Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is a stable one.""The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology.""Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition.""It provides very strong cross-platform support.""Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level.""The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR.""We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual.""Good text reading ability."

"We are able to manage our full fleet of devices and can simply integrate with all of our systems.""Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office.""Jamf Pro has allowed us to make sure settings for our devices are easily installed so our end-users don't need to worry about a significant amount of steps for setup. We also use this to send applications to devices.""Being able to easily deploy apps and patches to our client computers with minimal hands-on time from our techs has been huge.""As an administrator, I really love the integration with Apple Business Manager.""Configuration Profiles from Jamf Pro are awesome.""Automating the refresh of the devices is huge for both sides of the end-user experience.""I am most excited about a feature that is called User-Initialed Enrollment."

Cons
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price.""A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment.""The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement.""I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place.""In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing.""We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution.""If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems.""The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."

More Eggplant Test Cons →

"One of the big areas in need of improvement is automated device naming for computers.""I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands.""I wish the inventory would have its own pane without having to do it as a search.""There are known issues with the mobile configs that need to be fixed.""This solution would benefit from more focus on Self Service, such as Office 365 and GSuite integration.""I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro.""Currently, you need to scroll through pages and pages of icons (we have many icons that have been uploaded), and it can be tedious.""It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow. It would also improve the user experience if Jamf integrated native macOS notifications, with the option to interact within the notification center."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
  • "Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
  • "End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
  • "It probably has a yearly license."
  • "This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
  • "Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

  • "I think it pays for itself to let Jamf host the server."
  • "The setup cost is in the training, which is the most important step of your journey."
  • "The cost of this solution is expensive but worth it."
  • "If you have the in-house capability to support Jamf, then paying for onboarding / JumpStart training is a no brainer."
  • "With respect to pricing, Jamf Pro is the better bet."
  • "The total ROI is worth every penny."
  • "The setup is pricey upfront for support and setup."
  • "Setup and licensing prices are getting to be too high."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Jamf Pro stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Some of these include its app deployment, its easy installation, and the fact that it’s lightweight but powerful. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    An IT Support Specialist at Visby Medical writes, “The first most valuable feature I found was the ability to simply push out applications to devices, Mac or iPads/iPhones. It's as easy as procuring the licensing for the apps and then setting it to the volume purchasing back in Jamf.”

    Another reviewer, a Desktop Engineer at Kroger, notes, “The self-service portal to share scripts and other tasks that have extremely minimized the need for calls to our support teams, or even sharing the applications we package and allowing users to pick and choose what apps they need or want, instead of just blanket installing everything from our old environment.”
