Mosyle Business

One platform for Apple devices at work

Mosyle Business is built for organizations that run Apple hardware and want to deploy, manage and protect it from one place. The vendor describes it as an Apple-only platform made of several integrated applications, covering macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS and watchOS. It says more than 65,000 organizations of all sizes use its products.

Management beyond standard MDM

Standard mobile device management handles enrollment and settings. Mosyle says its management goes further, with proprietary technology that carries out and automates tasks on the devices, using a lightweight macOS agent and its own iOS and iPadOS apps. It also describes a program for migrating from another management tool.

Endpoint security for Apple

A second layer covers security. The company says it provides automated compliance, prevention and remediation designed for Apple devices, and answers the growing amount of malware aimed at them without hurting performance.

Encrypted DNS and web filtering

An encrypted DNS service, which was in beta when the older page was written, filters and protects web traffic on the device rather than on the network, so protection follows an employee who works away from the office.

Identity and single sign-on on the Mac

Its Auth feature takes over the macOS login window, so an employee can use the same work credentials on a Mac that they use elsewhere, with a company's single sign-on provider. The site also notes a partnership as a device compliance partner for Microsoft Intune and readiness for Okta Device Trust.

Apps and patching

The line includes management of applications and patch handling. The vendor positions the whole as a way for technology teams to adopt Apple devices more simply and reduce IT costs, and describes a trial and a guarantee of success, which are its own promises.
