MDM Security Tools

Jamf is the long time king of apple MDM. They have a robust set of features and integrations that make them the go-to for apple device management with a rich feature set allowing a ton of customization. However, as with all enterprise software, there has also been an increase in bloat over time.

Iru is doing a great job giving Jamf a run for their money, especially for startups and midmarket. Their platform is able to focus more on the use cases that matter for most companies, with the downside being edge requirements from advanced Jamf users.
