Sentinel vs Scalefusion

The honest comparison. No marketing fluff.

Scalefusion is solid software with a decade of customers. It's also expensive, missing modern AI, and stuck in a 2014-era UI. Here's where Sentinel is genuinely different — and where Scalefusion still wins.

Migration playbook

Off Scalefusion in a week. Onto Sentinel in an hour.

We've done this for hospitality groups, dental networks, field-service ops, and POS fleets ranging from 30 to 1,200 devices. The script is the same.

01

Discovery call (25 min)

We map your current Scalefusion policies, branding, app-allowlists, kiosk configs, and Slack/Email integrations. You leave with a written migration plan.

02

Mirror policies in Sentinel (you, 60 min)

Our policy importer reads a Scalefusion config export and creates equivalent Sentinel policies. Branding profiles auto-build from your existing wallpaper/logo URLs.

03

Re-enroll devices in waves

Test wave (5 devices), pilot wave (20 devices), full fleet. No factory reset required — the Sentinel agent installs over the air, takes management, and Scalefusion's profile drops off gracefully.

04

Sentinel run-in (week 1)

Run both MDMs in parallel for 7 days. Confirm telemetry parity, ticket flow, audit chain. Then revoke Scalefusion's admin token. Done.

Ready for the migration call?

Bring your current Scalefusion config and your fleet size. We'll model the savings on the spot and write the migration plan with you.
