I am incredibly happy with this system. I have met the developers, sales people, and other technical support teams while at the JAMF User Conference 2018 in Minneapolis before, and they are just a fantastic, honest, and high quality company. Their products are stable, reliable, and top notch.
Pros
I love that this software allows you to manage so many aspects of Apple devices. I have been a Jamf Pro admin for years, and when they offered Jamf Now for free for three devices, I was on board immediately. It allows you to set security policies from denying the use of a camera if you are in a sensitive area, to can a personal iCloud account be used on a business device. Setting WiFi profiles is easy, and enrolling the device is simple. This is a great solution for small business, churches, and even families that want to have a higher level of control of their devices than just Apple stock services.
Cons
After using the full capabilities of a full Jamf Pro system, there are many features that I would like to see integrated into their Now product. Jamf Now is not intended to be as complex and Jamf Pro is, but there a couple of things such as the ability to setup a WiFi profile to support connecting to an enterprise network. Right now you can only setup a PSK network. Not a big deal, but something that would be nice without having to upgrade you plan.

Jamf Now is a dream!
Reviewed on 2019/08/15
Pros
Jamf Now walks you through connecting your Apple Business account with the Jamf Now MDM server. Since this is set up, we can unbox, unwrap, and power on a device that auto-enrolls into the Jamf Now MDM server. There’s no need to plug in and apply settings through Apple Configurator and risk users trying to delete installed profiles.
Also- setting up the blueprints for your different devices and levels of access is so simple. It takes seconds to apply updated settings to a device.
Cons
I’ve had issues using the activation bypass code working correctly on a few devices. Not a huge deal, but annoying at the time. And locking of iPads once someone has turned it off and it’s in lock mode.
Reasons for Switching to Jamf Now
The simple UI and device set-up. The other systems were more complicated and time consuming. Jamf Now is more affordable price point as well.- Industry: Construction

It started great. Now it's beyond terrible. They have junior untrained people working at Jamf Now. And that is if you can even get ahold of them. If you do chances are they cannot help and will need to create a ticket which can take days to get an email from someone if they contact you at all..... It has become a joke.
Pros
I liked that the platform was pretty easy to use. However, the biggest reason I went with them is that they always answered the phone and a tech would help.
Cons
The customer support no longer exists with Jamf Now. They do not answer the phone and have split up their team so you need to call Jamf pro which is where they sent anyone with knowledge. When they answer they will not help you since they are not with Jamf now. so basically you are on your own.....
