What customers are saying

Addigy has been a game-changer for our Apple operations. Thanks to Addigy, 25% of our Apple device growth comes exclusively from clients onboarded through this solution. The time required for setup and client onboarding has been reduced by a factor of 4 compared to Jamf Pro. This efficiency led us to stop offering Jamf Pro mid-year and prioritize Addigy as our main Apple device management solution. We are convinced that Addigy is our best partner to achieve our goals with Apple products.

When I came into the IT leadership role, we didn’t have anything in place. I deployed Addigy and immediately had insights on all the Apple devices across our entire organization. Since then, not only have we automated our weekly updates, we reduced new employee onboarding from three-plus hours down to minutes!
