Very easy-to-use MDM solution

Overall, it has streamlined our iPad management, enough to where I have confidence our technicians can put their hands on the platform and solve issues without needing much further escalation. The UI is very easy on the eyes, and the options available for device management make the day-to-day task of solving issues with devices much easier.

PROS

Very easy to deploy to managed devices, very easy to manage/troubleshoot devices.

CONS

It was a bit of learning curve having everything tied to the serial/device instead of a user/username, at least for the way it is implemented in our district. It can also be frustrating only having the option to contact Jamf School support via the support chat feature, especially when all the CSRs are busy or if you need assistance after hours.

Reason for choosing Jamf School

Needed something a bit more in-depth, but not as expansive as Jamf Pro (which we also use to manage MacBooks).

Jamf School MDM is a great tool for the price

PROS

The pricing is relatively low compared to a lot of the competition. That said, the features are pretty full and well rounded. The fact that they have other programs and systems that seamlessly integrate into Jamf School makes it an amazing value.

CONS

There are still limitations that any MDM has. Those great seamless integrations do add up pretty quickly. I'd have to be really nit-picky to start to list the little things that I would wish were different, so I'll just say it's great, but not perfect.

Reasons for switching to Jamf School

Cost and compatibility were key to us switching to Jamf School.

Annoyed by management system!

PROS

We can control all of the students iPads on our network. We can limit websites and/or apps.

CONS

Disowning iPads and removing Jamf is a pain! Multiple steps involved and we were having to do extra steps as well. I believe there are cheaper options out there that do just the same or better.

Quality Easy to use product

Jamf has completely revitalized how we use our ipads, because we had this structure in place we're able to seamlessly transition to elearning.

PROS

I was able to research, facilitate, and implement this product with no previous MDM experience all while working as a special education teacher.

CONS

I wish to see the jamf teacher capabilities grow.
