Profile Manager was software that Apple used to provide free with macOS Server which was free with certain hardware purchases. This software provided a native way to manage multiple devices that was ideal for small businesses and families.

I understand there are non-free and non-native alternatives, but the discontinuing of free software is still frustrating. It would be like Apple suddenly deciding to make Safari a monthly subscription. Sure, I could pay for it or I could start using Firefox, but it is still functionality that used to be native and free that no longer is.
