It’s time to break free
Yet for many, and certainly those in regulated industries in which privacy and security are important, Apple’s platforms do deliver the best toys for the task; you can see this in Apple’s accelerating Mac market share. The fact you can run Windows in VM on a Mac is just a chef’s kiss to support the platform advantage.
For many, the problem is the transition itself. They know that migrating from Windows to Mac will generate some problems — employees will need to re-learn the system, certain software and security routines that are taken for granted will have to be revisited, and there will inevitably be some forgotten apps and services that must be replaced. (To be fair, Apple knows this, too, and continues to improve enterprise deployments across its products.)
That means that any migration to the Mac will take a great deal of planning — or, perhaps, support from one of the many enterprise-focused Apple specialists that exist now, from Addigy to Jamf, Fleet to Hexnode, Kandji to JumpCloud, Mosyle, ScaleFusion, and more.
