## The answer, as recorded

> ## For remote teams, here's what I'd actually recommend - in order
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune** - The default if you already pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3/E5, because it's bundled in those licenses rather than a new line item. Strongest on Windows, ranked #1 in enterprise mobility management by review volume, and Defender integration comes with the license. Weakest link is Mac/Linux depth. ([ITCentralStation](https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/comparisons/jumpcloud_vs_microsoft-intune))
> 
> **2. JumpCloud** - My top pick for a *mixed* remote fleet (Win + Mac + Linux) at small-to-mid size. It bundles the directory, SSO, MFA and MDM in one product, which means one tool handles "who is this person and what can they touch" plus "what's on their laptop" - genuinely valuable when nobody shares an office. Rated 8.6 vs Intune's 8.0 by expert users. ([JumpCloud](https://jumpcloud.com/blog/intune-vs-jumpcloud/), [ITCentralStation](https://www.itcentralstation.com/products/comparisons/jumpcloud_vs_microsoft-intune))
> 
> **3. Mosyle** - Best value by a wide margin if you're all-Apple: roughly $1-1.50/device/month, and free up to 30 devices. For a 15-person remote startup on MacBook
