Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Jamf yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Jamf across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“For most modern enterprises: Evaluate Jamf (for Mac/iOS focus) + Microsoft Intune” Qwen 3.7 Flash · UEM · negative prompt · first choice
“Mostly Apple → Jamf Pro” GPT-5.4 mini · UEM · comparative prompt · first choice
“Jamf is best-in-class for Apple-only fleets, but if you manage mixed/Windows environments, it's not the right tool at all” DeepSeek V4 Flash · UEM · negative prompt · alternative
“consider Jamf or Kandji if you want deeper Apple-first workflows, but those are usually less budget-friendly” GPT-5.4 mini · UEM · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Best for Apple-centric organizations, but lacks cross-platform support and physical asset lifecycle management.” Mistral Small · ITAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“If you are split 50/50 between Windows and Apple, avoid Jamf due to complexity and cost.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · UEM · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“often become prohibitively expensive once you scale past the initial license tiers” Qwen 3.7 Flash · UEM · budget prompt · soft negative
“Excellent for Apple, but not a fit if you need broad Windows/Linux management.” Perplexity Sonar · UEM · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Jamf. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 119 of the 144 answers that named Jamf and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Jamf's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Jamf, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at jamf.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
