Apple network management
I work for an IT management company. We've been using Labtech so far for PC management, but find it's sorely lacking in an Apple-based environment. Most of our clients have small networks of 1-5 PC's and macs, so home clients. Managing those Macs is proving to be a problem.
What we need from Macs:
- Remote access, with an audit of access.
- Status of backups, notifications regardless of success or failure
- Status of security software, preferably with reports on a schedule
- Hardware report:
kept up to date
sent out on a schedule
notification when hardware changes or is failing
Software report:
kept up to date
sent out on a schedule
notification on any software events
I was looking at Apple Remote Desktop, but the reviews on the store make me think it would be a waste of money, any thoughts?
Any suggestions for a Mac alternative to Labtech or a bunch of apps that would do the trick?
