Jamf is a legacy product that’s only so popular due to a) being around since forever and b) their close working relationship with Apple. While I struggle to think of another Mac MDM I’d consider fully baked, I would argue other MDMs have a better roadmap ahead of them than Jamf does.

Obviously, this has a lot of benefits in that it’s super flexible, but other MDMs offer similar flexibility, while also offering built-in options to manage common settings. Almost nothing can be done natively- everything worth doing requires a third party script or a custom. It’s basically just a platform that lets you host and deploy scripts. I feel like the only Jamf admin who is not a huge fan of the product.
