Reduce Costs with a Microsoft Intune Alternative for MDM
Blog post from Miradore
Many companies are overpaying for feature-rich mobile device management (MDM) solutions like Microsoft Intune's enterprise bundles, which include tools and features that employees often do not use, leading to unnecessary costs and complexity. A more economical and efficient approach involves using specialized MDM tools such as Miradore, which offers significant savings in total cost of ownership (TCO) by providing a lower monthly subscription fee and requiring less time for setup and administration compared to Microsoft Intune. For instance, Miradore's setup is estimated to cost $750 compared to Intune's $6,000, and its pricing is approximately €2.30 per device per month in contrast to Intune's €6.90 per user per month. By implementing Microsoft 365 only for employees who need core productivity tools and using Miradore for device management for others, businesses can achieve substantial cost reductions, simplify administration, and maintain flexibility. This strategy can result in savings of over €10,000 annually for a 250-person company by eliminating unnecessary M365 licenses for non-desk roles.
