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.
