## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" depends almost entirely on what OS mix you have and whether you need device management to be tied to onboarding/offboarding. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune** - The default if you're already on Microsoft 365. You likely own it already under E3/E5, it covers Windows/macOS/iOS/Android, and it plugs straight into Entra ID and Defender. It holds roughly 45% enterprise share for exactly this reason. The catch: its Apple support lags Apple-first tools (only partial Declarative Device Management support), so a Mac-heavy shop will feel the compromise.
> 
> **2. Rippling IT** - My pick specifically for *remote* teams, more than for MDM quality per se. It ties MDM to the HR system, so provisioning, app access, and wipe-on-offboard fire automatically off employee records. The differentiator is the global warehouse network: it ships pre-configured laptops to new hires internationally and handles returns. If your pain is "new hire in Portugal needs a laptop Monday," this solves the actual problem.
> 
> **3. Jamf Pro** - Still the standard for serious Apple fleets. I'd reach for it above ~500 Macs and when you have someone whose job is Mac
