We are lucky that we have an all Mac fleet, but the combination of Fleetsmith and all Macs is a delightful IT deployment environment.

The support team via tickets or in Slack are super helpful, responsive, and all around a great group of people to help out if needed.

Very strong MDM solution - but scalability can be hard with complex needs/environments.

The biggest issues I have encountered come with the implementation of profiles in FS and the lack of custom package deployment.

As for the applications catalog, it's got some standards in there, but it is very limited.

Lack of integration with volume app purchasing, and the sale of the product to Apple which resulted in massive loss of functionality.

Pricing is very attractive (free) with less than 10 assets, impossible to beat.

The ease of completing tasks such as archiving, reports and application integration make Fleetsmith fun to use. The solution is stable and free of any annoying lag or sync issues.

Lack of functions we have a lot of suggestion to a product that we want to see in future.

I generally have had a great experience using Fleetsmith at SunFunder. The user interface now looks pretty cool.

Profiles are easy to setup and it does help to get started very quickly. Installation is also very straightforward which is GREAT as opposed to some other tools we assessed.

The software is the perfect balance of enterprise ready and user friendly - almost zero setup time, easy to manage and keep running smoothly.

They are constantly working on new features and hopefully they tackle some of the biggest feature requests soon but it's the best value for money for SMB that I've ever worked with.

The ability to deploy a number of key pieces of software from their catalog was great and there we some good levels of control over device settings including key escrow for disk encryption.

The on-boarding process is made significantly easier. When the security of some apps is compromised Fleetsmith takes quick action to ensure safety of its users, like recently with Zoom.

There is no roadmap from Apple to say what the plans are.

I've been happy with the basic uses of Fleetsmith and the team is amazing.

I really love Fleetsmith's UI and ease of use. No training is required to figure out how Fleetsmith works.

Easy to setup, Excellent support, great concepts how do mundane tasks in a fun way.

Fleetsmith has great integration with GSuite and a clear and straightforward management dashboard to deploy and manage assets.

After being acquired by Apple, App management disappeared and made it a poor product.

Overall, Fleetsmith has been great to work with. Product support is responsive and friendly.

If you ever tried finding MDM software for company computers, you will understand why I love the product so much. Super easy, super effective and completely secure.

The inability to view installed applications per device. Not able to audit users & groups within each device.

It's great for us because we don't have a lot of users on macs and it is a great way to organize our inventory for them there.

The UI is good and getting started is really easy. Having lots of integrations is really nice too.

I looked around for some time before finding the right MDM, but since landing on SimpleMDM I've been pleasantly surprised with the easy to use and elegant solution that's exceeded my expectations.

The Groups should be collapsible. Exports should be able to contain everything (the group field is missing) and there's no filter/modification/selection on group view.

The tracking unfortunately stops working if the app is deleted.

We're an outsourced US-based outsourced IT firm with clients in the medical space. I initially used Meraki to manage one of our clients but had all sorts of problems.

SimpleMDM has been a lifesaver to manage our large amount of devices deployed to customers.

What tipped the scale for me in the end was the friendliness and willingness to help that I experienced with the SimpleMDM staff.

Relatively easy to use, responsive support staff.

Sound library of features and they appear to continually improve the app. Once I got the hang of the app it seems to be quite solid.

I work with this software about 3 months, it is a very good service, easy to use and i think also very complete.

The process to get pricing was also a pain. Meraki: Much like Airwatch it was painful to get pricing.

We're using SimpleMDM for managing about 20 kiosks which works great. Support is very responsive and helpful.

When I first starting enrolling devices I was a bit lost and enrolled a few devices incorrectly. I had to some searching of my own to finally get the devices to enroll correctly.

Their pricing was also competitive, though really, I'd pay a premium to use them because they were the only solution that was really easy to use and worked for our requirements.

We previously used Meraki's complex MDM system and were continuously faced with problem after problem because of issues on their side. Not to mention the over-complicated interface they use.

Using this software made us save a lot of time when deploying our iPads to customers, and gave us the ability to lock down the device so they could only access the things we wanted them to.

It's a solid product, but a few small changes would make it awesome.

Airwatch: I can tell there's a lot of functionality here but it's such a pain to use. I had to make so many clicks just to get to what I needed to get to.

Their staff was extremely helpful in resolving the issue, offering to retrieve old data backups they had to recover a certificate I had deleted.

I had a hard time finding the features I wanted.

The interface quickly became unruly and the configuration options too general and limited as we got going.

I loved the fact it basically provides all of the functionality of a JAMF setup without me having to own and manage a server.

SimpleMDM is much better than what else we've come across. It's a combination of well designed software and is easy to use.

Customer service is responsive and more knowledgeable than we are used to.

Not to mention Simple's price point is less than half of that of Meraki's, and the customer service is fast, friendly, and intelligent.

SimpleMDM has been a fantastic tool to use to manage the thousand of devices we have deployed in the field. The features to customize the different components required for our deployment are amazing.

I like SimpleMDM because the price is competitive, it just works and I feel that I'm using the best in breed product in the MDM space. Just make sure you don't need to support Android.

Bushel: Much easier to use, but I had problems with it not always working. Sometimes devices wouldn't update.

Simplemdm is easy to use and customise for our needs. We're also happy with the reliability and customer service.

Cheap, intuitive, basic features are very easy to use. Support is quick to respond and offers helpful advice/solutions.

I have a very positive experience with SimpleMDM and recommend it strongly.

Questions are dealt with quickly and effectively by a highly knowledgeable support staff and new features are rolled out on a regular basis. Very pleased with my experience thus far.
