In the process of SOC2. All MDM tools feels outdated. We are small startup, we don't need to ship a device from Apple preconfigured, etc. Those features don't interest me. We are already 10 people and not growing that fast for device configuration to be a concern.<p>I just want the devices to stay secure and compliant, and also keep our SOC2 people happy. At previous work, I evaluated many anti-virus for Mac, installed CarbonBlack to 100+ people. All it found was a Windows virus on a Mac on a plugged hard drive over 2 years. Not dismissing, but our company got acquired, we deprecated it, we saw 2 more anti-virus which was only problems. I don't want to just check a checkbox.<p>So far, the closest I feel is Kolide of easier visibility & Slack based remediation (bugging people works), looked at Jamf Now and SimpleMDM. You can safely uninstall any MDM too, so I don't see what the point is unless the device is locked and encrypted. Don't want to be dismissive, just looking to hear ideas!
Lol small business and Mac no thanks. Mac cost more in hardware and in servicing. Cost to manage Mac devices is more in labor costs too.<p>Windows E3 & E5 licenses on cheap windows devices, yes please. Labor costs are minimal comparatively. Rollout is cheap and easy and you tick all the boxes for Government compliance no sweat.
