Jamf Connect Reviews

Our users simply open the sealed box, and after the traditional setup, are prompted to enter their IDP Credentials. Now their local account and password matches what is in the IDP. If the user changes their password somewhere other than their Mac, Jamf Connect detects and remediates the change on their Mac too.
If your org requires FileVault 2 encryption to be enabled, Jamf Connect and ensure the device is encrypted, with the key being escrowed, before any user has created their account.

While Jamf only supports Apple Devices, our Windows users get jealous of the speed in which we can deploy and provision Macs to our users.

Jamf allows us to control access and Single Sign On on our Mac machines. Previous products did not allow the access controls we have with Jamf and we had lots of "rogue machines".

The enrollment process was a bit clunky and users struggled initially. Now that it has been deployed for a while users have adjusted.

The easy management of the product is absolutely one of the best advantages of the product.

Compared to other solutions it was a little more expensive, but if you want great software with professional support it will be worth the money.

In a post COVID-19 world, we had to come up with a way to deploy laptops to people and get them logged in off VPN. Jamf Connect has answered that call and made our lives easier.

The application can often be buggy and sometimes regardless of the configuration, Jamf Connect misbehaves. These aren't deal breakers, but for a premium product, I expect premium experience.

This has moved us much closer to zero touch deployment and allowed the majority of our company to work fully remote from all across the US during the covid pandemic. Our IT workflows for onboarding and account provisioning have been forever improved.

Patch management can be a little confusing and we will be limited if we ever need to add Windows ir Android machines to our environment

Jamf connect is great for anyone in a Mac in your environment. It is easy to setup when you have Jamf, but it great for any MDM. Fixes Keychain issues and implement a modern way of authenticating onto the Mac.

It is a bit pricey but if you have an education it does come with a discount. You will also need time to test and setup.

Easy to configure and deploy, especially in conjunction with Jamf Pro.

One limitation, which is a flaw in all products in this realm, is that they can not authenticate to enterprise level networks at the login screen without a workaround. There are workarounds, but this is a flaw in macOS.

What I like most about this product are two things: 1) Jamf Connect creating the user account rather than creating a local account. 2) Password staying in sync with Azure credentials.

Very minimal cons. Having to log on 3 times can be a bit annoying (FileVault, Azure, Local login).

At the end of the day, it just works. We utilize Okta and Jamf to create a touchless deployment and SSO experience for our end users. They can open their new Mac directly from the factory and be logged in within 15 minutes.

Since it basically requires JamfPro to function, it's expensive. Would love to see additional discounts across multiple SKUs. It also requires some real technical expertise to fully deploy.

I love that I don’t have to mess with domain joining a Mac and I have the ability to shut off account access to a computer or password reset now that everyone is remote.

Doesn’t seem to notify users very well when their password is expiring.

I came on board shortly after the deployment of Jamf connect and it has made a big impact on our touchless enrollment. The Okta integration was convenient

Somewhat difficult to configure and the guide could have done a better job explaining some of the functionality. Specifically, I would have liked to see better documentation around FileVault workflows. I found myself digging around other sites to get information that I felt should have been in the documentation.

Easy setup , Reliable, helps with SSO on my mac devices

my students and staff have to sign in and then enter their password multiple times to get in and it takes time away from education and instruction.

Even though I'm not very experienced in Jamf, it is quite simple navigating through the admin portal. Plus your support team has been excellent whenever I run into issues.

I wish there could be a broader way to search in the portal.

We needed a way to centrally deploy software as well as implement user policy configurations and Jamf pro made that easy.

I think the learning curve can be steep but once you are through the initial training sessions required it is pretty straightforward. The Jamf Nation site is very valuable and has a lot of help for new admins.

The ease of use and flexibility to deploy and replace our Active Directory structure

Purchasing this product took awhile but so far happy with it.

Easy to use and great features. It is customizable which is nice.

It was tough to implement at first but once setup it is easy to use.

It provided a way for us to shift our workload remote, now new Mac users can create a new profile while offsite.

Make it easier to stay current on the versioning.

Set up was very fast and easy!
Very configurable.
Easy support.

You have to pay for on boarding it but I could have done it with just the documentation.

How it integrates with Jamf Pro on the backend.

There isn’t much to not like. It sets up easily and can be managed pretty well.
