CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise teams managing mixed Windows, Mac, and Linux fleets will get the most from JumpCloud Device Management because it actually handles cross-OS policy enforcement without forcing you into separate tools per operating system. The system agent architecture gives you direct device control from the cloud, and JumpCloud covers all three NIST CSF asset and access control functions across heterogeneous infrastructure. Skip this if your environment is primarily iOS/Android mobile or if you need deep endpoint detection and response; JumpCloud is device management and identity control, not threat hunting.
Small businesses with Apple-only fleets should choose Jamf Now for its zero-friction enrollment and self-service portal that actually gets users to comply without IT overhead. The cloud deployment means no server management, and Jamf's macOS malware research team pushes real-time protections that catch threats before they spread across your small team. Skip this if you need Windows support or have heterogeneous device ecosystems; Jamf Now is explicitly built for shops that've standardized on Apple and want to keep it simple.
