Composer Standard Edition goes Universal

JAMF Software today released Composer Standard Edition 4.1, an update to its package creation utility for Mac. The latest revision of Composer Standard Edition allows point-and-click creation of .pkg and .dmg packages in an easy four-step process for use with the Casper Suite or other package distribution tools. The software -- which was previously only offered as a component of the Casper Suite -- is available as a standalone Universal application that runs natively on Intel-based Macs. The update also offers a permissions inspector, and allows conversion of packages back and fourth between .pkg and .dmg formats. JAMF is offering Composer Standard Edition 4.1 for 50 percent off ($50) to Apple Remote Desktop users and $100 to other customers.

We have a Symantec Ghost for 350 machines. Ghost for Windows pretty much does for windows what Casper does for Macs. I was really excited about having something similiar for the MacOS, did research, checked out the demo, etc, etc. I then asked for a price quote for 75 seats.

The price was significantly HIGHER then the Ghost license for 350 seats. I was shocked. Price prevented me from moving forward.

As a peculiar side...the person I conversed with said they never heard of Ghost. Now, I find it hard to believe that the name CASPER was not intentionally chosen because Ghost was the name of the same service Windows available from Symantec.
