About Jamf Connect

Jamf Connect gives users the ability to access their Mac and their applications with a single identity — all without the need for multiple accounts or to bind to Active Directory. Supporting cloud-identity providers such as Okta, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Google Cloud and Apple’s enrollment customization feature, Jamf Connect provides an improved user experience, during setup and day-to-day logins. Additional benefits include:

  • Improved login experience with a single set of credentials across your users’ cloud-identity provider and Mac. Jamf Connect extends this to cloud-identity providers and keeps them in sync indefinitely.

  • Organized Mac fleet for IT to manage — all users are consistently using their cloud-identity credentials (username and password) across their device and applications.

  • Multifactor authentication with each and every login, ensuring the right person is on the right machine.

Security vulnerabilities are everywhere. And in today’s remote working world, where employees are logging in from unsecure networks or an unauthorized user gets their hands on devices, security concerns are at an all-time high. Because Jamf Connect requires a cloud-identity us...

ername and password, IT admins are able to monitor who is accessing their devices, leverage cloud admin permissions to service machines, and maintain security and compliance standards across all devices and users. - Admins have the ability to track and monitor what devices are being accessed, from where and by whom. - Ability to create multiple IT admin accounts that can leverage cloud-identity provider (IdP) permissions to log in as an admin to any machine, eliminating the security risk of having one static IT account. - Admins can enforce password policies via the IdP, maintaining consistency and security of devices and users. Having multiple logins and passwords across Mac can detract from a user’s experience and productivity. Jamf Connect eliminates this hassle by leveraging a single identity to unlock everything a user needs to get the job done. Ensure your users’ cloud-identity passwords are synchronized down to the local account level on the Mac, even when the password is changed. Once a user signs on with a single set of credentials, Jamf Connect will: - Synchronize passwords between the cloud-identity provider and the local Mac account. - Make it easy to report on which cloud-identity accounts are being used on each machine. With Jamf Connect, simplify your job and the login process for your users while keeping them secure.

    Pros:
    Our users simply open the sealed box, and after the traditional setup, are prompted to enter their IDP Credentials. Now their local account and password matches what is in the IDP. If the user changes their password somewhere other than their Mac, Jamf Connect detects and remediates the change on their Mac too. If your org requires FileVault 2 encryption to be enabled, Jamf Connect and ensure the device is encrypted, with the key being escrowed, before any user has created their account.
    Cons:
    While Jamf only supports Apple Devices, our Windows users get jealous of the speed in which we can deploy and provision Macs to our users.

    Pros:
    End users can easily and seamless access their devices with little to no guidance once the initial setup is done, which is amazing, especially during certification renewal process
    Cons:
    The enrollment process can be cumbersome, especially, if you need to later on release a machine, it can't be easily done without fully erasing it, otherwise, you still get a few residual files and configurations

    Reasons for choosing Jamf Connect

    It was the most robust and complete option out there, especially in the Apple's ecosystem

    Not the best for AD environment

    Cons:
    I had issues with passwords in my testing. We us AD accounts to access our Mac computers. When Jamf connect setups on a machine that already has and AD mobile account, it makes it local, this does something that when the user changes their ad password the connection between Jamf connect and the Mac will not allow the password to be updated. I had a support ticket and we were unable to resolve this issue. Also, when running updates on a computer the updates do not complete until Jamf Connect has authenticated. I would start updates on Friday, come in on Monday, sign into Jamf Connect, then have to wait 15 minutes for the update to complete.

    Reasons for choosing Jamf Connect

    We use Jamf Pro to manage our Mac inventory and wanted to have ease of compatibility

    Mac Password Sync Solution

    Well, it's not completely rolled out to all of our Macs yet, because we need to figure out a solution for pushing out our 802.1x wireless profile to devices for machine authentication. For the devices we are testing on, the software works well and helps to eliminate password sync issues.

    Pros:
    It was becoming obvious that binding Macs to AD was no longer best practice. We needed a solution to keep passwords in sync and Jamf Connect does that perfectly. We also like the ability to customize the login screen and allow users to login via SSO.
    Cons:
    I thought the implementation was a bit difficult, and we could have used additional time with an expert in order to get things up and running. I wish users could be admins on their own Macs without having admin access to all Mac devices.

    Reasons for choosing Jamf Connect

    The only other product I was aware of was Nomad, which was purchased by Jamf. We are a Jamf Pro customer, so it made sense to go with Jamf Connect.

    Jamf Connect is a product made by the same engineer that made NomAD, after JAMF acquired NomAD, JAMF Connect became their enterprise solution. The main reason for going with JAMF Connect vs NomAD was mostly the support.
