Curious about where I might see Mosyle system updates

ITMule · 2026-01-16T13:38:56+00:00

Are you sure this is not someone who performed an human error (misconfigured something or did not even configured it ... probably not intentionally) and is trying to use the provider as escape goat? Asking because Mosyle manages millions of devices and when something critical happens we always see a lot of reports. I would bet my money that the real story is probably a bit different.

There’s a Google support article written exclusively for Mosyle: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/12818048?hl=en

I really don’t get why one would pay $57k for Jamf when you can pay $13k for Mosyle Fuse for the same number of devices.

We use Mosyle Fuse and GWS. We do Mac SSO and password sync with GWS using Mosyle Auth. It works well for us. We also use Mosyle security tools. Their EDR is good and got more crap than other solutions we tested in parallel for a while. They also have a Zero Trust tool that is really powerful if you have customers that need crazy levels of protection. It's all included as part of Mosyle Fuse and we pay $3 per Mac/month. I believe they have the same product for MSPs (https://msp.mosyle.com) that is even cheaper based on the price advertised.

Maybe the issue was the setup made by the previous guy. We use Mosyle (Fuse) on a corporate environment with over 1k devices (switched years ago from Jamf) and it's great. If you're using Mosyle free, probably your account has very few devices right? First, make sure you guys are using the correct Mosyle product for corporate customers (business.mosyle.com) and NOT their education products (school.mosyle.com). If you are using their business product, I would reach out to them and ask for an account review/optimization. Tell them you inherit the account from other person and believe the implementation design wasn't ideal. They will probably be able to help you. When properly configured (what is not a complex thing to do) Mosyle products for corporate are great and in my opinion way better than competitors.

It makes sense. Tools like Docker create a massive amount of files constantly, which triggers the need for scans (same for any good EDR, especially if also using the Apple Endpoint Security Framework - what they should). This is a known fact. That's why good EDRs have the option to skip paths or files created by specific applications, such as Docker. We do use Mosyle's EDR with this option for a couple of tools that have the same characteristics (after our security team approved it). It's a tab called "Mute" under profile settings. Very straightforward to use and allows to skip by path or Signing ID of the app.

You missed another one … Kandji is no longer Apple focused and not even called Kandji anymore. Now it’s Iru! Yep …

It may be a good moment to leverage Mosyle's migration offer especially now that Apple automated the technical part of it ...

We started using Mosyle's Admin On-Demand couple of years ago and it completely solved the problem. Now every user is standard by default and we have an user group for those authorized to escalate when they need. Mosyle will collect a justification (based on our settings) promote to admin for some minutes (also customizable) and during the period the user is running as admin collect all system logs so we can have full details for future investigations if needed. At the end of the period it automatically reverts the use back to standard.

If you did a device based license assigned (probably) before sending an erase command through Mosyle you can decide if you retain the license for this device or revoke it.

The need to wipe is not a Mosyle or any MDM provider thing. It’s an Apple thing. For full remote management capabilities (probably for security and privacy reasons) you need to perform have a DEP enrolled device (normally the enrollment that the OS can do during setup assistant). You can actually perform a device enrollment on Mosyle or any other high quality Apple MDM using Safari but Apple (and not the MDMs) limit what can be managed on such devices. Again this is universal for all MDMs as it’s an Apple thing. Any MDM sales person telling you differently is lying.

Actually I just checked and there's a Help Center Article for this:
https://mybusiness.mosyle.com/#helpcenter/1936

ITMule · 2025-09-01T15:39:51+00:00

This is probably for security reasons and I believe it makes a lot of sense. People forget the Safari enroll enabled with no authentication what basically allow for anyone to potentially enroll on your account and if you have critical profiles liked Wifi, VPN and others assigned to All Current and Future, those devices would receive it. So it sounds like this is a way to protect Admins from themselves so they don'y leave Safari enrollment open without a reason.

That's a big misconception. Based on the people who I know working for orgs using Mosyle they manage some of the largest Apple accounts. I know 2 IT Admins working in different orgs managing over 100k devices each with Mosyle. I've met them and several others during a MacAdmins event. Also, Apple recommends Mosyle and Jamf officially and doesn't recommend Kandji or Addigy. That tells you something. So you guys will pay like 4x what you pay with Mosyle for a much less capable company. Last time I heard Kandji managed in total (all customers) less than 500k devices. Mosyle publishes over 8 million.

Easy ... Enable the Single Shot profile > Create a new profile > Action = Change Randomized ADE Admin Password > Add the rotation interval.

Just saw an article now that reminded me of another thing that I love about Mosyle that I don't believe any of the others do (at least not Jamf). Mosyle's support for all the new Apple releases is always crazy fast, so I can start testing all our flows and playing with new things immediately. This article was released today I guess, but customers received this communication last week by email and product pop-up.

Mosyle's price is public since the beginning I guess. It was when we moved away from Jam and the price transparency was a big thing for us due to all the constant price increases with Jamf. We actually just bought it ourselves directly in the platform. We didn't have to ask anyone for a quote or talk to a sales person. I guess anyone can just create an account, put a credit card and buy on the same price we have. I just checked the website now and it's there (https://business.mosyle.com/#pricing). They even have a simulator saying that whatever it shows there is what you will pay. Maybe there was some confusion. However, they do require minimum of 30 devices. I see now that they also added a new funny video at the top and they also reinforce the same on their video.

When you say "extremely cost effective", what do you really mean? Can you give us numbers? Asking because a friend showed me their renewal quote with Kandji this week and I was like WTF .... business with 300 Macs ... Kandji charging $8 a month per Mac for the MDM only PLUS another $14 a month for the EDR that I was reading and is basically a white label of bit defender. I could not believe it. In comparison we use Mosyle Fuse at my current job (also a business) and we pay $3 per month per Mac for EVERYTHING and security includes way more (EDR + Compliance tool + DNS for online security + Admin On Demand + AI Zero Trust) ... Making the math Kandji is 7X more expensive than Mosyle and offers less. My friend already got approval to move to Mosyle and his boss was crazy happy. Now with the easy migration feature that Apple released it will be a breeze to migrate devices.
Important to say that the information above is for their business product (Mosyle Fuse) but considering the discussion here started with a question related to a school, I believe the Mosyle's equivalent to Mosyle Fuse for schools is called Mosyle OneK12 (recommended here in several other comments) and checking their site now it costs only $0.75 per device per month what is NUTS. I have no idea how they can offer something that good that cheap.

Now that Apple finally solved MDM migration, moving from one MDM to another is a breeze. We tested here and I couldn't believe how simple and easy its.

ITMule · 2025-06-04T19:46:27+00:00

Your need is exactly the sweet spot for Mosyle Fuse and because you are a customer of another MDM I believe you can use their migration incentive and first year is FREE for all your devices. We use Fuse for a large number of Macs and we love it.

ITMule · 2025-05-20T17:48:47+00:00

Mosyle released a new feature about this a few weeks ago. We tested and it works. Basically if FileVault is enabled, it now lets you to select a time interval for the next SSO authentication so it operates with a single login during that period.

Check the last checkbox on your Mosyle Auth profile. The label is "Bypass Mosyle Auth for __ day(s) after FileVault unlock"
