About Jamf Connect
Jamf Connect leverages a single cloud identity on any Apple device to gain immediate access to the resources your users need.
While using Jamf Connect, a user can unbox their Mac, power it on and access all of their corporate applications after signing on with a single set of cloud-identity credentials.
With account provisioning, you can reimagine your end users' login experience with a simple and seamless process to get going on their Mac. Jamf Connect supports cloud-identity providers such as Okta, Active Directory, Google Cloud and Apple's customized enrollment feature.
Through identity management, you'll know the who, when and where of access to your organization's devices and information giving IT teams peace of mind when security vulnerabilities are everywhere.
Finally, get hassle-free account management so that account logins and passwords are forever in sync. By leveraging a single identity to unlock everything a user needs to get the job done, IT teams can eliminate password-related help desk requests and deliver one harmonious end-user experience.

Streamlining account creation and login
Reviewed on 26/08/2021
Pros
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.
Cons
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 on Macs
Reviewed on 28/03/2024
Pros
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".
Cons
The enrollment process was a bit clunky and users struggled initially. Now that it has been deployed for a while users have adjusted.

Not the best for AD environment

fair, I like the ability to control logins and have hands free deployment but this really is only useful for new Mac deployments. I did not even try to move a user to a new Mac, not sure how that would work
Pros
The ability to use hands off deployment to new users
Cons
I had issues with passwords in my testing. We us AD accounts to access our Mac computers. When Jamf connect setups on a machine that already has and AD mobile account, it makes it local, this does something that when the user changes their ad password the connection between Jamf connect and the Mac will not allow the password to be updated. I had a support ticket and we were unable to resolve this issue. Also, when running updates on a computer the updates do not complete until Jamf Connect has authenticated. I would start updates on Friday, come in on Monday, sign into Jamf Connect, then have to wait 15 minutes for the update to complete.

Its not perfect (yet)
Reviewed on 24/08/2021
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
