Jamf acquired three companies in 20 – Orchard and Grove, ZuluDesk and Digita Security, expanding its product portfolio to include identity and authentication management, an education-specific MDM, and endpoint security built for Mac using user behavior analytics. Vista Equity Partners acquired a majority of shares in Jamf in December 2017.
IBM selected Jamf Pro to manage their Macs in 2015. Over a decade after its inception, The Casper Suite was rebranded as Jamf Pro in 2017. In 2015 Dean Hager was hired as CEO to replace Halmstad and Pearson, who had previously shared those duties. Jamf received a $30 million investment from Summit Partners in 2008. Apple growth in larger environments continued and Jamf developed tools to make Apple devices work in corporate environments. The company name came from Laszlo Jamf, a character in Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow. If you have other systems (inventory management etc.) you can tie them into Jamf much more easily than Intune's Graph mess.Minneapolis-based Jamf Software was founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, by Zach Halmstad, Christopher Thon and Chip Pearson and in 2002 released The Casper Suite.
You get to use the vastly better Jamf MDM to actually manage the devices/machines, and can still use conditional access if you really need to (although you almost certainly won't need to).Į: Another point in Jamf's favour is it's much more accessible and comprehensive API. What are the benefits of integrating jamf with intune for mac MDM than using intune alone? Intune offers nothing like this (although you could potentially hack something horrible together with approval processes and power automate if you are insane) Self service scripts - If you make use of this, it can be extremely powerful. The difference between the Self Service Jamf app, and Company Portal is stark, which leads me on to. This also includes prestage enrolment packages which Intune does not have, and the vast difference in user self-service experience. Package deployment - This is one point where Intune has come on leaps and bounds, but it's still woeful when compared to Jamf. Jamf script logs are readily available after running (maybe after an inventory update, it's been a while) Logging - Had some issues with a script running? Intune will collect the logs for you (once you request them) in about a day. If you want good dynamic management groups, you want Jamf Groups - Intune's groups are laughably bad compared to Jamf. Don't get me wrong, it has improved a lot since it was rolled out, but it is still miles away from Jamf in several key areas: There are many limitations in Intune's Mac management. As of 2021, what are intunes limitations regarding mac device management? What can jamf improve in mac MDM that Intune is lacking?
