Jamf Now Features
Zero-Touch Deployment
Jamf Now allows you to automatically enroll and configure new apple devices without any manual intervention. Devices are shipped directly to users and are ready to work with all necessary apps, settings, and security policies applied upon their first startup.
App Management
The platform streamlines software deployment across all your apple devices. You can centrally distribute apps purchased through apple's volume purchasing, deploy third-party applications using app installers, and push in-house custom apps, ensuring all users have the correct tools.
Inventory Management
The software provides a complete, real-time-view of your entire apple fleet from a single dashboard. This capability allows you to track key device details, monitor operating system versions, and see which applications are installed to ensure security compliance and manage your assets.
Access Management
Jamf Now simplifies user authentication by syncing local mac passwords with cloud identity providers. Through an integration with jamf connect, it ensures credentials match cloud services, reducing password-related IT tickets and securing access.
Endpoint Protection
This feature safeguards your macOS devices with built-in malware prevention. This actively monitors known threats, automatically blocks malicious processes from running, and quarantines any harmful files to keep your company data secure.

“Simple setup”
Pros
It's a simple product that doesn't require any training. You can easily set it up and configure everything yourself. Adding a new device via the web is simple and you can deploy apps directly from Apple Business Manager to your iPads remotely. If you need to change the Wi-Fi password, you just update it in Jamf Now and push it out to all the relevant devices at once. The dashboard gives you a complete overview of all your devices, showing their last connection time, current iOS version and model. You can also create blueprints for different types of devices.
Cons
The new price feels a bit high for what you get especially when you compare it to Jamf Pro which offers more features for a similar cost.

“support is non existent now!”
Pros
I liked that the platform was pretty user-friendly but the main reason I chose them was their support. They always answered the phone and a technician would help me right away.
Cons
Customer support basically doesn't exist for Jamf Now anymore. They don't answer the phone and have split up their teams so you get directed to Jamf Pro support. But when they answer, they can't help you because they don't handle Jamf Now. So you're pretty much on your own......
