MacOnboardingMate Reviews & Product Details

MacOnboardingMate (MOM) is a wizard designed to streamline Mac onboarding into a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution or to orchestrate its migration between MDMs, all under the remote supervision of IT support. MOM provisioning over the Setup Assistant or Login Window allows a Mac to be onboarded even before the user’s first session is opened. Key integrations with Installomator and Homebrew ensure that the latest software versions are installed during onboarding, while mSCP helps IT support improve security posture and assess a Mac’s compliance score before it is assigned to a user. Slack and Teams integrations provide real-time visibility during workflows. A MOM Setup license allows a Mac to be onboarded either from an existing user session or the Setup Assistant. In the first scenario, the Mac is already in production and enrolled in the MDM using Device Enrollment or Automated Device Enrollment. In the second, the Mac is new or reset and enrolled using Automated Device Enrollment. A MOM Switch license enables a Mac to be migrated from an active user session and enrolled in a new MDM using Device Enrollment or Automated Device Enrollment. This critical process is central to any MDM migration project, requiring migrated devices to retain their Automated Device Enrollment configuration when applicable. The MOM Switch license also includes all the features of the MOM Setup license. MOM operates in two execution modes to run these workflows. The Launcher mode is used when MOM is run manually outside of an MDM. In contrast, AutoLauncher is used when MOM runs from an MDM, either automatically or manually via Self Service. For example, when a Mac is migrated between MDMs, MOM is executed from the original MDM using the AutoLauncher mode. MOM is multilingual, currently localized in English and French, with translations easily built from a template to support users’ preferred languages. MOM is a turnkey solution requiring no scripting knowledge for implementation or upgrades. If needed, MOM can be extended with custom scripts executed at key workflow stages.
