What do you like best about Jamf Now?

JamfNow is incredibly easy to deploy. It provides the basic required functionality of an Asset Management application at a reasonable price per device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

Coming from JamfPro, it is a little jarring just how few features are included. For basic management or for organizations with a constrained IT budget it's great, but its functionality is otherwise limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf Now:

If your environment has a significant number of Macs, do yourself a favor and get JamfNow (or Pro, if you can afford it) instead of rolling your asset management into an all-in-one solution to include your PCs. That's a mistake I've made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our asset management was a joke - outdated spreadsheets, notes and comments treated as sources of truth from non-IT employees or former employees, etc. Now we have visibility into every Mac we own, and can monitor/lock/wipe in case of emergencies (including two actual thefts since deployment).

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Jamf Now?

Featuring streamlined and understandable connectivity with Apple Business Manager, Jamf Now is a powerful product serving IT and non-IT alike. I can deploy and hand over control to non-IT staff to manage moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

Would love Jamf Now to offer a simplified upgrade path to Jamf Pro. They’re working on it - but it's time for a solution!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

I manage over a thousand devices across many deployments — all from a single web browser. I'd love a centralized dashboard to see all my clients, but I still appreciate the features, simplicity, and reliability of Jamf Now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Jamf Now?

I love how easy it is connect to customer support for Jamf Now! They're chat enables me to connect and get my questions answered right away. It is so convenient, especially since I was completely new to device management. The customer support assistants are extremely helpful and knowledgeable of their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

One think I don't like about this product is that I am unable to re-name my devices. For example, because I did not know this when connecting devices, I named all of them after the people who would be using them at the time. When one person turned their device in, I went to change their device name on Jamf to a generic name, and I am unable to do so. So even though on Jamef, the device's name shows up as "Bob", i just need to remember that Bob no longer physically has that device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf Now:

I would recommend using Jamf Now for mobile device management on just their customer service alone. One thing that is a little annoying however are the layout of their website; it's not as intuitive as I think it could be. With that being said however, their customer support chat is so helpful, when I do need help navigating the website, I can always get my questions answered right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jamf Now allows me to send automatic updates and control what is downloaded and how devices are used, all while sitting at my computer. It's very helpful, because instead of people rushing be at board meetings to ask "how do I update this app?", I can make sure everything is completed and updated with out them having to do anything.

What do you like best about Jamf Now?

The user interface is clean and sensible, with all the key information within a click or two of where you need it. Easy enrollment for individual devices as well as auto-enrol for new devices has allowed us to quickly deploy to the estate, including the mobile platforms which was an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

Several of the features get exponentially more expensive if you need them. It is not clear how you can cost-effectively go from JAMFNow to the wider range of products without considerable expense. Works very well as a small company management tool but would question the scalability vs. cost of something like InTune Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

We now have a single intuitive portal to view and manage our Apple estate, including desktops (even the newer M1 chipsets), iPads, and iPhones. This has helped us achieve our CyberEssential certification through the easy application of security policies which was a challenge previously; using JAMF Connect, we even keep passwords in sync with our Azure. Given our business, this really helps streamline our processes which is beneficial for demonstrations and illustrates how we practice what we preach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jamf Now?

JamfNow has enabled us to manage all of our field devices effortlessly. It is straightforward to update and keep track of everything all in one place. Onboarding new devices is easy and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

The only downside that we encounter is not being able to view the precise location of our apple devices if they have not checked in. This is more of an apple issue as oppose to a Jamf issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems Jamf Now solves for us is the ability to manage and keep all of our devices updated in the field. Our team is all over the state, and allowing us to easily update and troubleshoot a device is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jamf Now?

I love the balance between ease of use and power that Jamf Now offers for my small business. Easy to deploy. Easy to monitor. Easy to change. Yet, I'm confident of its security-forward position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

Had I reviewed a jamf Now a month ago, I would have commented on the need for other tools for security. Now with Jamf Protect built in, I have little to suggest for future improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf Now:

Jamf is one of the few companies that speaks Apple fluently. And they are the one that has the most experience in the ecosystem. Yes, evaluate others, but do so with an eye towards their rate of feature change and quality of support. Every company says they are fast. Find out when their GUI supported the latest Apple OS betas. Find out how long it takes to talk to a support person with an Apple background. Heck, contact support and see how willing they are to support your apple questions even when it has little or nothing to do with their software. I'm not saying Jamf is perfect at all this, but they come closer than others I've evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't have time to worry about all that I should when it comes to managing my products. Fortunately, Jamf Now offers the simplicity of set and forget while providing the active remediation that pro products usually offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Jamf Now?

Great and easy deployment and very useful especially for SMBs that want to have their basic device and access management in order. Also scalable and upgradable as businesses and requirements grow. Love the simple dashboard and overall view and the ability to have basic blueprints for our devices and deploy apps and settings over-the-air directly when onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf Now?

Too little advanced controls and some features aren't that well documented, but the support is very responsive and the community holds most answers. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf Now solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mobile device management, on-boarding and off-boarding experience, security requirements. Jamf Now enables us to do on-boarding for iPhone and Macbook in less than 1 hour from scratch (start from unboxing) to full working order. We're looking to do even more with Jamf Connect in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
