  • 1.  Is Altiris a viable option for Managing Macs today?

    Posted Jun 04, 2018 11:32 AM

    I noticed that the documentation refers to very old articles (Mac OS 10.7). I was wondering if anyone is using Altiris to manage macs today. Does it work with Apple DEP? Are you able to configure zero touch deployments?

    Hi,

    The compatibility matrix will be on the link below and should give you more info on your questions:

    I didn't see a compatability matrix. This is patch management. I'm wondering if it can be used as MDM working with Apple DEP.

    I don't think there is a way to use Altiris with DEP.  Based on this documentation: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC7336.html I don't think there is any MDM functionality in Altiris, nor does it work with DEP.  I don't think it supports APNS.  It is good for inventory and it can push software and policies.
