About Jamf Protect

Jamf Protect is an endpoint security solution designed to help businesses identify, prevent and resolve threats across Mac devices. The application allows users to gain visibility across remote devices and send automated alerts in case suspicious activities are detected across scripts and software.

Businesses can connect Jamf Protect with Jamf Pro and Jamf Connect to facilitate investigation management, machine isolation, threat response and security configuration administration. It stores data in a centralized repository and monitors devices in compliance with industry benchmarks such as the Center for Internet Security (CIS). Additionally, IT teams can receive notifications if devices deviate from defined OS hardening configurations.

It offers an application programming interface, which lets businesses integrate Jamf Protect with other systems such as Splunk. Pricing is available on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via videos, documentation, phone and other online measures.

Pros:

For a long time macOS security operations at an enterprise level was unheard of when it came to user friendly GUI and accurate reporting. Jamf Protect now makes this easy. We're now able to get a full spectrum of compliances on our macOS devices in one console, giving us the ability to be proactive in remediation when it comes to threat protection. We're given real-time alerts and insights that we were usually left in the dark with in the past.

Cons:

I honestly don't think there are any cons to this product. It does exactly what we want it to do and even rivals our current Threat Protection solution for Windows. The other products could definitely take some queues from Jamf Protect.

When SCEP went away for Macs, this was the best product I've found/tested/implemented...

Team has reached out, and I haven't had any Malware or Viruses on the Macs, so that's important.

Pros:

Deployment could not have been easier! I have to wear many hats where I work. The setup and deployment was very simple and I stepped through everything using the documentation. It was so quick and simple I thought for sure I missed something. I didn't, it's just that simple.

Cons:

I have no been using Jamf Protect long enough to have any feature requests or complaints.

During the log4j crisis, Jamf Protect was extremely useful. JP was able to detect all the computers that had log4j files, so that we could mitigate those computers.

The Threats can be hard to create at times, but Jamf Support is very good at helping create them. Often times they will update the threats themselves.
