About SimpleMDM
SimpleMDM is a mobile device manager for organizations that need to manage a large number of corporate or employee owned Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, and computers running macOS. The platform enables users to deploy enterprise and volume purchase apps, initialize devices in bulk, and get greater control with iOS supervision features.
Organizations 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.
Apple’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.
DEP 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.

The features to customize the different components required for our deployment are amazing. SimpleMDM offers great visibility, device management and device control.

Nothing really to complain about the software. Customer support has been responsive to all our queries, which are usually related to third parties changing device's features.

It's cheaper than mobileIron or Airwatch. Mostly, this allows us to more easily manage DEP enrolled iOS devices.
Pros
Cheap, intuitive, basic features are very easy to use. Support is quick to respond and offers helpful advice/solutions.
Cons
To be awesome:
For the love of god fix your UI - please....
The Groups should be collapsible. Exports should be able to contain everything (the group field is missing) and there's no filter/modification/selection on group view. Also, nothing can be copied, so multiple similar groups have to be created and then re-created by hand.
To be better than awesome (better than Airwatch/MobileIron):
The only big things we'd love to see is more control over user rights in order to assign tech staff to manage SimpleMDM without full access to all of the SimpleMDM, filter access to device groups, filter access to SimpleMDM controls/device commands.
The addition of file management on the iOS platform? That is, let us push files to the device for their ibooks or icloud drive environment.
Also, a backup via simplemdm to grab txts, contacts, pictures, etc... when moving a user to new hardware?
Sync to AD - pull in user data to be assigned to the device (email, contact information, etc...) Allow sending messages to a whole group instead of just one device at a time.
Allow the enabling of "Automatic" updates when new versions of iTunes Store applications are available to users.
Response from PDQ
Thanks for providing your feedback, Chad. We have taken it into account. The devices view has been updated to solve the problems you mentioned. We've also added admin permission classes, the ability to message groups of devices in one action, and automatic app updates. Thank you for your continued business!

I cannot stress enough how much SimpleMDM has helped us. With our continued growth, roll out of new software and growing needs, SimpleMDM meets and goes beyond our needs and expectations,
Pros
SimpleMDM has changed our day to day work flow for administration of Mac users. Coming from manually tracking and managing software, devices and all other data that comes along with that, SimpleMDM completely blew my mind. The fact that almost anything can be automated - from device enrollment to software installs, this has saved myself and team countless hours.
Cons
There hasn't been much I feel that the software is missing. It is very straight forward and support is great when we have questions. Perhaps a built in command to reset users passwords?
