Hello
We are currently using Casper, but there is talk of alternative products by those higher up.
Absolute Manage has been mentioned, Anyone used this?
If so are there any benefits, negatives for this against Casper?
Thanks

We used to resell and support it. However its no longer Absolute Manage, it was sold to a company called Heat and is now called Heat software. It used to be quite good but nowhere near as good as Jamf Pro, was quite a way behind in features and had quite a poor UI. have not used it since the change of ownership but Heat look more Windows Enterprise focused.

My company has this now and we are moving to jamf. It's not a bad product for small environments, but in my case the need for a larger scale jamf crosses a lot more t's and dots more i's

It seems they might be shutting down the product according to this Heat Software LANrev SE - https://twitter.com/DavidKnuth3/status/788509685368389632
