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.

Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Jamf School are exceptional, as it is amazing to manage the entire iPad fleet while pushing applications and controlling student safety, which is a concern we take seriously."
"The overall usage is the most valuable, and it's a clear upgrade from our previous system."
"The solution protects all our Apple products like iPads and MacBooks."
"Many features of Jamf School, including automated device enrollment, have helped us manage multiple devices."
"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."
"It was straightforward to initially deploy it."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Sendbird is really valuable because I was able to create a chat from scratch in two to three days and a custom chat in a week by implementing things from scratch."
"Sendbird has positively impacted my organization because we do not have to build custom chatbots with code, and we could do no-code deployment, which is simply straightforward."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"Sendbird has positively impacted my organization by giving the users of my product a feeling of community that we wanted to give, which has really increased the app usage time."
 

Cons

"Having everything centralized would be a preferable update."
"There is room for improvement with the security aspects, like scripting."
"Jamf Safe Internet also needs some improvement because it is very technical."
"The product must improve its price."
"If you start the system update in Jamf School, you cannot stop it."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Their teams could be better in sync, as I had a very bad bug wherein all three SDKs had a problematic initialization order that required a bug fix version to be released after 17 email exchanges to finally get them to agree that the fault was on their side, which was pretty painful."
"For Sendbird to be improved, I would say creating more multi-platform SDKs is essential."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jamf School is an expensive solution."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
