## Overview

### Key benefits of SimpleMDM

 SimpleMDM provides full support for the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and  the Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) with device-level assignment. &#10;&#10; The solution's iOS supervised mode allows additional configuration and restriction options such as arranging and hiding apps, activation locks, and force app installs and updates.&#10;&#10; The platform alerts users of issues concerning Apple IDs, device permissions, licensing and enterprise certificates, and can recover from them automatically.&#10;&#10; SimpleMDM provides a powerful API (RESTful JSON), providing organizations with access to their account and devices, and integration with existing infrastructures.&#10;&#10; Apple supervision allows for even greater control over devices through SimpleMDM than is generally allowed by iOS.

## Reviews

### "Great MDM and easy to use." — 5.0/5

> **Nick** | *18 January 2017* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to install&#13;&#10;Simple to set up
> 
> **Cons**: Would like to be able to run more reports
> 
> Easy to set up and use. You can set different groups for company vs personal phones. Control only the installed apps you want.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Tracking the phones work great. Only recommendation would be to have more reports to run.

### "Great software for deploying Kiosk iPad's for our software" — 5.0/5

> **Kailen** | *13 December 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software allowed us to easily adopt multiple iPads and assign a profile with a click of a button for mass deployment. I really liked the ability to use custom attributes, which allowed me to have one app configuration but dynamically update it on a device level.
> 
> **Cons**: It was difficult to work out where everything was initially, but with great documentation and using it for a while it was easy to get the hang of.
> 
> 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.

### "Reasonably easy to use for a less experienced user" — 4.0/5

> **Yuriy** | *15 December 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Considering I was not involved in deployment or at any point of setting it up, and only stepped in as admin at a later stage it was relatively easy to use and learn the basics
> 
> **Cons**: you need to have good understanding of deployment of managed devices and fixing issues that may arise, when some complex situations come up. Customer service is quick to reply and follow up but you need to dive into guides yourself.
> 
> Easy to use when everything works, when it doesn't get ready to dive into "how to" guides.

### "SimpleMDM Review" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *14 December 2022* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We like the ease of use as it's very intuite and it's accuerate and reliable.
> 
> **Cons**: It's excellent and could only be better if it also supported android products to cover all the tools used by our employees.  That of course is not the focus of this tool.
> 
> Excellent.  I was involved in selecting this tool, setting it up, administering it and interacting as an end user.  Overall we love it.

### "SimpleMDM for Mac OSX" — 5.0/5

> **Luke** | *14 December 2022* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to remotely link and deploy a MacBook has been a lifesaver, especially for Farewill where we support remote working even for new starters.Without it, I'd undoubtedly have to do a lot more travelling and it'd be much less of a seamless experience for our users.
> 
> **Cons**: While new to SimpleMDM, I'm still wrapping my head around deploying some software that isn't quite "off the shelf" and it's not immediately obvious to me what needs to be done, and where but I have no doubt I'll get better with time.

The platform enables users to deploy enterprise and volume purchase apps, initialize devices in bulk, and get greater control with iOS supervision features. \n\nOrganizations are able to secure company assets and data by hiding apps, blocking features and disabling functionality, to requiring passcodes, disabling dangerous iOS features, and more. SimpleMDM enables users to track real time and historic device location, enable lost mode on supervised devices, and view device locations on a map. Users can also get asset details such as battery life, storage capacity, serial numbers, iOS versions, and more. \n\nApple’s device enrollment program (VPP) and volume purchase program (DEP) allow users to purchase Apple devices that are preconfigured for SimpleMDM and supervision. Organizations are able to buy and install enterprise, custom B2B, and App Store apps on all devices at the corporate level, with or without using Apple IDs. The platform handles Apple enterprise app distribution with support for app upgrades, certificates, and provisioning profile management to prevent data from getting lost between upgrades.\n\nDEP allows new company-owned devices to enroll automatically, and BYOD (bring your own device) setups can be enrolled via the Apple configurator, web link, email, SMS or QR code. SimpleMDM supports a variety of configuration profiles including AirPlay Destinations, AirPrint Printers, calendars, contacts, email, passcodes, restrictions, single app lock, VPN, global HTTP proxies, web content filters, Wi-Fi networks, and more.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/67b7ab93-9296-4ebf-ab50-671ff6466a45.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.8,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":40},"offers":{"price":"3","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Mobile Device Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/613/mobile-device-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"SimpleMDM","position":3,"item":"/software/106431/simplemdm","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm#breadcrumblist"}]}
