Zero-touch, over-the-air onboarding

Automated over-the-air onboarding gets staff working with email and apps in minutes. Customizable with branding and messaging. Apps are downloaded based on role and other granular criteria.

OS updates made easy

Updates for macOS are managed with the software update enforcement capability via declarative device management. Date, time, and update version are selected; users are alerted multiple times that the update is coming, and the update is enforced at the specified time.

Platform single sign-on

Platform SSO (Single Sign-On) securely syncs device and IdP logins, allowing users to log into their Macs and company resources with a single password. Designed to alleviate password proliferation and improve the employee experience.

Low-code automation

Freestyle Orchestrator is the low-code/no-code automation engine that allows admins to get involved in leveraging complex workflow automations for macOS.

Conditional access security

Workspace ONE assesses device and user context in real-time to evaluate security risks on macOS. It can grant access, enforce MFA, auto-remediate issues, deny entry, or remotely wipe lost or stolen devices.

Answer common questions about Mac device management

Mac device management is the process of configuring, securing, and maintaining macOS devices at scale using mac MDM and apple device management software. It helps IT teams manage Apple devices consistently, enforce security policies, deploy apps, and keep macOS systems up to date across the organization.

MDM for Mac uses built‑in Apple frameworks to deliver remote configuration profiles, security policies, app deployments, and automated updates. Modern mac mobile device management solutions integrate with Apple’s ecosystem to streamline onboarding, apply compliance rules, and manage Macs without requiring manual intervention.

Declarative Device Management (DDM) is Apple’s next‑generation management framework that shifts more intelligence onto the device. With DDM, Macs can react to state changes instantly, apply policies faster, and stay compliant even when offline. This makes Mac management software more responsive, scalable, and reliable.

Modern Mac device management platforms automate macOS patch management by monitoring update status, enforcing OS compliance, and scheduling updates across large fleets. Automated patching reduces security risk and ensures every device receives the latest macOS features, fixes, and vulnerability protections.

A strong Apple device management solution should offer zero‑touch enrollment, automated configuration, app deployment, Mac endpoint security controls, reporting, and support for Mac MDM software and DDM. Organizations should prioritize tools that simplify how they manage Apple devices while maintaining strong security and compliance.
