Some of my employees suggested having mac computers for the whole company. There are department from my company that using MAC but I'm not sure with a mac if it's good for businesses since most of the company that I know still using windows computer than mac computer.

Macs are said to be better for graphics, book publishing, music and, possibly, video processing and science applications. Those are the areas, anyway, which seem to prefer Macs. Most other businesses prefer Windows machines. I think that, unless those who are advocating Macs for the whole company can put forward a VERY good case for doing so, taking into account economics (Macs are generally more expensive to purchase and don't forget the software cost and the retraining necessary), security and fitness for purpose, I'd anticipate that Windows machines would be the best choice for most business operations, with the exception of departments specialising in those areas I mentioned at the start.

@IamKYLE That is exactly what I mean. There are certain programs which are useful - indeed, best - for each department in an organisation. Very often, those programs have been developed to run on only one operating system. You need to know which programs/applications each section of your organisation prefers to use and buy the appropriate hardware to run it.
