This is why we stopped the deployment (the c-suite wanted it) and after thorough testing and wasting a LOT of time and MONEY the deployment/testing was stopped because of these above issues. They simply do not work everything from VPN client to A/V to file shares/network shares/printing/etc. I have used Mac's in a windows domain environment. The above referenced is a SOLID response that is well thought and on point.

There is no real benefit to the business in getting a MAC over a PC, but there is added overhead. Ĝompatibility between us and any vendor using a MAC would not be an issue as files are application specific and not operating system specific.With our PC’s our vendor can come and make the repairs onsite and if needed, we can easily assign another device to the user without compromising the user experience. In case of any issues with the device, we would need to ship it to an authorized repair center which would leave the user unable to work.Integrating the MAC to our Windows environment, while possible, is not streamlined and will require some minor changes to our backend.We would need to procure MAC versions of the existing security solutions to accommodate one device.

This will be a manual process that would need to be managed.

We would have to set up patch management, monitoring and security separate from the rest of our environment, which is currently mostly automated.A comparable PC solution is about $900 less. I have been thinking about what benefit a MAC will bring that a PC cannot provide and I could not come up with one. This uniformity and standardization is what has afforded us to keep the IT department lean and be able to resolve issues.īringing a MAC into the environment will disrupt that standardization. From the phones, to the desktops and laptops, down to the software. Through the years, I have spent a lot of time and effort in standardizing the technology at our company. After giving it some thought, I think I am going to recommend a Windows Laptop for this user. Text Let’s make some time to discuss this when you have a moment.
