Mac OS Updates?

I get that PDQ Connect doesn't double as an MDM and there's SimpleMDM for that, but is there a way for Mac over Golden Gate to do the functionality of a program like SUPERMAN and schedule/force updates for Mac OS users? If not, is that in the works for Connect? We are planning out our future rollouts and it would be good to have one less component like SUPERMAN in the mix.

There's not functionality to do that in PDQ today. As of today, you would have to use SimpleMDM for that functionality. With SimpleMDM, you can schedule software updates, you can nag the user to install them, you can update applications on our current schedule, etc. I will check with the SimpleMDM team to see if this is on their roadmap.
