Does this also doom the corporate spyware that's in almost every large enterprise Mac deployment, or does that install without KE?

Define "spyware".

JAMF uses the MDM APIs that Apple provides. It also can't access personal data via those APIs. Your anti-virus may use kernel extensions, in which case it will stop working.

JAMF additionally permits the provisioning server to run arbitrary scripts on the endpoints, using an installed daemon that implements functionality beyond what MDM offers.

What would be the ideal solution to manage fleets of computers though? Afaik Apple does not have a full featured first party solution, or do they?
