Jamf Now Capabilities
- App Distribution. Buy apps through Apple’s Volume Purchasing, part of Apple Business Manager and distribute them wirelessly. Reassigning unused apps keeps your investment working for you, and no Apple ID is required.
- Email Configuration. Automatically configure company email accounts on all of your Apple devices. Jamf Now supports Microsoft Exchange, Google Mail, Yahoo! Mail, and any IMAP or POP mail accounts.
- Zero-Touch Deployment. Take deployment to the next level with Apple’s Automated MDM Enrollment, part of Apple Business Manager. Using Jamf Now with zero-touch deployment gets users up and running in minutes with a fully configured device — without ever touching it!
- Blueprints. Efficiency at its best. Start with a Blueprint to customize a group of devices, deploying specific apps, restrictions and settings. Set up additional Blueprints to support other devices with different configurations.
- Inventory Management. Keep track of your devices easily. Filter by device details like device assignments, operating systems information, serial number, applied settings or deployed apps.
- Asset Tag. Link your physical inventory to your digital records. Use custom fields for tagging relevant details.
- OS Updates. Manage operating system updates for Automated Mobile Device Management Enrollment with this powerful feature. Update a single device or push OS updates to all devices.
- Single App Mode. Lock your supervised iOS, iPadOS or tvOS device into a single app for a specific need, such as for point-of-sale or a kiosk.
- Passcode requirement. Take comfort in knowing your devices are encrypted and data is secure.
- Disk encryption. Encrypt the entire drive on a Mac with FileVault to protect your data with enterprise-level encryption. Store your recovery keys — you never know when you’ll need them.
- Restrictions. Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV restrictions allow you to manage preferences for your enrolled Apple devices. Customize settings on all enrolled devices and choose from a variety of additional restrictions.
- Lost Mode. Disable and locate a lost iPad or iPhone device without compromising an employee’s privacy. During Lost Mode, the disabled device displays a customized lock screen message and shows its location.
- Remote lock or wipe. Ensure lost or stolen devices don’t become a security threat. Disable the device until the passcode is entered, or remotely wipe all the data.
- Two-step verification. Whenever you sign in, enter both your password and a security code from your mobile phone to use this optional security feature, which adds an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
