## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> **Microsoft Intune** - start here if you're already on Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3/E5, because you're paying for it. Conditional access tied to Entra ID, Windows Autopilot for zero-touch shipping to a remote hire's door, and cross-platform coverage. Weakest on deep Apple management - its Declarative Device Management support still lags the Apple-first tools.
> 
> **Kandji (now branded Iru)** - my default recommendation for a remote-first company on Macs without a dedicated Mac admin. Blueprints auto-remediate drift, the app catalog keeps software patched without you writing scripts, and they've expanded into EDR/identity/compliance so you're not stitching together four vendors. Costs more than Mosyle, far less pain than Jamf.
> 
> **Mosyle** - best value for Apple fleets. Free tier up to 30 devices, and Mosyle Fuse bundles MDM plus endpoint security and a DNS filter for a fraction of Jamf's price. What I'd pick for a startup under ~100 Macs watching burn.
> 
> **Jamf Pro** - the right answer at scale: 500+ Macs and someone whose actual job is managing them. Deepest feature surface in Apple MDM, best third-party ecosystem, highest total cost of ownership. Overkill below that threshold.
