Apple Business Essentials vs Apple School Manager

What is the difference between the Apple Business Essentials and Apple School Manager?

I use Apple School Manager for our fleet of student iPads with Securly MDM. We also have 200 staff Macbooks, as well as iPhones and iPads, that I would like to remotely onboard and manage.

Can I use Apple School Manager for my staff MacBooks?

Or do I need Apple Business Essentials?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.3

Apple Business Essentials is an MDM. If your MDM does not support macOS devices, you would need ABE, Jamf, Kandji, Mosyle, Jumpcloud, or one of the many others that does support macOS.
