Hello Dennis,

I recently (about a year ago) began work in Addison Northwest School District (Vergennes, Waltham, New Haven, Addison, Ferrisburgh) and inherited a fleet of 90+ iPads.  That number has since grown to 120ish.  My predecessor had setup Meraki (free legacy version) as it will allow you to manage UP TO 100 devices.  I am not converting a small number of iPads to Mosyle as a trial and have been impressed with the product...it is as good if not better than Meraki AND they have great, knowledgeable and friendly tech support.  This summer I am most likely converting the remaining iPads (90ish) over to Mosyle.  I am happy to share my knowledge of either product with you.  Perhaps a phone call would be more desirable and easier to convey information efficiently.  I was new to iPad management in general when I started working for this district...I would say I rate about a 6 out of 10 now depending on what type of features and functionality you were hoping to deploy with an MDM.  My cell number is (802) 398-7033 and our district is on break this week so maybe I can chat with you on Thursday or Friday if that is a good time for you?  

Let me know!

So, with Apple server continuing to be degraded, we are looking into other options for iPad management. I'm looking for suggestions between Apple configurator, Mosyle and Meraki MDM or a different one if there is a better solution. I would prefer a free version of something if available. 

We will have a small number of iPads, around 30 or so and we currently have an Apple VPP account.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
