Nice write-up. Thanks for posting. 

Feel a little late to the Installomater party, but it's working great so far.

How often do you update the Installomater script? For example, from version 10.6 to 10.7, and beyond? Did you have any gotchas or issues?

@mvu Great question. The Installomator script does not update all that often to be honest. I try to stay current as much as possible. I have quite a few custom labels so it takes some time to compare/contrast to implement any updates. 

I haven't had any gotchas as of late besides a broken label here and there. 

If that happens just check the pull requests or ask in MacAdmins #installomator and there is already a fix or someone will help you fix it. 

We spin up Jamf instances for customers on a daily basis... Installomator is in almost all of them. Such a great tool. Kudos to @Armin (and all the contributors of course). And lovely write up as well. Thank you!

@Jordy-Thery 

When you spin up new Jamf instances, is Installomator the primary patch method? Or Jamf App Installers? Do you find the need to utilize both to ensure patch saturation?

Do you mix in Patch Management as well for other titles you have to manually update?

Good question, @mvu. 

Depending on the situation (and the scale of the deployment) we might opt to use Jamf App Installers as preferred patching method (and/or to just make things available in Self Service). Even in these instances we often have quite a couple of Installomator patching policies in use.

For our Jamf Setup Manager workflows we always use Installomator (via policies just for tracking) to deploy apps where possible.

Great, thanks for the info. Was curious.

The reason I ask is because I do find that I need to follow up Jamf App Installers with Installomater or Patch Management to catch stragglers. Example: Chrome, Microsoft, or Firefox updates.

I do have to say I haven't had any issues with using only Jamf App Installers to update browsers such as Chrome, Edge and Firefox. They are all patched within the specified timeframe.
