> ## Short answer
> 
> The right pick is mostly decided by what you already pay for and what your fleet runs. My order:
> 
> **1. Microsoft Intune - if you're already on Microsoft 365.**
> It's included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium (~$22/user/mo), which also bundles Entra ID P1 and Defender for Business. If you have that license, you already own an MDM and buying a second one is usually waste. Covers Windows, iOS, Android, macOS. Weakest on Mac-specific depth and it's the most fiddly to configure.

> 
> **2. Mosyle - if you're all-Apple and cost-sensitive.**
> Cheapest credible Apple MDM: free tier up to 30 Apple devices, and Business Premium is roughly $1/device/mo. For a 10-40 person Mac/iPhone shop this is the value pick; the console is less polished than Jamf or Iru.

> 
> **3. Iru (formerly Kandji) - if you're all-Apple and want it to just work.**
> Best-in-class o

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
