Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enforce OS updates on devices that are offline or haven't checked in recently?

Yes. Addigy’s agent remains active and responsive even when macOS MDM services are unresponsive or a device has missed check-ins. When the device comes back online, enforced update policies are applied immediately. This closes a common gap in interval-based MDMs like Jamf, where delayed check-ins can leave devices unpatched for hours or days.

Can IT teams schedule update windows to avoid disrupting users, and how granular is that control?

Addigy lets you define specific update windows, defer major upgrades, and push minor security patches separately — with real-time status tracking per device. You can target update policies by group, department, or individual device, giving you more granular control than broad fleet-wide update waves typical in competing platforms.

What happens when a macOS device doesn't meet the minimum requirements for a new OS version?

Addigy flags ineligible devices in your compliance dashboard and excludes them from incompatible update policies automatically, preventing failed update attempts. You can then target those devices with the latest compatible OS version, keeping them as secure as possible without manual triage.

How does Addigy's DDM-based OS update enforcement compare to Jamf's or Iru's update management?

Addigy supports Declarative Device Management (DDM) for macOS 14+ and iOS/iPadOS 17+, enabling enforced update deadlines with user-facing deferral controls — just like Jamf and Iru. Where Addigy differentiates is its automatic fallback to traditional MDM for older OS versions, ensuring your entire fleet is covered without managing two separate update workflows.
