Jamf School is an Apple education technology solution purpose-built for educators. can use the existing ZuluDesk product, seamlessly switching to Jamf School once it’s available. Until it is available worldwide, schools outside the U.S. Created from Jamf’s acquired ZuluDesk technology, Jamf School will be coming to other countries around the world soon. Today, Jamf announced the availability of Jamf School in the U.S., built on proven Jamf Cloud infrastructure with in-product access to Jamf Support. Jamf School – Empowering Teachers with an Out-of-the-Box Solution With a mission of helping schools succeed with Apple, Jamf has an education technology solution for any school of any size in the world, backed by its world-class support and Jamf Nation community. (Now, using Intune for compliance management in conjunction with Jamf is pretty slick.MINNEAPOLIS, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Managing 10 million devices for schools across the world, Jamf, the standard in Apple management, extends its commitment and leadership in education with a series of advances across its portfolio of products – Jamf Pro, Jamf Connect and the newly launched Jamf School. I feel it would be a such a struggle and require some much effort, any cost savings would be negated by the extra management effort. In all honestly, i would have a hard time recommending anyone going to Intune for macOS management at this point. Though, to be fair, Intune does have some really nice integration with Office & Edge management. Most of what you configure in a Jamf Policy does not exist in Intune. (You can, however, automatically install applications to computer groups.) For example, you can not scope an Application to be in Company Portal (for user installation) to a group of computers. Computer do not check in very often (every 8 hours I think.) The other option is a non-authenticated enrollment and have the users log in to Company Portal after enrollment. Intune does not have the Enrollment customization that Jamf has. If you use any form of MFA for your users, you would have to disable it for enrollment via ADE. Enrollment - Microsoft is VERY behind on updating their Automated Enrollment profiles. You can only get output one time, regardless of how many times the scripts run. Scripts - Same as EA’s, you can run scripts through Intune, but their usefulness is limited. Extension Attributes - Intune has recent introduced their own version of Extension Attributes, but they are very limited (I have heard that people have looked at Munki to support application installation if they are forced to use Intune) ![]() Be prepared to see a lot of failures unless your installation packages are pretty simple. Also, reporting of installation success or failure is very limited. You have to repackage the installer using a special tool. Application Installation - Intune does not allow direct upload of. I have used both Jamf and Intune (granted my Intune experience is mostly testing and validation.) Here are some of the limitation that I see immediately when I start to talk about Intune for Macs: I posted this on the MacAdmins slack last week, so I might as well post it here as well. Microsoft will say Intune is fine as an MDM for Macs, so CIOs & CFOs wonder why should they pay for Jamf licenses as well. Most companies I have worked with look at Intune because they already get it included with M365 licenses they already pay for. I also feel you "get what you pay for" with Intune. (I think Simple Management is generous for Intune and still would be considering Jamf). Although I think it is a little too kind to Intune. That link is about a good basic overview as I have seen for a comparison.
