Microsoft Application Server (deprecated) vs. Mosyle

Microsoft Application Server has been incredible this past year during COVID. Previously I would have said that we could go without it, but after this past season, I’m glad we have utilized it. Without having this software set up prior to COVID, we would have been in a tough situation. I mention COVID a lot because we were able to continue our work almost seamlessly this entire year.

If you manage an Apple fleet, Mosyle is great value and and easy to use tool. I've used several MDM providers and by far Mosyle is a great partner to work with. Payload's are easy to create and they have a great graphic showing what the status of your payload deployment is

• Microsoft Application Server has proven to be highly reliable and effective at deploying to all of its clients.
• Application performance is surprisingly good and responsive even in bandwidth-constrained environments and generally very reliable.
• All software programs are manageable from a single location, even when bandwidth is limited.

• 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.

• Some security hotfixes and general release updates require restarts.
• We wish it supported more applications out of the box.
• Thin client support would be great for MS Application Server.

• 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.

I have found Microsoft Application Server to be incredibly easy to use. I have used dozens of similar programs and have always struggled to navigate through all the functions. So far I have been able to adapt and learn this software with ease. I rarely run into a problem that I wasn’t easily able to move forward on with a few tips.

It's completely hosted in the cloud, the dashboard is easy to navigate and powerful to use. I don't have much time to poke around in different tools, but I'm rarely frustrated logging into Mosyle and getting the job done. I usually have positive vibes when using Mosyle for management. No massive UI overhauls, but still changes to include new features.

Stability is one of the first things we consider when evaluating software. MS Application Server has been rock solid and has reduced the time that our IT staff dedicates to maintaining our legacy applications.

It has a similar feature to what Microsoft Application Server has but at a greater cost and also having to deal with another vendor when we could use a full Microsoft Stack for better training and support.

Mosyle's cost is something that has these other vendors beat. On top of that, the feature set and ease of use is by far the biggest reason why someone with an Apple fleet should use Mosyle

• Our ROI has been great since it has enabled our IT staff to have a central location to perform application updates which enables us to save time and money.
• Deployment is very easy since the internal applications that required constant updating are now updated in one central location.
• It's a lot easier to be within compliance protocols requirements.

• 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.
