Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access.""It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect.""It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need.""The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products.""The solution is scalable.""I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten.""Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall.""The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."

More Jamf Connect Pros →

"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product.""The contained browser is a good feature.""The solution has very good documentation.""The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity.""The performance is good, and it is easy to configure.""Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution.""It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use.""Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Cons
"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features.""Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient.""The solution needs to improve its licensing.""The logs are an area with a shortcoming.""The configuration could be faster.""The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved.""When a Mac is joined to Azure, the generic Pro console in the MDM should accurately display the Mac as joined to Azure in the inventory section. Currently, it shows "no domain account found," which can be misleading.""We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."

More Jamf Connect Cons →

"When it comes to deployment and maintaining security, there should be an integrated console where you have a singular view of all of the products from the same OEM.""Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved.""VMware Workspace ONE can improve in virtual reality. Customers are now looking toward virtual reality devices. Though it supports virtual reality, it's treated as an Android device. Customers want to deal with VR devices, they want a specific VR tool. Not an Android device VR tool.""We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it. We have an on-premise AirWatch solution and for us to do upgrades we have to call AirWatch to be able to perform the upgrades. They're busy, and scheduling it is not timely enough for us.""The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement.""Pricing is a limitation. I think it's on the higher side, so if it were cheaper, it would benefit more organizations.""The technical support could be improved.""The mobile device repository is somewhat difficult to manage with a large user base."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's relatively inexpensive."
  • "The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."
  • "We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."
  • "The solution's price is reasonable."
  • "I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."
  • "Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."
  • "The pricing is good."
  • More Jamf Connect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You should take out a dedicated license agreement of your MDM fleet and invest heavily in innovating in this space."
  • "In terms of pricing, this solution is definitely much more expensive compared to other solutions, like MobileIron or MaaS360 or any other product in the market. This solution is more expensive by 30 or 40 percent."
  • "I have no opinion about the pricing of the product."
  • "The pricing and licensing are affordable. They are not too high."
  • "I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
  • "If you purchase it for one year, it is very expensive. If you get it for three years or up to five years, then you can bargain a better price."
  • "There is a separate cost for technical support and extra premium features. The pricing should be simplified."
  • "The cost is a little bit high."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

    PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

    Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
