Workplace One (Formerly Airwatch) - Multiplatform Will docs that mention mac mdm often mention Jamf? Yes.Īll the big options out there that I know of (since I was just re-doing this exercise for a new company):

Will you be able to easily find people to hire that already have Jamf knowledge? Yes. But will you be able to find community help? Yes. It's been around a long time, it has a big community and it's become the defacto name in mac fleet management. I'm planning on signing up for a trial for one of the MDM's and trying to wing it tomorrow with some spare macs we've got.Īsk 100 macadmins and you'll probably have at least 75 come back and tell you they use Jamf. I'm really new to IT so if anyone has any advice on proper user management I'd appreciate any input. Give and repeal ability to install programs or other users privilege's on the flyīe able to deploy new applications to a group or users * sounds too good to be true *

What I'm hoping to accomplish for this is:Īssign users file shares / printers tied to their account or group Just looking for any tips or advice on what may be right for me although both JamF and Kandji look very similar. I went down the rabbit hole of setting up GPOs and I see the potential to help in my job but sadly as far as I know GPOs don't work on Mac so I've checked out MDMs like JamF and Kandji. At work I know we set up a very basic Active Directory on our windows server PC with users, groups and a file share. I'm new to the IT field, no formal education just learning through youtube videos and reddit.
