## The answer, as recorded

> ## The short answer
> 
> For a remote team, the right MDM depends almost entirely on two things: what OS mix your fleet is, and whether you already pay for Microsoft 365. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune** - the default if you're a Windows shop or already on M365 Business Premium/E3/E5. It's effectively free at that point (bundled into licenses you own), it holds roughly 45% enterprise MDM share, and it ties natively into Entra ID and Defender so conditional access "block non-compliant devices" works without extra plumbing. Its Mac support is real but noticeably weaker than the Apple-native tools.

> 
> **2. Iru (formerly Kandji)** - my pick for a fast-growing, Mac-heavy remote team without a dedicated Mac admin. Zero-touch enrollment and its pre-built compliance/remediation library ("Blueprints") mean a laptop can ship straight to a new hire's apartment and self-configure. Note the naming change: Kandji rebranded to Iru on 22 Octo
