Jamf acquires NoMAD

@deanhager congrats on bringing a class act product into the Jamf fold. I welcome that announcement and given the strong support your org has, I’d love to see a version of the pro product integrated into the Jamf management framework with full-blown support.

I had always wanted to ditch AD binding but could never justify the on-site engagement for Apple Enterprise Connect on a k-12 school district budget. If you combine the NoMAD Pro product into Jamf Pro and offer full-blown support for Jamf customers, I can consider “ditching the bind”.

Is there any advantage to customers who already use JAMF and NoMAD in their environment?

also any advantage to switching from apple enterprise connect....??

@pdanielewski I think the biggest advantage will be @mactroll has a team of people to help better the product :)

Seriously amazing. Great job Jamf!

Awesome!

So exciting!

Looking forward on how Jamf will "bind" NoMAD.

Do we lose the caribou logo?
I'll tear my work's Jamf Pro server out if you guys kill the caribou!
;-) Not really, but can I at least go buy a NoMAD t-shirt before any logo changes?

We were a week away from buying NoMAD enterprise support, we will no hold off and see how JAMF play this.

We bind to AD, we have to as we use device certs, I believe NoMAD only supports user certs. So how will NoMAD still support customers who have to bind but want to use JAMF to alleviate external password changes and FileVault issues that seem so common with bound Macs, with mobile accounts using FV.

This is great news! Go @mactroll

now if we can get Casper Remote to work over the internet, the world will be a better place. Jamf should acquire BOMGAR!

Great news!

This is awesome!

We're still binding because of AD certificates, so uhhh let me know when you need test users for Jamf Connect ;)

This is awesome. Nomad is a very solid company and I setup their Nomad Pro and Okta integration at my last company. Great news.

@deanhager - Will Jamf continue to provide the near-real time, nimble, and responsive support and bug fixing of NoMAD Login+Okta, NoMAD Pro, NoMAD Pro Chrome Extension, DEP Notify, etc. that @mactroll and @macshome have singlehandedly provided?

@MatG Have you looked into SCEP proxy integration into your Microsoft CA?

We've been able to issue machine certs for internal WiFi without binding. Works great for iOS too.

We've got Enterprise Connect deployed. It works. Its from Apple. Its a Prius. It gets you there. #meh

NoMAD is a whole nudd'a animal. Is a Plymouth Hellcat. Pulling wheelies. Raises heart rate. #awesome

Jamf and NoMAD is the whole package. Its a Nascar car, driver, and team. Winning races. #varooom

@mactroll

What does this mean for organizations who have purchased Support plans from Orchard and Grove for the open-source products?

@merps No, I don't get to touch it. I'll ask the team.

@mscottblake In the slack channel they said all support contracts with O&G will be honored.

This quote makes it a hard sell to my superiors. Basically, we paid for support, but it is now being offered for free, so I am wondering what is meant by honored.

NoMAD and NoMAD Login will continue to be available to the open-source community. Jamf will not only continue to develop the open-source solution, but now offer free chat support from our support organization.

$24 a seat? Still priced out with over a 1000 machines and constant growth. :(

Would love to see some stats on NoMAD usage versus size of Mac fleet - what's the breakdown, etc.

Hopefully they acquire Autopkg/Autopkgr too. to make up for the features we paid for and already not usable like Jamf Imaging and JDS.
