> # Best MDM for remote teams
> 
> The honest answer is that "best" depends almost entirely on what your fleet runs. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune** - The default if you're already on Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3/E5, because it's bundled and you're effectively paying for it already. Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), real Zero Trust / Conditional Access integration, and the strongest Windows management of anyone. Standalone it's around $8/user/mo for Plan 1, with a Suite tier near $10. Weakness: the admin experience is slower and clunkier than the Apple-native tools, and its macOS support is competent but not best-in-class.
> 
> **2. Kandji** - My pick for a Mac-heavy remote team that wants things to just work. Its "Blueprints" + 150+ prebuilt Auto Apps mean a laptop shipped straight from Apple to someone's apartment self-configures on first boot with zero IT touch - which is exactly the remote-team problem. Pricing is quote-based (commonly cited in the $1.60-$3.20/user/mo range depending on tier and volume). Apple-only, so it's out if you have Windows machines.
> 
> **3. Mosyle** - The value play, and genuinely good. Full Apple MDM for macOS/
