MDM
Software platforms that let enterprise IT teams remotely configure, secure, and manage Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Windows, and Android devices at scale. Leading Apple MDM platforms: Jamf, Microsoft Intune, Kandji, Mosyle, VMware Workspace ONE, and Hexnode.
In detail
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the category of enterprise software that lets IT teams remotely manage devices — applying security policies (passcode, disk encryption, firewall, VPN), installing and updating apps, configuring Wi-Fi and email, running remote wipe on lost / stolen devices, and enforcing compliance standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA). On Apple platforms, MDM is delivered via the Apple MDM protocol and works with Apple Business Manager's Device Enrolment for zero-touch provisioning. Leading MDM platforms for Apple include Jamf (market leader), Kandji (modern challenger), Mosyle (small-business / education focus), Microsoft Intune (cross-platform), VMware Workspace ONE (cross-platform enterprise), and Hexnode (mid-market cross-platform). India-specific Apple MDM deployments are typically Jamf-heavy at larger enterprises and Kandji / Mosyle at newer GCCs and scale-up fintechs.

Common questions
Which MDM is best for an Indian enterprise Apple fleet?+
It depends on size, use case, and existing tooling. Jamf leads the market for 100+ device Apple deployments. Kandji is a modern alternative with great automation. Mosyle fits smaller deployments and education. Microsoft Intune is the right choice if you're deeply Microsoft 365-committed. Adalwin helps Indian enterprises pick the right MDM per their stack and coordinates deployment.
Do I need MDM to buy Apple for my company?+
Not for small orders, but for 25+ devices MDM becomes essential for operational and security reasons. ABM + MDM together deliver zero-touch deployment — without MDM, every device needs manual setup and per-device security configuration.
Can Adalwin set up my MDM or do I need a separate deployment partner?+
Adalwin supplies the hardware with ABM registration; MDM deployment is handled by specialist partners. For Indian enterprises without an existing MDM partner, we introduce certified deployment specialists (Jamf / Kandji / Mosyle / Intune / Workspace ONE / Hexnode authorised) in your city.
