Ever since Apple wrapped up its WWDC keynote, I’ve seen a continuous stream of posts on X, blogs, etc, about how ‘1Password has been Sherlocked’ by Apple’s dedicated password manager app in iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and iPadOS 18. I am here to set the record straight: if you think 1Password is competing with Apple as a password manager app for consumers, you haven’t been paying attention to what the company offers today.

Big part up front: Software update fatigue is real for consumers and business users. New features, security updates, and regular maintenance means something is updated almost daily. Browsers are seeing rapid enhancement, and security concerns mean that updates for every app and the operation systems need frequent updates. So, how do we deal with fixing the experience?

I’ve been a Ubiquiti advocate for the past 5-6 years for the vast majority of enterprise networking installations. It’s not going to be the perfect fit for all installations. Still, I believe that it covers 95% of the networking needs of most organizations outside of data centers and very demanding environments. One of the negatives of Ubiquiti for many users was the focus on email and forum-based support. For mission-critical environments, 24/7 support is needed. Ubiquiti recently eliminated that issue as they now offer 24/7 phone support as an additional tier.

There’s never a good time to migrate between device management vendors, but sometimes its necessary. If all of your devices are deployed at the same time (on a lease, etc.), you can time these device refreshes with the new device management deployment; otherwise, you’ll be migrating mid-flight. The end goal is to ensure that end-users have no disruption.

The role of Microsoft Office on the Mac is critical. When Bill Gates appeared on video at WWDC many years ago to commit to new versions of Office for Mac, the Mac with a robust Office program was a critical part of Apple’s enterprise growth. While competing alongside it are Google Workspace and the Google Drive ecosystem, iWork is Apple’s free option with Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. These platforms are good but are simply part of a company’s larger product portfolio. What if there was an option from a company that simply wanted to make great productivity apps? That’s what I’ve found with OfficeSuite.
