Jamf Introduces Jamf Fundamentals, a New Plan to Help Growing Small-Midsized Businesses Manage and Secure their Devices

Jamf Fundamentals pairs market-leading, powerful mobile device management technology with new capabilities for protecting, connecting, and empowering small-midsized businesses with Apple

Jamf, the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, introduced Jamf Fundamentals, a new plan built for the unique needs of small-midsized businesses. Jamf Fundamentals combines Jamf’s market-leading, powerful mobile device management (MDM) technology with new capabilities for protecting, connecting, and empowering an organization’s end users through malware prevention, password sync, Self Service functionality for Mac, and the ability to deploy any iPad and iPhone app, custom profiles and macOS packages – all designed for simplicity so no additional training is required. Jamf Fundamentals is available today.

Jamf exists to help organizations fill the gap between what Apple provides and the enterprise requires. Jamf Fundamentals is the most simple and complete solution for small-midsized businesses that are growing and need to manage the entire Apple ecosystem while solving pain points around deployment, user access, and security. In addition to supporting the Apple MDM framework, Jamf Fundamentals goes far beyond MDM capabilities to provide the most complete yet simple IT solution for small-midsized businesses needing to manage and protect their Apple ecosystem while securely providing access for employees who need to simply get work done.

Powerfully manage devices, with a seamless and intuitive interface 

Much more than basic-level management, Jamf Fundamentals combines the core MDM capabilities of Jamf Now with other powerful features so administrators can simply manage their organization’s devices.

• Management features: Jamf Fundamentals includes the core MDM capabilities small and midsized businesses need, including industry Blueprints, pre-built management templates which allow admins to customize groups of devices, deploy specific apps, restrictions and settings as they see fit.
• Custom Profiles: Custom Profiles give users the benefit of being able to deploy unlimited configurations (including VPN configuration) without sacrificing the simplicity of Jamf Now Blueprints.
• macOS Packages: Teams can take Mac management to new heights with macOS package deployment. They will be able to deploy macOS packages including offering apps not currently listed in the Mac App Store.
• Self Service: This on-demand Mac App catalog, powered by Jamf Self Service, provides a list of organization-approved Mac App Store and third-party apps, effectively giving end users instant access to the resources and tools they need.
• Custom Applications: With custom app deployment, you’re able to deploy and manage any iPad and iPhone app your team needs. Custom apps developed in-house or by a third party are easy to deploy.
• Support: Fast and reliable service is available through chat, email and phone support from day one.

Protect your organization and users from outside threats

Apple-specific malware is on the rise, and Jamf Fundamentals brings in elements of Jamf’s security solutions that are solely built for Apple so organizations can keep their users and company data safe.

• Malware Prevention: Jamf Fundamentals helps prevent known Mac malware, viruses, trojans, adware, ransomware, and more from executing on organizational devices.
