And there\u2019s a lot riding on the efficacy of your mobile device management<\/a>: employee productivity, data security, and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, IT admins and MSPs need an MDM platform they can count on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if you\u2019ve been thinking about making a switch, keep reading \u2014 we\u2019re covering the pros and cons of two popular options, Addigy and Jamf, and recommending an alternative: an all-in-one MDM and IAM solution that works on any device with any operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Addigy is an Apple device management and monitoring tool that\u2019s been on the market for the past decade.
