Today marks the official release of the long-awaited AppsAnywhere v2.5, which includes our key integration with Jamf Pro to enable university IT to support Mac devices.
We're thrilled to announce that with v2.5 of AppsAnywhere IT admins can now fully support university-owned and BYO Macs. That's thanks to our new integration with Jamf Pro, the leading tool used by our customers in Higher Education to manage Mac devices.

By utilizing Jamf Pro (formerly known as Casper Suite), universities and colleges can now deploy native Mac apps to any enrolled Mac device, on-demand. This integration builds on our key belief that no single software deployment technology can satisfy all use cases within Higher Education IT, but rather a combination of multiple tools. Thanks to our unique approach (we call it Unified Application Delivery), universities can bring all their apps and delivery technologies into one place, for any user on any device.
The updated Jamf Pro V.10, which was formerly known as Casper Suite, is built for Apple device administrators and scheduled to come out in the first half of 2017. The Jamf Pro Installer for Mac also allows you to create your initial JDS instance during a fresh installation. For more information on JDS instances, see Jamf Distribution Server Instances.

Best Way to Manage Apple Devices
Having worked with a few other MDM systems JAMF is clearly one of the best and our cost for the system is pennies in the grand scheme of things.
What are the pros?
Jamf Mac
Central management of apps, devices, books, in house and apple content. Easy management of OS updates and more. Even the ability to customize the deployment of our filtering system was nice. Suikoden rom ds.
Jamf Casper Suite
My previous system with the same school was painful. The old MDM required so much hands on time with devices that I spent a large amount of time just on student iPads each summer. JAMF freed that time up and I spend far less time in the management of iPads
What are the cons?
There was a learning curve on the book deployment system that ended up costing us some in licenses from Apple because the first set of instructions were not super clear. Once we worked with a tech from the company all was cleared up and now we have a solid process for such deployment.
