Miradore has been awarded the Great Place To Work certification for the second consecutive year, with 96% of its employees rating it as a great place to work, up from 95% the previous year. This certification, granted by Great Place To Work®, is based on an anonymous employee survey assessing various aspects of company culture.

CEO Simo Salmensuu expressed satisfaction with the results, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a valued, respected, and inclusive workplace as the company grows. Additionally, Miradore has achieved ISO 27001 certification and has been recognized as a leader in UEM software for SMBs, with other recent developments including the introduction of an MSP portal.

In April 2022, Apple officially discontinued its macOS Server, a software package that had been gradually phased out over several years. Originally launched as Mac OS X Server in 1999, it was designed to manage networks of Apple devices with tools like File Sharing, Caching Server, and Profile Manager. Over time, Apple integrated many of these functions into the standard macOS, leading to a diminished need for the standalone server product. As part of a strategic shift to streamline software offerings, Apple has encouraged users to transition to third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, such as Miradore, which supports a wide array of operating systems and provides functionalities like configuration profiles and device management. While Apple has not provided a direct replacement for Profile Manager, they recommend using alternative MDM solutions that cater to specific Apple devices. This transition underscores Apple's focus on delivering a unified experience through its core macOS platform, prompting organizations to seek suitable replacements for their server needs.
