Over a decade after its inception, The Casper Suite was rebranded as Jamf Pro in 2017. IBM selected Jamf Pro to manage their Macs in 2015. Vista Equity Partners acquired a majority of shares in Jamf in December 2017. Jamf acquired three companies in 2018 and 2019 – Orchard and Grove, ZuluDesk and Digita Security, expanding its product portfolio to include identity and authentication management, an education-specific MDM, and endpoint security built for Mac using user behavior analytics. Jamf had a successful IPO on the Nasdaq stock market in July 2020, raising $468 million and valuing the company at around $4.6 billion. In May 2021 Jamf acquired zero-trust software vendor Wandera for $400M.
