This looks VERY promising - we have been looking for a simple App management solution for deploying apps to MacOS for years - and this even included updating. This still doesn't entirely account for the needs of MSP's - hopefully a multi-tenant solution is added down the line! I have experienced the same thing you have, where Munki is the go to solution. The issue with Munki, in my opinion, is that it does not scale very well across many customers, and still require manual labor to update apps. Question: I noticed that "enforcing" apps to be installed, required a script. Is it possible to "bundle" a script for multiple software? Having a lot of scripts, would be a bit cumbersome across customers.
Fantastic question - I'll test it out and check with Root3 also. They reached out to let me know that I could have done the Intune integration bit much easier too, so as soon as I've fixed my mic, I'll be recording an update :-)
Nice vid! However because Apple moves fast I believe you need an MDM for Apple devices only. I really like Kandji. The big ones don’t prioritize Apple but most of the time windows.
FYI, Intune provides zero-day support for any new MDM features released by Apple. This means that when a new MDM feature is officially launched, it will be immediately available to you in the settings catalog. Recently, Apple introduced support for platform SSO, allowing users to sign in to macOS using Entra ID. I bet all macOS-centric MDM providers are scratching their heads over this development.
Great review. I’ve been using Automox for the past few years, but with each Apple chip update the agent breaks. So this may be my replacement.

Looks great. Do you know how the tool handles updates when the app is being used?
no! but great question. I'm recording a new video to cover what I got wrong in this one, so I'll try it out.
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching!

What are the options for windows?
- We tried winget + Winget-AutoUpdate which is unreliable...
- Not tested, chocolatey...
