AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Jamf Now excels in ease of use with a score of 9.5, making it particularly appealing for small to mid-sized businesses that may not have extensive IT resources. In contrast, Jamf Pro, while still user-friendly, has a slightly lower score of 8.8, which some reviewers mention can be a hurdle for less experienced users.
  • Reviewers mention that Jamf Pro offers more robust features for enterprise-level management, such as advanced security compliance and multi-factor authentication, scoring 9.1 in regulation compliance compared to Jamf Now's 9.0. This makes Jamf Pro a better fit for organizations with stringent security requirements.
  • G2 users highlight that Jamf Now's entry-level price of $4.00 per device is significantly lower than Jamf Pro's $7.89, making it a cost-effective solution for smaller teams. However, users on G2 also note that the additional features in Jamf Pro justify the higher price for larger organizations.
  • Users say that Jamf Pro's extensive API and integration capabilities, scoring 8.9, allow for better customization and scalability, which is essential for larger enterprises. In contrast, Jamf Now's API integrations score lower at 8.4, which some users feel limits its flexibility.
  • Reviewers mention that Jamf Now's mobile device management features, particularly in device enrollment and configuration, score highly at 9.4 and 9.3 respectively, making it easier for teams to onboard new devices quickly. Jamf Pro, while still effective, has slightly lower scores in these areas, which some users feel could slow down the onboarding process.
  • Users report that Jamf Pro's remote wipe feature is highly rated at 9.2, providing peace of mind for organizations concerned about data security. Jamf Now also offers this feature with a score of 9.9, but users mention that the overall security tools in Jamf Pro are more comprehensive, scoring 9.1, which is crucial for businesses handling sensitive information.
