for settings. While I'm sure this is an asset for many, having so many customization options can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing when you don't have a solid understanding of the ins and outs of the processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a grant-funded program existing within an institution of higher learning. So while we have access to an IT Department, it is not always practical for them to handle the devices that we keep for student use outside of the office. Jamf has given us the ability to manage our own devices (about 100 iPads) and to actively provide the services our students need without having to funnel those through our university's IT dept or getting caught in any backlog they may have.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think that speaking with Jamf is the best route to go if you're considering using Jamf School. We had initially looked into Jamf Pro because of the unique setup we have, but after speaking with someone, they helped us to settle on Jamf School, which is a much better choice for us. They were also excellent in helping us to take the first steps and to gain an understanding of how to best use the product for our circumstances.

Jamf School has been a powerful resource within our organization

  • July 19, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For the past three years, Jamf School has been a powerful MDM solution since its implementation. Staff have been able to leverage the amazing classroom management tools and IT has been able to streamline many of our support practices saving time and money. IT saves time because the solution is cloud-hosted. No more coordinating downtime for updates and such.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jamf School is sold as a product that supports iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, however, many times the macOS side falls short of expectations. I also wish the Diamond Assets components, implemented into Jamf Pro in 2019, were integrated into Jamf School. I am mentioning this since school districts manage huge fleets of hardware with limited personnel. If we had some of that extended asset management information, we would save time when asking for equipment replacements. I have ways of accomplishing this task now, but it requires a lot of additional effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One that comes to mind is the distribution of apps. My District prefers in offering hundreds of apps to staff and students. Due to the way Jamf School allows administrators to target app installs for staff, we can make sure that only certain staff can deploy certain apps to students.

The fact that Jamf School runs on my iPhone, iPad, or Mac, as the primary system administrator for Jamf School I can resolve problems anywhere at any time.
