## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" depends mostly on what OSes your team runs and whether you already pay Microsoft. Here's how I'd rank them for a distributed team:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune** - The default if you're already on Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3/E5, because it's bundled (you're likely paying for it already). Deep Entra ID integration, Conditional Access, and - the part that matters for remote teams - app protection policies that secure company data on Android/iOS *without* full enrollment, which is the right answer for BYOD phones where employees balk at handing over their personal device. Weakest on macOS relative to Apple-native tools.
> 
> **2. Kandji** - My pick for Apple-only teams under a few thousand devices. Zero-touch enrollment via Apple Business Manager, and its "Blueprints" + auto-remediation model means a laptop that drifts out of compliance fixes itself without an IT person touching it - which is the whole game when the user is 3,000 miles away. Caveat: pricing is quote-only and there's effectively a ~100-device minimum, so it's not for tiny teams.
> 
> **3. Jamf Pro** - The incumbent for large Apple fleets. Most mature ecosystem, best third-party integrations,
