Day 1 Protection at its finest

Symantec's M1 and macOS compatibility came into play with our decision to move to Jamf Protect. The transition was seamless and and well welcomed.

PROS

The setup, deployment and all of its features are easily what I love most about Jamf Protect. Within minutes of approval, we were up and running.

CONS

For our immediate purposes, we did not have any cons about using Jamf Protect. Jamf made everything easy and nothing hard or bad about using or deploying this software.

Reason for choosing Jamf Protect

M1 and macos compatibility

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Compatibility issues.

Still Learning

From purchasing, to deployment, and jamf support, our experience has been great!

PROS

Like by review title says, I am still learning. There is so much to comprehend in Pro let alone, another integrated product. With that said, the integration is amazing. I love the ease of deployment.

CONS

I would love more help on the "clean up" side for when viruses/malware are found. Protect has already caught some issues, some of which are easy to handle and others I'm at a complete loss and just wipe the device. The pricing for education could use some love. We are paying a premium, which I understand; however, I will be honest that competitors (Mosyle) are tempting for education customers such as ourselves. We love jamf to the core though, so the swap cannot be justified currently.

Reason for choosing Jamf Protect

Trying to stay within the Jamf Family. We purchased Connect as well. We run Pro, Connect, and Protect. They are great products and luckily we have leadership that is willing to pay for them. Also, Jamf support and jamf nation are extremely valuable.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Good product, but still needs improvement.

Hoping for the best and overall improvement from Wandera. Fingers crossed.

PROS

It allows us to save the budget and avoid unnecessary payment for overpriced data abroad for our colleagues.

CONS

Since we are still migrating from Wandera, can't yet tell.

Reason for choosing Jamf Protect

Not sure.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

We had to, as it was purchased by Jamf.

Still the Gold Standard

PROS

It is very customizable, and the online community is second to none.

CONS

There have been a few features that have been missing for a long time. For example, renaming a device using user info during deployment.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Lightspeed support was horrid. Their system was quite limited and clunky as well.

Jamf Protect - seamless and invisible

We are very happy with Jamf Protect! The price point and functionality made the switch from another vendor a no-brainer.

PROS

Tight integration with Jamf Pro made setup and deployment extremely simple. I didn’t have to think about it after the initial setup.

CONS

I do wish there was more of a user interface on the client machine.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Price and functionality of BitDefender were not to our liking. BitDefender seemed hesitant to adopt newer macOS methodologies.

Jamf Protect

PROS

I think the setup process to get Jamf Protect implemented is a big pro. Being able to work with a dedicated team to get everything implemented really avoided any stress that could have been caused by a bad setup.

CONS

I do not have any complaints with the Jamf Protect software as of now. I think that there could be more in the sense of Training for the product since Jamf only offers two training classes currently for the product.

Simple Deployment and Easy Upkeep

My experience so far has been great. The upkeep is very easy.

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.

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

Deployable with ARD or JAMF Pro. They made it a way easier alternative to other brands and the support has been great. They have contacted me, for feedback/improvements/ideas.

CONS

Still learning....hoping for more free web trainings/videos like I had for JAMF Pro inception and deployment.

Reason for choosing Jamf Protect

Support and able to implement ASAP, when I needed a solution.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

They discontinued it for newer OS's after OS 10.13.x.

Jamf Protect, why would you not?

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.

JAMF Protect the best for Macs

Really nice. Once I got it installed and tied into Jamf Pro, It's been great!

PROS

Auto install and auto updates configuration/version changes

CONS

Needs a more simple way to setup advanced threat removals within Protect with auto quarantine file removal choices. minimize the need do dump issues out to Jamf Pro for resolution.

Reason for choosing Jamf Protect

We have JAMF for our MDM needs and we wanted to stay in-house for the tighter integration and support.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Virusbarrier lacked enterprise management and detailed reporting.

Comprehensive endpoint security suite for macOS

PROS

Designed exclusively, for macOS which can be easily seen in its architecture and implementation for any macOS Admin. It is feature rich and is one of the few solutions to leverage the new Endpoint Security framework to prevent (at process level) threats from even launching. Lightweight and by far the lowest impact of other solutions tested and used. Support is excellent and product is updated several time a month with new features and improvements based on feedback.

CONS

More documentation, examples and better marketing and comparison against other solutions would be useful. With its newer approach for security, large range of features and design exclusively for macOS and Endpoint Security framework, traditional security professionals often miss and don't see the benefits of Protect from a preventative (vs. reactive) approach.

Reasons for switching to Jamf Protect

Day 0 support; Protect is macOS only and leaves legacy baggage out (ported over Windows or linux products)

Jamf Protect

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.

PROS

I liked the implementation, it was very easy. Basically Jamf has it all set up right "out-of-box".

CONS

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.

A Great Start

This has allowed us to gain strong endpoint protections.. especially when switching to M1 Macs that (at the time) other software providers didn't yet support.

PROS

I love the heuristic approach to protecting our endpoints. This has the potential to be very effective at mitigating, preventing, and isolating rouge processes/malware.

CONS

Assigning licenses and installing could be easier. Full integration with the Jamf dashboard would be nice. We look forward to more robust pre-canned mitigation workflows to work with.

Very easy to implement if you also are using Jamf Pro. Provides good security event monitoring. Insights for CIS Level 1 and CIS Level 2 are nice to get a good overview of the important settings and policies.
