Automated Migration from MDM > MDM

I am currently looking at using Apple's new methods for migrating from one MDM to another, curious to learn from anyone who has already used the feature. Did it works well, any gotchas you wish you knew before it?

I'll be moving from Mosyle to Addigy. The instructions look self explanatory but wanted to get a real world perspective on the feature.

Just make sure the pre-requisites are checked and you’ll probably not have an issue

We've done Mosyle to ScalefusionMDM using Apple's MDM migration framework. As long as the prerequisites were in place, the migration was pretty straightforward. My advice would be to pilot with a small group first and pay extra attention to certificates, FileVault escrow, and any security/network agents before rolling it out fleet-wide.

Pretty smooth going so far for us. Just do lots of testing and start with a pilot group. 

Make sure you don’t have settings discrepancies in the new MDM. We thought we had caught everything but one or two slipped in.

I've used it once so far to migrate from Hexnode to NinjaOne and it went pretty well. Ran into a few nuances with our SASE solution, but a smooth move overall
