OS X Server has some good built-in applications, like Podcast Producer, which can serve as the centerpiece of a video capture / workflow / conversion / uploading / streaming platform.
Some colleges use it for lecture capture. It's pretty decent by itself.
However, the logical extension is iTunes U which is devoid of any real support, except via a forum, and an email system which sends out the dumbest canned responses I've ever read.
I tried for several weeks to get iTunes U set up properly, and no amount of expensive deluxe enterprise support could do the job. Even on a priority ticket, Apple techs and my sales rep told me repeatedly, "Uh, support for that is via email only."
And then the canned email responses were utterly Kafka-esque, as in, "Oh gee, did you break your iPod? Did you lose a file on your hard drive?" When I called in desperation to their iTunes support (as they instructed in the email), they could not get past their own support screen which demanded a product serial number. For iTunes U? No serial number, no service, next! Thank you, come again!
I'm an enterprise customer. Or was.
The rest of Apple enterprise support is solid, but if you're just setting up iTunes U in 2011, it's a ghetto. It's so bad that after months of training, evaluation, vendor selection etc., after investing tens of thousands in Apple hardware, software, training and enterprise support, we killed the project because the iTunes U part was just brain-dead support-wise.
That, and we started to feel like we were just shilling for Apple's proprietary stack, paying for the privilege, and then getting the insult of hearing "there's an app for that." Yeah, but where's the support? We paid a lot to find out it doesn't exist for iTunes U.
So that's why I'm a tad disillusioned about enterprise Apple. (I've been Microsoft-free for 12 years, by the way.)
