XFA vs Jamf
Comparing Apple-focused device management with privacy-first device security for BYOD and unmanaged devices
What is XFA?
XFA is the device security solution that knows about every device used for work, informs users about security risks, and verifies compliance with security policies at login — all without invasive control or centralized device management. XFA is built for modern organizations that support BYOD, contractors, and distributed teams, and need device trust without owning or managing devices.
What is Jamf?
Jamf is an Apple-focused mobile device management (MDM) solution designed to manage and secure company-owned macOS and iOS devices. It enables IT teams to enroll devices, deploy configurations, enforce policies, and control applications across Apple environments. Jamf is typically used in organizations where devices are owned by the company and full administrative control is required.
Why choose XFA over Jamf?
XFA supports all operating systems, not just Apple
XFA provides support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, allowing organizations to secure every device used for work with a single solution. This is especially important for modern teams where employees and contractors use a mix of operating systems. Jamf is designed specifically for Apple ecosystems, which can require additional tools to cover non-Apple devices. XFA reduces tooling complexity while delivering consistent device security across the organization.
XFA supports BYOD and contractors without device enrollment
Jamf relies on device enrollment and ongoing management, which works well for company-owned devices but creates friction for BYOD and external users. XFA secures devices without enrollment or ownership, making it ideal for personal laptops and contractor devices. Organizations can enforce device security requirements without taking control of the device or asking users to hand over administrative access.
XFA prioritizes privacy by design
XFA verifies device security posture at login and does not perform continuous monitoring, remote control, or invasive inspection of personal data. This approach respects user privacy while still giving security teams confidence in device trust. In contrast, device management tools like Jamf are designed for deep control, which may not be appropriate for personal or external devices.
XFA is hands-off and user-driven, with no ongoing device management required
XFA is designed to operate with minimal IT involvement once policies are defined. Users are guided to secure their own devices, and security posture is verified automatically at access time without requiring IT teams to manage configurations, deploy profiles, or maintain device state over time. This hands-off model reduces operational overhead and avoids the ongoing maintenance associated with traditional device management tools like Jamf Pro, making XFA easier to scale across large and diverse workforces.
XFA provides visibility before enforcement
XFA automatically discovers all devices used for work (managed, personal, or unmanaged) and gives teams a clear view of their device landscape before enforcing policies. Users are informed about security issues and given guidance on how to resolve them, enabling gradual and transparent enforcement rather than sudden access blocks.
XFA works with any identity provider
XFA integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Entra, Okta, Google, and other identity providers, allowing organizations to enforce device security policies regardless of their identity stack. This flexibility makes XFA future-proof and easy to adopt alongside existing authentication and access infrastructure.
XFA enables fast self-onboarding from anywhere
With XFA, users can onboard their devices themselves in minutes, regardless of location. There is no need for IT to preconfigure devices or manually guide users through complex enrollment steps. This self-onboarding model reduces onboarding time, improves user experience, and helps security teams scale without increasing operational workload.
