Pros: This is the best MDM software out there for apple products.
Cons: There is nothing that I did not like about Jamf School.
Julian A. · IT Technician · Education Management · April 9, 2025
Overall Jamf School provides the best MDM solution for iPads, with plenty of features to control them.
Pros: Best thing about Jamf School is the amount of features included for managing school iPads.
Cons: Updating the OS on devices is not that easy.
Pete E. · Head of IT Services · Education Management · April 9, 2025
It was great software product overall in price-wise!
Pros: I would say the best pros about Jamf is easy to use! It is well organized, which is really easy to use for all, and other big pros are pricewise. I think this software is the lowest among the software I’ve been using. You will never regret using the software!

Cons: Like other software, like Grammarly, they have pro software that we have to pay more for some documents.
Gen k. · graduate student · Higher Education · April 2, 2025
Pros: Ease of use and jamf teacher!! Our teachers were mind blown when we demonstrated taking all apps away from students except what they allowed. Instant buy in.!!
Cons: Too simplistic for some work flows. Also most documentation is for jamf Pro.

Pros: The pricing is relatively low compared to a lot of the competition. That said, the features are pretty full and well rounded. The fact that they have other programs and systems that seamlessly integrate into Jamf School makes it an amazing value.
Cons: There are still limitations that any MDM has. Those great seamless integrations do add up pretty quickly. I'd have to be really nit-picky to start to list the little things that I would wish were different, so I'll just say it's great, but not perfect.
Anonymous User · MDM Specialist & Field Technician · Education Management · August 7, 2023
Pros: It was great to enroll iPads and chrome books using this software. You could customize each device based on grade level and curriculum.
Cons: It takes time to learn the software and the settings, but it gets easier with time.
Donna S. · Customer Service/Tech Support · Printing · March 2, 2023
Pros: We can control all of the students iPads on our network. We can limit websites and/or apps.
Cons: Disowning iPads and removing Jamf is a pain! Multiple steps involved and we were having to do extra steps as well. I believe there are cheaper options out there that do just the same or better.
Erin C. · Teacher · E-Learning · July 14, 2022
positive
Pros: Pushing out apps to groups of ipads is very easy once the groups are set up
Cons: Sometimes glitchy ands some ipads in the group do not receive the apps that were pushed to them.
Miri R. · Director of Educational Tech · Education Management · April 26, 2022
Managing our iPads with out the need of touching each one, saves us countless hours!
Pros: Integration with our fleet and users was seem-less.
Cons: Creating the scope to issue apps to groups was more difficult than expected.
michelle B. · District IT Coordinator · Education Management · September 14, 2021
Pros: I like everything about the Jamf suite of products
Cons: some of the more advanced things will take time to learn if you are trying to teach yourself.
Anonymous User · Tech III · Education Management · September 9, 2021
Good
Pros: I love love the inventory and being able to lock down a stolen device.
Cons: Its very difficult to learn, not much contact from anyone from Jamf unfortunately.
Erika O. · Tech Support · Education Management · September 9, 2021
Greater control over iPads
Pros: The web browser gui is very easy to use. We also use Jamf Pro for our Mac, and while it has a very similar layout - it has what I call death by a thousand clicks. Doing fairly simple things in Jamf PRO call for multiple clicks on the same screen to get to what you need. Jamf School is more streamlined and a bit faster to make quick changes.
Cons: more api functionality. There are a lot of good functions for compiling information about iPads, but Id love to see all the functions that exist in Jamf School also exist in an api format. Better control over Macs - would love to switch to Jamf School for our MacBooks, but right now, Jamfpro blows Jamf School out of the water TOO much in my opinion. being able to install packages easily within Jamfschool would almost be enough for us to switch over.
Corey R. · Dir of Instructional Technology · Education Management · September 9, 2021
Jamf has completely revitalized how we use our ipads, because we had this structure in place we're able to seamlessly transition to elearning.
Pros: I was able to research, facilitate, and implement this product with no previous MDM experience all while working as a special education teacher.
Cons: I wish to see the jamf teacher capabilities grow.
Shayla D. · LBS · Education Management · September 9, 2021
Overall, it has streamlined our iPad management, enough to where I have confidence our technicians can put their hands on the platform and solve issues without needing much further escalation. The UI is very easy on the eyes, and the options available for device management make the day-to-day task of solving issues with devices much easier.
Pros: Very easy to deploy to managed devices, very easy to manage/troubleshoot devices.
Cons: It was a bit of learning curve having everything tied to the serial/device instead of a user/username, at least for the way it is implemented in our district. It can also be frustrating only having the option to contact Jamf School support via the support chat feature, especially when all the CSRs are busy or if you need assistance after hours.
Ryann S. · MDM Administrator · Education Management · September 9, 2021
We are very satisfied with Jamf School
Pros: Being able to manage ipads from a webpage
Cons: It is a long learning curve. For advanced features it takes a very technical person
michael f. · Director of Technology · Education Management · September 9, 2021
Pros: The UI is easier to navigate. It does more of what we want than Pro.
Cons: That it is user-based is different then our current setup making it a bigger switch than hoped.
kevin n. · Computer Guy · Education Management · August 19, 2021
We managed all of our student and staff iPads with Jamf School.
Pros: The software is easy to use and is not overwhelming.
Cons: I wish the software handled locations a bit differently. I also wish there was a way to see if a device has been wiped.
Kenna S. · Technology Coach · Education Management · August 19, 2021
Pros: The biggest part of Jamf School that I like is the ease of use.
Cons: One thing I did not like was Implementation process.
Chase E. · Lead Technician · Education Management · August 4, 2021
Pros: great value and features, we use it daily
Cons: I think it can be better with adding a new feature section
Arman R. · ICT network admin · Information Technology and Services · July 20, 2021
so far so good. No real issues, no red alarms, I want o continue to use it testing.
Pros: the tools set, the integrations with Apple and Jamf software.
Cons: Nothing to complain about at this time of the use and testing.
Xavier V. · mobile systems engineer · Higher Education · July 19, 2021
Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk) has been a great MDM solution for our school district's needs.
Pros: The price can't be beat. There is a perpetual license option that our district has used for every device we purchase.
Cons: As a district with both Jamf Pro and Jamf School (formerly ZuluDesk) deployed we do miss some of the more advanced data collection features available without custom scripting in Jamf Pro.
Eric W. · Technology Specialist · Education Management · November 12, 2020
All of my interactions with Jamf school have been extremely positive. Always very helpful with minimal wait time for support.
Pros: Once the system is initially configured, the system becomes highly scalable. It is easy to push apps and updates through the interface, which is also very intuitive. In all honesty, the software provides so many features and it is customizable at a very granular level.
Cons: The initial configuration was a bit confusing, however, the support I received was superb in getting the environment correctly configured.
Joshua M. · Director of Technology · Education Management · November 11, 2020
I really enjoy the using Jamf School to manage our school devices. It cost for perpetual licensing makes it a very affordable option for schools. Thank you!
Pros: Ease of use. I like how easy it is to set up profiles. It is also very easy to use VPP with Apple School Manager to push out apps to our devices.
Cons: packaging apps to distribute is a bit time consuming.
Nathan H. · Technology Coordinator · Education Management · October 1, 2020
Pros: This is a tech coordinators dream! It allows us to push out apps, control settings, update, remote reset. Basically we could become a zero touch institution. I love that we can package our apps and push them out. I also love the one time fee for the lifetime of the device instead of paying a per year fee.
Cons: There is a learning curve but once you get it, it's awesome. Would like to use it to remote into computers (remote screen sharing)
