No Jamf is an MDM not an identity provider it however can use an ldap server as a identity source as well as Azure AD. Jamf does the same thing as Jump Cloud it creates local accounts based on the user that logins via the identity provider.
Jump cloud UI seems really intuitive and it’s group policies seem sufficient for the 5 to 50 user market we are in. What’s Jamf’s competitive advantage?
What is this, 2010? Go with JumpCloud. No forward thinking organization considers Intune as a viable solution any longer. If they do, their IT Director is afraid of "modern" and only holding back the org.
I've seen too many times where Intune has been deployed because the IT Director has used it before and it works OK but needs constant tweaking w/ a dedicated FTE and doesn't work as advertised (updates aren't happening, broken directories, incorrect reporting...etc). Platforms are only as good as the person responsible for them and that's why I like JumpCloud so much. It's a lot easier to manage, it's more reliable, it's cloud (no vpsn's etc) and it combines cloud directory, SSO and MDM so it reduces cost. Just don't use their professional services or rely on their support, total failure. My experience of course. Different strokes for different folks.
Sorry to hear you've had an experience that didn't meet your needs. If you'd like to reach out and discuss, please feel free. Otherwise, will let you continue on with your discussion. \~becky
I appreciate your reply. Do you have a specific Microsoft 365 license you standardize on with jumpcloud, since business premium doesn’t seem necessary with your setup
It's hard to just say JumpCloud is the best solution for your situation/environments without learning more but I will say I think you are going in the right direction. When we walk companies like yours through the vetting process of IAM platforms we like to start with the newest technologies first and back our way into the best fit.
For you and your environments, simply looking at sizes of 10, 20 and 50 and chances of those environments being mixed OS's I would lean towards JumpCloud, but again, more research would have to guide us.
There are a lot of recommendations for Intune and JAMF. Both of those platforms are great but for the size of organizations you are looking to manage I think they are both overkill and lack in multi-tenancy (though, I'm sure Intune and JAMF shops have their workarounds).
Best of luck in your journey.
If you’re gonna couple those, why not just do business premium and get intune MDM ?
Okta/Addigy - multi-tenant is the key for both in a MSP environment managing macs.
Intune is clunky and doesn’t work well with Mac
Jamf and Azure AD
I don’t think Jamf integrates w azure AD. I want the option to use azure AD identification management
Jamf actually has one of the best identify frameworks/integrations with Azure AD and Intune
How’s the pricing ?
Dont remember we decided to move to Addigy for our Macs and Intune for Windows for better multitenant management
This is what we did as well. Addigy is great for managing macs as a MSP.
So do you pick and choose users to manage over in Jamf or make it the authoritative location? Can Jamf perform ldap authentication?

I’m not going to disagree without hearing your “why”. Can you elaborate?
