Centralized iPad management has transformed student safety and classroom learning experiences
Similar to Jamf Protect, AI capabilities would be an amazing addition. Jamf Safe Internet also needs some improvement because it is very technical. We are currently blocking websites based on URLs, but it would be better to have an option to block websites based on keywords instead of URLs. While this is somewhat technical, having this capability would be better because it is always an issue to find a way to block sites based on keywords instead of URLs. Regarding room for improvement, additional features such as AI capabilities and an improved blocking mechanism would be beneficial. Jamf School has the feature to support Chromebooks as well, but because of the limitation of keyword detection and blocking, we are not using it and instead use another tool. The Chromebook support is provided, and I have heard about Windows support as well, though I have not tried it yet. Perhaps next year I can explore it. Currently, we are using Jamf School with Apple devices only, specifically iPads.

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.
