About Jamf Connect

Streamlining account creation and login

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.

Expensive but great product

All in All the product fits well within your company if you have chosen the right applications to integrate with that.

PROS

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

CONS

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Jamf Connect

We use Jamf Pro to manage our Mac inventory and wanted to have ease of compatibility

Jamf on Macs

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.

Great Azure Authentication for Mac

PROS

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

CONS

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.
