Back to tutorials
What is JAMF?
JAMF is the market-leading solution for managing Apple devices (MDM - Mobile Device Management). It allows organizations to deploy, configure, manage and secure their Macs, iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs in a centralized and automated way.

Why use JAMF?

  • Apple specialist: Designed exclusively for the Apple ecosystem, JAMF supports new macOS and iOS features as soon as they are released.
  • "Zero-Touch" deployment: Integrated with Apple Business Manager (formerly DEP), a new device can be automatically configured for a user the moment it comes out of the box.
  • Complete management: Goes well beyond basic MDM, enabling script deployment, software package management (.pkg, .dmg), and a very detailed hardware and software inventory.
  • Self Service: Provides users with an enterprise "App Store"-style portal where they can install approved applications and configurations with a single click.

Prerequisites

  • A JAMF Pro instance (Cloud or on-premises).
  • An Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) account.
  • An APNs (Apple Push Notification service) Push certificate to communicate with devices.
