I won't make a decision until I see what each offers and the prices etc. I expect BYOD will be more cost effective but I'm not sure by how much. That's typically how I do it. I like to have all of the pieces together and see a complete picture. It would be great to see what it offers.

i mean are you guys ipads BYOD or company owned?

that makes it much nicer
GFI has different policies for company owned vs byod. -

There are many MDMs out there, there are quite a few to pick from.
Just remember that iOS by it's nature, limits what you can do as an admin. So certain things will be impossible.
Have you tried the Cisco MDM? It's free, using it for a few devices at the moment.

I love it. If BYOD causes any concern, use that as a way to find something wrong with your network. If your network is secure, BYOD causes no concern. BYOD is only scary when the network is insecure and we are hoping it doesn't fall apart.

That's a good way to look at it SAM. I'm going to try to adjust my outlook!

I'm checking it out right now. It's free for 100 devices from what I'm seeing. Unsure of how much it costs past that. Anyone have a round about number?

Is Cisco MDM descended from Meraki MDM?

-
We used that for a long time. It's pretty good.

Do they have a per device cost? I'm trying to get a handle on it. I wonder if they do pricing for non-profits.

The last I heard was that the Meraki MDM was free for up to 100 devices or so... Is that still the case?

That is still the case. I have 200 devices though

@wirestyle22 Bummer... Meraki is pretty good for free. The licensing costs beyond 100 devices, however....

I'm calling them to get pricing. Wondering if they do something for non-profits.

Their sales department must be getting slammed. Had to leave a voicemail for them to contact me later on.

Too bad, used to be free for unlimited.
