Jamf is onerous to use. Are they still requiring two days of training with a purchase? Last time I tried to purchase the product, they would not let me skip two days of training. As a fast growing <10-engineer startup at the the time, I had negative time to spare — spending two working days in training for a glorified CPanel-like mishmash of obtuse software was a non-starter.
We ended up going with a small MDM vendor, which was just barely passable enough to compliantly manage a fleet of Macs with somewhat minimal time investment. Still, it came with fully employee spy mode turned on (website monitoring on by default) and had promised features, such as FDE key escrow, that barely ever worked in practice.
So thank god for Apple Business Essentials, this is a blessing for every startup that runs a fleet of Macs.
