Apple device management built for enterprise teams
Jamf is the Apple-only management vendor with the deepest co-engineering relationship with Apple itself. We picked it because if your fleet is mostly Macs, iPhones and iPads, no other MDM (Microsoft Intune included) handles Apple-specific deployment, configuration profiles and zero-touch provisioning at the same fidelity.
You enrol devices via Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, push configuration profiles, applications and FileVault disk encryption keys, and use Smart Groups to scope policies dynamically. Jamf Pro is the heavyweight admin product for IT teams; Jamf Now is the simplified web app for small businesses; Jamf School targets K-12. The Jamf Protect product layers endpoint detection on top, while Jamf Connect handles cloud identity sign-in and account provisioning at the macOS login window.
Same-day support for new macOS and iOS releases is a real differentiator: Jamf typically updates the day Apple ships, where some rivals take weeks.
Jamf Now starts free for the first 3 devices, then roughly $4/device/month. Jamf Pro is sold on annual commits at around $8.50-$14/device/month depending on volume. The Business bundle pulls together Pro + Protect + Connect for medium businesses; quoted prices typically land $20-$30/device/month all-in. Add-ons matter: Protect (EDR), Trust (zero-trust network access) and Executive Threat Protection are priced separately. Education pricing is materially cheaper.
