Great MDM for its price

after Covid started we searched good MDM solution, so we selected between Intune (too small opportunities), Jamf ( too high price) and and accidentally saw Mosyle. There was few times lower price than Jamf, so we decided to try. There is very helpful and quick support and they helped to configure all needed features if we have issues.

PROS

There is easy to use management console. MDM has very good opportunities to manage macOS devices. Good price.

CONS

too small tech documentation, no community.

Reason for choosing Mosyle Business

Jamf pro = too high price.Intune = insufficient functionality

Reasons for switching to Mosyle Business

too high price

Mosyle "+" and "-"

We are happy to work with Mosyle for few years, nice new features, flexible configurations, good price

PROS

Mosyle always add new features, sometimes these features are global, like Mosyle Fuse, Mosyle Hardening&Compliance or Conditional Access managemet. These features makes our admins life easier)

CONS

Mosyle Business agent (Self-Service.app runs a little slow) Device Groups are not filled often enough Unfortunately, there is no Mosyle Community

Reason for choosing Mosyle Business

We started from Mosyle Business and it had enough functionality for us, but after release Mosyle Fuse - we tried and were wondered about new features, so switched there. Mosyle has the best price/functionality compared to other products that we have tested.

Reasons for switching to Mosyle Business

This product has maybe the best functionality, but it is overpriced. This product at the beginning of our tests didn't have login window with two factor authentication (~5 years ago), then they added this functionality but with additional payments, for us price was already high so we decided to check another products

Real Support in Busy World

My initial contacts were dealt with in a timely manner which is rare in these Cloud IT market. The setup engineer addressed all my concerns and knew exactly each issue I brought up and had many warnings and advice in doing the setup so that I could do the rollout with issues. Very professional and helpful. My only regret is not recording the Zoom call so I could review the setup because its a big overwhelming with so many features to a new user. In my case a Microsoft admin.

PROS

The over design is clean and well thought out. Has all the features that make it secure like Windows

CONS

Would like to see more support article in particular maybe kb section and video setup section.

Reason for choosing Mosyle Business

Mosyle is simply a better product and the support has been exceptional. Probably one of the most professional, patient, engineer that I have dealt with to date. I have been in this industry for 25+ years.

Reasons for switching to Mosyle Business

Product has many bugs. Cost is too high. Also the MDM does not work properly in China and have opened many cases with no resolution. There support is terrible.

The renewal process is awaful

PROS

The software itself is very good. Has most functions we need for Apple Device Management. And it is easy to deploy.

CONS

The renewal process is awful. They only support automatic renewal but don't give you the proper way to adjust the number of seats. They don't have account manager or customer success team to help user review the contracts, agreements and price. Everything go through the Support Ticket. For a SaaS targets to enterprise market, it is so inconvenient and so difficult to communicate. We tried to reduce the number of licenses but was not able to make it for weeks.

An MDM for the people

While I could go and talk about the specific features and things Mosyle can do - it's an MDM, if you are an admin reading this - you likely already know what it is and can do. What I will say thought is that Mosyle previously on it's website advertised that anyone can take a look at their offering and will not be harassed by salesmen, so we took it for a trial, played with it and evaluated it. We talked to support about our questions and ran a pilot for it in our organization. At no point was there ever a question posed to us to buy a license or to start paying - we were treated as fellow admins. Of course, we had problems, some were our fault, some were a bug/"feature" of macOS, some were on Mosyles end - but at the end of the day, we were just treated as fellow admins and this shows throughout the product. At no point I wanted to curse out having to use Mosyle, if anything I'm excited to log in to it, with Jamf Pro - I dread having to go into it's console. While we are still piloting Mosyle and a switch is not imminent yet - if it was only up to me - I would have switched to Mosyle in a heartbeat from Jamf. If you are an Admin - give Mosyle a try, if you don't like it - there is no commitment and you now have a free MDM to dump some random devices in for testing things.

PROS

Mosyle is, for the lack of a better word - like a breath of fresh air. Mosyle is simple to configure, simple to administer, granular RBAC, it follows the principle of keeping 1 profile to managing only a single setting group - making it extremely easy to troubleshoot/modify profiles. Your technicians will say "Thank You" when they can do nearly anything they can do over SSH/ARD with only a couple of clicks in the Mosyle admin panel.

CONS

Mosyle support is very helpful and answered any questions we had - but the support is based in the US and operate during standard US working hours, so support outside those hours is limited. Documentation is provided and available although it is not as extensive as the documentation from Jamf.

Reason for choosing Mosyle Business

Jamf Pro is the de-facto of Apple MDM. It features everything and the kitchen sink. But that does not mean it is good. Jamf struggles with it's legacy as an on-premise suite, while yes - it does have an extensive API and integrations and can do nearly everything - it is slow, clunky and just awkward to use. Jamf has too much baggage from old features that do not work, are deprecated or just don't make sense in an online cloud-native world (iBeacons anyone?). Kandji is the new kid on the block that promises to be the slick next-gen MDM that basically manages itself for you. If you don't have a complex environment then Kandji is for you. But if you are bigger than a startup or have complicated profile/security needs - then Kandji can be a problem to work in. Apple Business Essentials - Apples track record both benefits and stunts their offering. On one end - Apple can make changes to their OS to make sure their MDM offering works perfectly. On the other end - Apple is legendary for it's secret keeping so it's unknown what their plans are long-term or how will they react or if they will even listen to feedback from their users. Mosyle does not promise to be next-gen MDM that manages itself, it does not try to do absolutely everything possible under the sun and we know that Mosyle listens to their users. It is the middle ground, doing everything that matters while integrating it into the core product as best as they can. For cheap.
