"A great product, for mass managedment of iPads and Apple devices."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jamf School?

Relatively straightforward to use and never experienced any issues/downtime etc, whilst using. Has the ability to manage multiple sites under one customer which is excellent for school trusts or bigger businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf School?

The multi-site/customer management option is a little confusing initially to use as it's not just one big shared tenant but rather a single login, and you have to switch between the customers/sites. No free offering like other MDMs, however all usual premium features are included at a fair price per device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jamf School Rocks our iPad Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jamf School?

I've used a couple of other MDMs and Jamf does a great job with the GUI. The functionality of the management options is well rounded. For a non-traditional IT person, it is easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf School?

Jamf School seems to be the "little brother" to Jamf Pro and the support documentation isn't what it could be in comparison. Many Jamf School users are former teachers, so having more detailed training information and videos specifically for Jamf School would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jamf School in Action"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jamf School?

The simplicity and user-friendly interface, members of the team feel confident in using the product daily (with minimum training). Deploying profiles, and adding or removing of applications by dragging an icon onto the iPads screen, just makes life so much easier, visually intuitive and very helpful when troubleshooting. We have been using this product now across our Trust schools (over 2400 devices) for about 3 years, it just makes the management and deployment process a lot less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf School?

Nothing really, we used to use Jamf Pro prior but as a Trust school which just uses iPads, we found we were not using the product's vast features so we switched to Jamf School. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf School:

For schools/ education sector looking for an easy to set up out of the box product for deploying and managing iPads, you don't need to look any further, we have tried Meraki, and Jamf Pro but have found Jamf School to be perfect for all of our needs relating to the management/deployment and the end-user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf School solving and how is that benefiting you?

Setting up devices and deploying profiles is seamless and when we are dealing with over 2400 devices and various age groups, this makes a massive difference with the burden of the workload and timescales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jamf School's good for iOS Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jamf School?

Managing iOS Devices with Jamf School is quite easy. Even a non IT-Pro can push Apps and iOS Updates to a very high number of devices. Sure for small Schools a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf School?

I miss some features from jamf pro and vice versa. Lack of "really" macOS supporting as jamf pro does made us change to jamf pro for some smaller institutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf School:

Jamf School is a very good product (MDM Solution) but for IT-Pro's i'd recommend jamf-pro Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf School solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automatic App deployment and Config Profile pushing as a good mdm solution. Also iPad Updating and restrictions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Jamf School has helped me (a non-IT person) to manage our shared student iPads!"

5/5

What do you like best about Jamf School?

I greatly appreciate how user-friendly their interface is. Even though I don't have a technology background, (my roots are in education and languages) it was fairly straightforward to figure out where to find things and how to adjust the settings in a way that made sense for us. Their customer service is also fantastic! I have spent more than my fair share on the phone with them and they were always very patient and helpful in finding solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jamf School?

For me, there are too many choices for settings. While I'm sure this is an asset for many, having so many customization options can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing when you don't have a solid understanding of the ins and outs of the processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Jamf School:

I think that speaking with Jamf is the best route to go if you're considering using Jamf School. We had initially looked into Jamf Pro because of the unique setup we have, but after speaking with someone, they helped us to settle on Jamf School, which is a much better choice for us. They were also excellent in helping us to take the first steps and to gain an understanding of how to best use the product for our circumstances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jamf School solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a grant-funded program existing within an institution of higher learning. So while we have access to an IT Department, it is not always practical for them to handle the devices that we keep for student use outside of the office. Jamf has given us the ability to manage our own devices (about 100 iPads) and to actively provide the services our students need without having to funnel those through our university's IT dept or getting caught in any backlog they may have.
