## 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.

SimpleMDM integrates with Apple Business Manager so new devices ship directly to end users already configured — no imaging, no hands-on provisioning. For mixed environments or BYOD programs, it also supports Apple Configurator, link-based enrollment via email or QR code, and User Enrollment with APFS-based separation of company and personal data.\n\nOnce devices are enrolled, Dynamic Groups handle the organization automatically. You define the criteria — OS version, device model, group membership, custom attributes — and devices sort themselves in real time. Configuration profiles, scripts, and remote MDM commands apply to those groups, so changes to a policy or a software deployment reach the right devices without manual targeting.\n\nFor macOS software management, SimpleMDM includes a hosted Munki integration that handles the full deployment workflow — AutoPkg, NoPkg, and a self-serve Managed Software Center for end users — without requiring you to run your own Munki infrastructure. The RESTful API connects SimpleMDM to the rest of your stack, and scripts can be scheduled or triggered on demand.\n\nWhat makes SimpleMDM different from alternatives like Kandji or Mosyle is its native Apple MDM architecture — no proprietary agent — combined with straightforward per-device pricing and API access included at the base price. There's no device minimum, no add-on tiers for core functionality, and no chatbot-first support.\n\nSupport is US-based technical staff who know Apple MDM, available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST, with an average response time of 30 minutes or less. SimpleMDM is part of PDQ's product portfolio, which also includes PDQ Connect for cloud-native Windows management and PDQ Deploy &amp; Inventory for on-prem Windows environments.\n\nPricing: $2.50 per device per month, no minimum. Monthly and annual billing available. 30-day free trial, no credit card required.\n\nLanguages supported: English","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/67b7ab93-9296-4ebf-ab50-671ff6466a45.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","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, Apple, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/106431/simplemdm#breadcrumblist","@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"}]}]}
