Likelihood to Recommend Fleetsmith is well suited for companies with a lot of Macs, Mac minis, Apple tvs, etc., that are all over the place (different offices, states, countries, floors, remote employees, etc). It makes the management of these central where it would be almost impossible otherwise.
Read full review This is a great solution if you're a Google or Microsoft 365 workspace. SSO is a breeze to set up for users of the portal, employees and it works across the board. Other services have it as an optional addon that requires significant lift to set up. Mosyle has it as a checkbox. Click the box, sign in with an admin account, make a few other toggles and you're done.
Read full review Pros Fleetsmith does a great job of being unobtrusive on managed devices. After initial deployment, one might never know it’s there except when it prompts to enforce a software update. Fleetsmith has sensible defaults and relatively few decisions for the administrator to make; for most applications and configurations, it’s sufficient to enforce a minimum version. For more complex use cases, I suggest falling back on Fleetsmith’s ability to install tools such as Puppet and run arbitrary shell commands. Read full review Integrated solutions - SSO, Endpoint Security, Device management all tied together in one pane of glass. SSO is a first class citizen in Mosyle. Ease of setup and use. Anyone can get this up and running. Support is responsive and easy to find within the same portal. Read full review Cons We were told that this was in the works and it would be implemented at the beginning of the year 2019. That has still not happened and whenever we ask about this functionality we cannot get a good answer. Management of devices that are already in the field—we were told that in order to use Fleetsmith as we would like (pushing apps to devices) we would have to get each device and set them up from a Mac. Integration with Windows. Read full review Price points. When they first started, they were definitely less expensive than other options. Now they are about in-line once you get to Fuse and compare to other options. Read full review Usability The installation steps are very easy and the UI for admin panel is user-friendly. Enrolment all based on Gmail accounts and the import function is there to fetch the user accounts. Navigating in Fleetsmith admin panel is simple and clean.

Read full review Alternatives Considered The primary products we checked out were Mosyle, JAMF, and SimpleMDM. In the end it really came down to the simplicity of our needs and the simplicity of Fleetsmith's approach being in tight harmony. We kicked the tires, hard, for about a month and then dove all the way in.
Read full review Easier to use and more capable than Meraki SM by far! More capable than
Jamf Now . Easier to use than
Jamf Pro and provides most if not all of the same features at a very competitive price. I'd recommend this to anyone new to MDM, or anyone considering moving away from an existing MDM setup
Read full review Return on Investment Lesser cost for managing device, instead of getting more manpower to do it manually. Lesser security threats (which will cause financial damage) as all devices are configured according the the company security policies, such as firewalls, media management, app security updates. Read full review When we were using Mosyle it was a joy to work with and use. I'd switch back if I didn't already have a full MDM environment up and running. Mosyle development and support are responsive. When I first set this up, I made a feature request that I had ready for use within a 3-hour turn around. Read full review ScreenShots
