Jamf School is an Awesome Product

PROS

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

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).

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 School for you

PROS

Ease of use and jamf teacher!! Our teachers were mind blown when we demonstrated taking all apps away from students except what they allowed. Instant buy in.!!

CONS

Too simplistic for some work flows. Also most documentation is for jamf Pro.

Reasons for switching to Jamf School

They didn’t keep up with the Apple updates.

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.

Reasons for switching to Jamf School

Lower cost with perpetual device licensing options without losing too many features.

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)

Reason for choosing Jamf School

Recommendation from colleagues and it does what we need it to do.

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Jamf School

Cost for perpetual licensing is very affordable for schools on a tight budget.

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.

Great way to enroll school devices.
