Chose Jamf Protect
I find that all of the products have the same features; however, Jamf Protect is stronger if managing macOS devices. Also, it is one license so what you pay covers all of the features and does not require additional licenses for features like USB device control. The CIS …

Chose Jamf Protect
Sophos was our main endpoint for all our windows and macOS devices. However with the newer releases of macOS Sophos started to become more problematic to deploy. Moving over to Jamf protect was the obvious choice and cost wise a lot more beneficial for us. It's monitoring and …

Chose Jamf Protect
ESET was a massive resource hog and more often than not blocked legitimate things like creative cloud products. Admin interface was a nightmare to navigate and clunky to use. Delays in getting a stable product that worked on silicon and for new OS was an other major factor in …

Chose Jamf Protect
In some aspects, Jamf Protect was far superior to the others mentioned above. The only downside I can see is that it is only macOS which could be a problem for hybrid environments.

Chose Jamf Protect
Jamf Protect is much lighter on system usage. It also has exclusive access to the threat protection baked into macOS. This lets Jamf Protect leverage the great work Apple is doing, and gives admins a way to extend that as well as view reports.

Jamf Protect
Likelihood to Recommend
The main reason we went with Jamf Protect was because we wanted a dedicated macOS security endpoint. Is was easy to implement and migrate over from our previous endpoint provider. As a university we have lab macOS devices that multiple users use. So we have Jamf Protect profiles that block the use of external drives and other other profiles that allow it. We different user accounts requiring different access this can get a bit messy when deploying the config profiles at login for each user that signs in.

Cons
  • We also have JAMF Safe internet for iPads. I would love to see this same simple idea in Jamf Protect for the iMacs

Usability
Jamf Protect is easy to manage. It is a separate interface from Jamf MDM which is nice for Security Operations teams. It allows Security teams to manage only the Security aspects without having to dig through all of the MDM configurations. For exception uses cases, Jamf Protect does provide options to customize settings where needed.

I find that all of the products have the same features; however, Jamf Protect is stronger if managing macOS devices. Also, it is one license so what you pay covers all of the features and does not require additional licenses for features like USB device control. The CIS compliance aspects generally look better in in Jamf as compared to Crowdstrike.
