If all you're doing is screen sharing, then there's no need for Apple Remote Desktop. The in-built screen sharing client can work for that. ARD provides quite a bit more, though.

Apple Remote Desktop lets you install software programs and applications, and perform updates on an unlimited number of Mac computers in your network simultaneously. The only computer you actually have to touch is yours. It gives you the freedom to schedule tasks without interrupting the user or requiring any interaction. All the hardware you need to play Apple Arcade games. The right iPhones, iPads, controllers and more will help you get into Apple Arcade's 100-plus games.


But you'll probably want to have a look at how you license all of the Apple software here; how many Apple IDs are in use, and for what. What software is purchased by what license. Here's a decent and very general intro: macos - Manage Apple devices for small company - Ask Different, and you're almost certainly going to be headed toward the volume purchase program (VPP) and VPP deployment, and toward more direct discussions with the Apple Business folks.

I'd suggest discussing this and other similar purchasing- and licensing-related questions directly with the Apple Business folks at your local Apple Store, or with the Apple Support folks directly. Answers and alternatives here vary by business and country and probably by some other details.
