Which MDM for SMB: Intune, Jamf Now, Mosyle, Kandji, or Google Endpoint?
No one-size-fits-all. Have M365 Business Premium? Intune is included, just use it. Pure Apple shop with design/marketing focus? Mosyle or Kandji are lighter than Intune and faster to set up. Mixed iOS+Android+Windows? Intune. Already on Google Workspace? Google Endpoint Management is free and covers the basics.

- 2Intune: included with M365 Business Premium and E3/E5, strongest for mixed, steep curve.
- 3Mosyle/Kandji: Apple-only, friendlier UI, typically per-device per-month (check current pricing, it shifts).
- 4Google Endpoint: free with Workspace, baseline, fine for SMB with simple needs.
