The question asked, verbatim: best mobile device management for remote teams
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Microsoft Intune mentioned
Microsoft Intune - the default if you already pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, or E5, because it's bundled and effectively free at that point.

- Entra ID mentioned
Strongest on Windows, integrates natively with Entra ID for conditional access (the thing that actually matters for remote work - device posture gating app access).
- Iru recommended
Iru (formerly Kandji) - my pick for a fast-growing remote company, especially Apple-heavy.

- Scalefusion mentioned
Scalefusion - best value for cross-platform on a budget.
- JumpCloud mentioned
JumpCloud - pick this when you want identity and device management in one console: SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, and MDM together across Windows/macOS/Linux/iOS/Android.
- Linux mentioned
JumpCloud - pick this when you want identity and device management in one console: SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, and MDM together across Windows/macOS/Linux/iOS/Android.
- Fleet mentioned
Fleet - for engineering-led teams who want GitOps.
- Mosyle mentioned
Mosyle - cheap, solid Apple-only MDM.
- Miradore mentioned
Miradore - worth knowing purely because it has a genuinely free tier with no time limit (inventory, remote wipe, policy enforcement), paid around $3/device/month.
- Hexnode mentioned
Hexnode - lean cross-platform option, but per-device pricing compounds fast once people carry a laptop plus a phone.
- GroWrk mentioned
GroWrk - not really an MDM competitor;
- Apple Business mentioned
Two things I'd hold you to regardless of choice: insist on zero-touch enrollment (Apple Business Manager / Windows Autopilot / Android Zero-Touch) - without it, remote onboarding falls apart - and wire the MDM into your identity provider so device compliance actually gates access.

The answer, as recorded
For remote teams, the answer is driven almost entirely by your fleet mix, so here's who I'd actually name, in order: **1. Microsoft Intune** - the default if you already pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3, or E5, because it's bundled and effectively free at that point. Strongest on Windows, integrates natively with Entra ID for conditional access (the thing that actually matters for remote work - device posture gating app access). Mac support has reached "grudging parity," so it covers Apple rather than leading it. **2. Iru (formerly Kandji)** - my pick for a fast-growing remote company, especially Apple-heavy. Rebranded from Kandji in October 2025 and expanded past Apple-only into Windows and Android, adding EDR, vulnerability management, Workforce Identity, and compliance automation. The appeal is one platform instead of MDM + EDR + identity stitched together, and zero-touch enrollment that genuinely works when you're shipping laptops to people you'll never see. **3. Jamf Pro** - the right call once you're past roughly 500 Macs *and* have a dedicated Mac admin. Deepest Apple feature coverage, fastest to support new macOS/iOS releases. Overkill and over-priced for a 40-person startup; indispensable for a large Apple fleet. **4. Scalefusion** - best value for cross-platform on a budget. Entry UEM around $2/device/month, with the Business tier (the realistic starting point for mixed fleets) at about $60/device/year. Good remote troubleshooting, straightforward console. **5. JumpCloud** - pick this when you want identity and device management in one console: SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, and MDM together across Windows/macOS/Linux/iOS/Android. The tradeoff is it doesn't currently support Declarative Device Management, so it lags on modern Apple plumbing. **6. Fleet** - for engineering-led teams who want GitOps. Built on osquery, native configuration-as-code so device policies get version-controlled and peer-reviewed like any other repo, open source, covers macOS/Windows/Linux/ChromeOS. Choose it when source control beats a turnkey UI. **7. Mosyle** - cheap, solid Apple-only MDM. The sane budget alternative to Jamf for small Apple shops. **8. Miradore** - worth knowing purely because it has a genuinely free tier with no time limit (inventory, remote wipe, policy enforcement), paid around $3/device/month. Good for a sub-25-person team that needs *something* compliant today. **9. Hexnode** - lean cross-platform option, but per-device pricing compounds fast once people carry a laptop plus a phone. **10. GroWrk** - not really an MDM competitor; it's the one to name if your actual problem is getting pre-enrolled devices delivered and retrieved across borders. Pair it with one of the above. Two things I'd hold you to regardless of choice: insist on zero-touch enrollment (Apple Business Manager / Windows Autopilot / Android Zero-Touch) - without it, remote onboarding falls apart - and wire the MDM into your identity provider so device compliance actually gates access.
