Jamf Holding Corp. was announced as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Management Tools on January 9, 2026, following the report’s publication on January 5. The recognition places Jamf among the top performers in a market that evaluates vendors on completeness of vision and ability to execute, underscoring the company’s strong execution and forward‑looking strategy in the Apple‑first device‑management space.
The Gartner report evaluated 18 vendors and awarded Leader status to those that demonstrate a clear vision for the future of endpoint management and the capability to deliver that vision. Jamf’s platform was highlighted for its deep native Apple integration, which enables seamless device provisioning, security enforcement, and AI‑driven automation across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. Gartner analysts noted that Jamf’s ability to keep pace with Apple’s rapid OS updates and security telemetry gives it a competitive edge over cross‑platform UEM vendors that struggle to match Apple’s ecosystem.
Financially, Jamf’s recent results reinforce the momentum implied by the Gartner accolade. In Q3 2025, the company reported revenue of $183.5 million, up 15% year‑over‑year, and a 24% non‑GAAP operating margin, driven by a 44% jump in security ARR to $216 million. The security‑focused ARR growth reflects the success of Jamf’s platform transformation strategy, which has integrated security and AI capabilities into its core offering. The margin expansion is largely attributable to higher‑margin security contracts and improved operational leverage as the customer base scales.
Jamf’s AI initiatives are a key component of its platform transformation. The company has introduced an AI Assistant in beta that allows IT teams to query device status and troubleshoot issues using natural language, and it has launched Blueprints for declarative device management, which automate configuration and policy enforcement. These features reduce manual effort, lower support costs, and accelerate deployment times, contributing to the company’s revenue and margin growth.
In the competitive landscape, Jamf’s Apple‑first focus sets it apart from cross‑platform UEM vendors such as Microsoft Intune and VMware Workspace ONE. Within the Apple‑specific segment, direct competitors like Kandji and Mosyle offer specialized management solutions, but Jamf’s broader security and AI capabilities give it a differentiated value proposition. The Gartner recognition signals that Jamf’s integrated approach is resonating with enterprise customers who demand a unified, secure, and AI‑enhanced experience for their Apple devices.
Henry Patel, Jamf’s Chief Strategy Officer, emphasized that the Gartner Leader designation validates the company’s execution and innovation. “Being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant underscores Jamf’s ability to execute today while continuing to innovate for the future,” Patel said. He added that the company remains focused on expanding its security portfolio, investing in AI, and deepening its partner ecosystem to sustain growth and margin expansion.
