These groups of frontline managers often fall between IT teams and device end-users, and are sometimes response for the business outcomes of mobile technology. Jamf Mobile Assist app supports multiple modes based on high level use cases. The app currently supports two different modes. Device Helper Mode: Triage and initiate remediation workflows on target devices such as clear passcode and device wipe Assigner Mode: Quick on-device setup though user guided assignment workflow

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Jamf Mobile Assist at every 6 weeks against UTM Remote Virtual Machines's every 4 months. UTM Remote Virtual Machines's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
