But Mac integration could use some work.
A recent survey has found that your IT department thinks a Mac is more manageable than a PC or Chromebook. According to a survey of IT professionals (go.macworld.com/jamfeasyios), Macs and iOS devices are easier to manage when it comes to security, device configuration, software deployment, and support. Of those surveyed, 62 percent said the Mac is as easy or easier to deploy than a PC, and 93 percent said it’s as easy or easier to deploy an iPhone or iPad over another device.
While most IT professionals found Apple’s products easier to manage overall, that was not the case when it comes to Mac integration. Only 36 percent (go.macworld.com/16surveyapplent) of IT professionals claimed that it was easy or easier to integrate Macs into other environments. The survey is based on responses from 300 IT professionals and was commissioned by Jamf, the software management firm that focuses solely on Apple devices.
