OMG - $8.25/device/month - man - how can they justify these prices... this just seems insane!
JAMF Pro is $7.17. Same ballpark.
All these prices just seem outrageous.
Compare to Office 365 Intune...
Base price is $6, E3 is $8.74, and E5 is $14.80.
So compared to Microsoft's these prices are pretty cheap with free instead of $6 and $8.25 instead of either of the more expensive options.
Yeah, intune has been disqualified for me. Mostly, due to price.

It's crazy expensive.

I haven't looked - what does it cost these days? With inTune - it's the replacement for AV you've been paying for - so that brings a lot of capital to use from that. If you weren't using AV, then that's different.

AV is free on Windows, though. So the value approaches zero.
InTune ranges from $6 to almost $15.

Not managed AV - though - I wonder - can you get reports on AV status from salt? or some other thing like it?

Sure, there have been tools over the years that did that with free AV products. PowerShell should be able to do it, too.

Thanks for all the replies people, there are few options there for me to look at, which I will do.

DEP is your starting point if they haven't changed things in the last year or so.
Good luck getting this going. Takes at least a week to 10 days to get verified.
Yep. This is one of my biggest probs. I visit these places for 3-5 hours a week and if I'm not there to get the phone call, then no one knows what's going on, regardless of how many times you tell them.
I've looked into setting up VPP accounts, but you can wait for a week for a call from Apple USA and if the call is taken by someone who doesn't know what is going on, you have to arrange for another call.
A 15 minute job could take 3 weeks to complete.

Could you just use your personal cell phone as the initial contact number?

I can vouch for Jamf and intune.
but have you looked at APPLE DEP ?
depends on what you need to do but I found that the free DEP offering usually covers what you need and if you work with a channel partner they usually can pre-register the units for you in DEP program so you dont have worry about setup each unit when you get them.
Let me know if you ned more info on DEP, JAMF or Intune please.
I can help. -
@siringo
I have Apple engineers that can help if you need. -

I've used this in the past. Works well, and much cheaper than $8.
