Instead of FileWave
FileWave alternatives
FileWave brings device enrollment, application delivery, operating-system and third-party patching, and compliance reporting into one management platform. It covers major desktop and mobile systems, supports cloud or on-premises deployment, and offers zero-touch enrollment alongside frameworks such as Windows Autopilot and Apple ADE/DEP. Its Filesets can send file-level changes and allow deployed files to be edited or removed. Security features include encrypted communications, remote lock and wipe, and administrator two-factor authentication.

Paid Web
That broad scope may be more than a team needs. The free Community Edition is capped at 15 computers, 15 tablets, and 15 Chrome devices, and has community support without included support service. Professional starts at $12.50 per device, with no billing period stated. Some alternatives concentrate on patching or application deployment; others manage fewer device types or handle application builds rather than endpoints. Before switching, weigh operating-system coverage, hosting, enrollment, security controls, reporting, and whether you need full-fleet management or a narrower tool.
