Administartor

You can deploy Apps form Apple Business and can remotely install them on the iPad´s. If you need to change the Wifi Password, you can just add the new Password in jamf now and distribute it to all devices which need it.

You see all your Devices in one Dashboard, see when they last connected to jamf and what iOS Version is installed atm.

Its a simple Product which needs no training.

IT Support Engineer

To a beginner it was pretty complicated, but easy to pick up after using it for a while.

However, the biggest reason I went with them is that they always answered the phone and a tech would help.  

Senior Project Manager 

Jamf is easy to setup some basic mdm capabilities.

The customer support no longer exists with Jamf Now.  

IT Manager

There are some limitations that we have been having with Jamf Now that are available in its upgraded version of JamfPro, we think they could add more features.

Branch Administrator

I like that I am able to deploy apps, manage settings, and have their phones ready to use while still in the box.

Chief Administrative Officer

We can deploy our basic software to our devices most of the time, and once deployed, they usually update correctly. And in theory, Jamf Now has the features that we are looking for.

The best way we've found to solve problems has been to find other customers who have had the same problem and have found a solution - Jamf Now staff has not been much help.

Brand director 

I like that it had a ton of options and flexibility for restrictions etc.

Also, there’s a lot of times that Jamf is being slow and doesn’t sync right away.

GIS Administrator

I like the clear UI so you can get a good picture of everything without digging down too much.

I wish that there was a way to track iPhone locations.

Marketing/Bus. Dev.

I wish it was a little more user friendly seeing as though I am not an IT person and someone who has to re-figure out how to do it every year.

The number of hours that we have wasted trying to get Jamf Now to work properly is shocking.

It is unreliable, badly documented, and has very poor customer support.

We have lots of iPhones that are used by our employees.

I think the yearly updating of the tokens.

Director of Marketing

It is intimidating just thinking about how you could possibly mess up an expensive device but their FAQs and setup videos are indispensable.

Estimator

It was really easy to setup and manage 60+ devices having no prior knowledge.  

I've actually attracted another friend into using the software with their company.

More that you guys have figured out how to make it less painful.

Director of IT

Their software was installing corrupt profiles on our computers that weren't removable.

Contract Specialist

Simply to use and makes managing devices easy

Jamf Now was the easy choice for our iOS MDM program and once I got the Apple Business Program set up and connected to Jamf Now, it was supper easy.

The fact that it can lock down so many of the areas that were security concerns for us was HUGE!

IT System Engineer / Jamf Pro Admin

When you are going more deeply into scripting, there is almost nothing that cannot being done in macOS

The interface is clean, was easy to setup, good email notifications about certificates needing to be rotated.

Can't see anyting I don't like - everything so far is great

This software is so user friendly once you figure out how to use it.

IT Systems Specialist

Automation depth is limited – You can automate common workflows, but advanced, conditional automation (especially cross-platform) isn’t as strong as higher-end tools.

Engineer - Systems and Security

Hexnode offers a comprehensive device management solution tailored for both small-to-medium businesses and large enterprises.

Reporting and analytics are basic – The built-in reports work, but they’re not very customizable or insightful compared to larger UEM platforms.

Head of Technology

I can't even apply security actions such as locking computers remotely, changing passwords, etc.

UI inconsistencies at times – While generally clean, some deeper settings feel buried or behave slightly differently across platforms.

Security Engineer

They always send detailed emails after a call for a recap, or next steps if a follow up is needed.

The remote assist feature on windows and android is great; being able to view the screen of users and remotely control the screen using the mdm is a very welcome feature.

Flexible policy controls – Especially for kiosk/lockdown modes and compliance rules.

Deputy Director, IT Security

The cross-platform support, unified management, and straightforward deployment make Hexnode highly efficient.

IT Support

Fairly low monthly costs, ability to push out custom Android packages, kiosk mode that is almost impossible to bypass without physical access to the devices ports or buttons.

IT manager

The interface is intuitive overall, but certain policy menus require several clicks to reach deeper settings.

Technical Director

I would much rather have a single pane of glass for the entire org rather than multiple tools for multiple platforms.

President

Hexnode is actually capable of doing pretty much all device types, but we're using it for Mac to comply with client InfoSec requirements.

Overall I have used Hexnode to manage PC, Mac, iOS and Android - and its been amazing to be able to manage such a variety of systems in one console.

Endpoint engineering lead

Hexnode UEM has succeeded in streamlining our MDM capabilities for a variety of endpoints across our fleet. While it does lack some features, I am quite excited reading about their roadmap, futuristic plans and their greater ease of deployment.

for all the other plans, only tracking is ok, but remote control is limited to impossible.

Network Administrator

The worst is that searching for help comes with "nothing matched your terms" and I have then manually went thru and found the exact phrase I searched for in the help.
