Apple's Free Device Management: A New Era for IT Administrators

Apple has launched a free device management solution as part of its new Apple Business platform, a significant move reminiscent of Meraki's System Manager. However, while beneficial for small businesses, the free offering may not fully replace existing solutions like Mosyle, which currently manages over 45,000 organizations' Apple devices. IT administrators are advised to carefully evaluate their specific needs before transitioning entirely to Apple's new solution.
