Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We deploy iOS devices by the hundred[s] across dozens of schools, mostly for student use, but occasionally for instructor use. We also use a few devices internally, not only for testing, but for their myriad other uses: from using a scanner app to archive contracts, to network scanning tools to help diagnose connectivity issues.

Pros

iOS is easy for users to get started with, and many people are already familiar with it.
iOS is easily managed when purchased through Apple and managed via School/Business Manager.
iOS is a relatively secure platform with many options for protecting personal and organizational data.

Cons

Some of the security features can get in the way of organizational management, requiring careful consideration of the configuration.
There are a lot of design choices that are consumer-first that you have to work around with institutionally-owned devices.
There are some hard limitations, like apps not having direct access to network interfaces for WiFi scans.

Likelihood to Recommend

iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

Best operating system when it comes to security

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iOS is very important in our organization. There is no possibility to build an app and not bring it to iOS nowadays. As a user, I like the platform. The focus on security gives me peace of mind. I can keep my important information on my phone and it is fine. As a developer, I can see a lot of opportunities using it. There are some iOS users here and they think the same.

Pros

Security.
Very easy to use.

Cons

Customization.
Price of iOS devices in Brazil is high.

Likelihood to Recommend

IOS security is great. Apple always takes great care when it comes to that. The apps are great as well and there a lot of them available on the app store. The system is very easy to use as well but it is too closed off. You cannot change the home screen for example. There are a lot of API's that you can use for building apps but some of them are closed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, it up to each employee if they're going to use Apple or Android. Some employees also use iOS. As per my role in this organization, it helps me a lot because all of my software is compatible with iOS. The only issue is when I need to collaborate with an Android user, since sharing data like photos/videos are not that easy. Though I can use third-party apps, most of the time it takes a lot of process in order to transfer simple files. Thankfully our organization uses O365, therefore most of my docs are on the cloud so that any device may access the files as long as it is connected to my account.

Pros

User-interface.
Design.
Less bugs than other platforms.

Cons

Not open-source.
Easier file sharing across other platforms.
Silent delivery of rapid app updates.

Likelihood to Recommend

IOs is suitable for cloud users like me and who are looking for a simple yet powerful OS. It is less appropriate for users who are using their phones for customization. Basically, it is good for managers, but not for IT programmers.
