What are Jamf School users saying about the software?

Jamf School is an Awesome Product

Pros

The biggest part of Jamf School that I like is the ease of use.

Cons

One thing I did not like was Implementation process.

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.

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.

Jamf makes iPad management easy

positive

Pros

Pushing out apps to groups of ipads is very easy once the groups are set up

Cons

Sometimes glitchy ands some ipads in the group do not receive the apps that were pushed to them.

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.

Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk)

Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk) has been a great MDM solution for our school district's needs.

Pros

The price can't be beat. There is a perpetual license option that our district has used for every device we purchase.

Cons

As a district with both Jamf Pro and Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk) deployed we do miss some of the more advanced data collection features available without custom scripting in Jamf Pro.

Love Jamf School

Greater control over iPads

Pros

The web browser gui is very easy to use. We also use Jamf Pro for our Mac, and while it has a very similar layout - it has what I call death by a thousand clicks. Doing fairly simple things in Jamf PRO call for multiple clicks on the same screen to get to what you need. Jamf School is more streamlined and a bit faster to make quick changes.

Cons

more api functionality. There are a lot of good functions for compiling information about iPads, but Id love to see all the functions that exist in Jamf School also exist in an api format. Better control over Macs - would love to switch to Jamf School for our MacBooks, but right now, Jamfpro blows Jamf School out of the water TOO much in my opinion. being able to install packages easily within Jamfschool would almost be enough for us to switch over.

Love it!

Pros

This is a tech coordinators dream! It allows us to push out apps, control settings, update, remote reset. Basically we could become a zero touch institution. I love that we can package our apps and push them out. I also love the one time fee for the lifetime of the device instead of paying a per year fee.

Cons

There is a learning curve but once you get it, it's awesome. Would like to use it to remote into computers (remote screen sharing)

Great Product

Pros

I like everything about the Jamf suite of products

Cons

some of the more advanced things will take time to learn if you are trying to teach yourself.

fantastic

Pros

great value and features, we use it daily

Cons

I think it can be better with adding a new feature section

Jamf School

I really enjoy the using Jamf School to manage our school devices. It cost for perpetual licensing makes it a very affordable option for schools. Thank you!

Pros

Ease of use. I like how easy it is to set up profiles. It is also very easy to use VPP with Apple School Manager to push out apps to our devices.

Cons

packaging apps to distribute is a bit time consuming.

Jamf School

We managed all of our student and staff iPads with Jamf School.

Pros

The software is easy to use and is not overwhelming.

Cons

I wish the software handled locations a bit differently. I also wish there was a way to see if a device has been wiped.

Pro to School

Pros

The UI is easier to navigate. It does more of what we want than Pro.

Cons

That it is user-based is different then our current setup making it a bigger switch than hoped.

Jamf MDM Solution for iPad Management

All of my interactions with Jamf school have been extremely positive. Always very helpful with minimal wait time for support.

Pros

Once the system is initially configured, the system becomes highly scalable. It is easy to push apps and updates through the interface, which is also very intuitive. In all honesty, the software provides so many features and it is customizable at a very granular level.

Cons

The initial configuration was a bit confusing, however, the support I received was superb in getting the environment correctly configured.

I expected more

Good

Pros

I love love the inventory and being able to lock down a stolen device.

Cons

Its very difficult to learn, not much contact from anyone from Jamf unfortunately.

Jamf School is the real deal

so far so good. No real issues, no red alarms, I want o continue to use it testing.

Pros

the tools set, the integrations with Apple and Jamf software.

Cons

Nothing to complain about at this time of the use and testing.

K12 iPad management

Managing our iPads with out the need of touching each one, saves us countless hours!

Pros

Integration with our fleet and users was seem-less.

Cons

Creating the scope to issue apps to groups was more difficult than expected.
