Automated device enrollment has transformed app testing and now saves significant setup time
I do not currently have a scale in which I have measured these parts, but I can tell you it has really saved a significant quantity of hours with onboarding speed and regression efficiency. I can say that Jamf School has achieved 70 to 90% time savings through automated enrollment and Wi-Fi certificates, which represents 90% less time on provisioning and ongoing device management. If I provide a comparison, before Jamf School, manual device setup per device included app install time of three to five minutes, test enrollments of five minutes, and certificates altogether taking 20 minutes. After Jamf School, with automated policy and environment, the overall process can be completed in three to five minutes. I believe the speed is quite perfect. I do not think there is currently any improvement needed for this aspect. If I use it further in three to four months, I will be able to tell whether any improvement is required.

It has significantly increased the amount of work we can perform, but blocking devices could be easier.
It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough.
