myMDM

Overview

myMDM is an open-core unified endpoint management platform that brings device fleets into one console. It suits teams managing a mix of operating systems that can run a self-hosted service or are willing to wait for the managed offering. The breadth of its device, policy, app and identity controls is compelling, but the hosted product is still marked “Coming Soon.”

Key features

myMDM covers Apple Declarative Device Management and classic MDM, Android Management API, Windows OMA-DM, a Linux agent and ChromeOS enrollment. Its supported endpoint types also include cloud VMs. That range makes it relevant to organizations with mixed fleets rather than teams managing only one device family.

The policy engine handles passcodes, Wi-Fi, VPN, restrictions, OS updates and compliance rules, with additional support for geofencing, mobile threat defense integration and workflow automation. These controls let IT teams address routine configuration and compliance within the same platform. Mobile threat defense integration is a Pro feature, so Free users should not expect the full policy and security offering.

App management includes Apple VPP and ABM managed apps, Google Play managed configurations, an enterprise app catalog, AppConfig.org and automated third-party patching for more than 100 titles. The combination is useful for teams standardizing app deployment across platforms, while automated third-party patching is reserved for Pro.

Identity capabilities include LDAP and Active Directory sync, SAML 2.0, OIDC, SCIM 2.0 provisioning, just-in-time provisioning and role-based access control with identity-provider role mapping. The managed product also lists integrations with Entra ID, Okta Device Trust, Cloudflare Access and Zscaler, plus remote-support connections to TeamViewer and Splashtop. These options give larger IT teams a way to connect device management with identity and access workflows; some are tied to paid plans.

The self-hosted core is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and includes the policy engine, platform agents, enrollment, app management, identity federation and web console. Docker, Docker Compose and Helm are supported. Running it requires Docker 24+ or Kubernetes 1.28+, PostgreSQL 15+ and a public HTTPS endpoint for Apple APNs and Android AMAPI callbacks. The recommended 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM for up to 500 devices is a modest stated starting point, but the infrastructure and endpoint requirements make self-hosting a real operational commitment.

The web console provides SIEM-compatible audit logs, and remote-support sessions are recorded and audited. That is useful for organizations that need an audit trail around administration and support activity.

Pricing

myMDM uses a freemium model, with a Free tier and two paid tiers aimed at larger or more demanding deployments.

• Free — free: Up to 25 devices, all six platforms, core MDM policies, basic app management and community support. It is a sensible starting point for individuals and small teams, but the device cap and basic app offering leave little room for a growing fleet or advanced operational needs.
• Pro — $4 a month: Unlimited devices, AI fleet automation, DEX analytics, third-party patching, mobile threat defense integration, SAML/OIDC identity federation, TeamViewer/Splashtop remote support and priority support. This is the practical fit for IT teams that need to manage beyond 25 devices or want the added automation, analytics and integrations.
• Enterprise — custom pricing: Everything in Pro, plus MSP organization hierarchy, white-labeling and a custom domain, ZTNA posture API, per-app VPN, SLA and dedicated support, and on-premises deployment. These features target MSPs and large organizations; custom pricing means buyers will need to assess the cost against their deployment needs.

The managed service is marked “Coming Soon” and invites visitors to join a waitlist. Teams ready to deploy now should evaluate the self-hosted core rather than assume a managed subscription is currently available.

Platforms

myMDM supports macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, Android and ChromeOS, with web and API access also represented in its platform coverage. Its endpoint scope includes Mac computers, iPhone, Windows and Linux devices, Android devices, ChromeOS devices and cloud VMs. This makes it a strong candidate for mixed-platform fleets, not just conventional mobile-device management.

Who it's for

Individuals and small teams can use Free to manage up to 25 devices, provided core policies and basic app management are enough. IT teams with larger fleets are better served by Pro’s unlimited device count and added automation, patching and identity features. Enterprise is aimed at MSPs and large organizations that need multi-organization management, custom branding, on-premises deployment or dedicated service commitments.

myMDM is less suitable for teams that require an immediately available managed service or cannot take on the requirements of self-hosting. Its open-core model offers flexibility, but the self-hosted route still calls for container or Kubernetes operations, a PostgreSQL database and publicly reachable HTTPS callbacks.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Broad coverage across six operating systems, including ChromeOS and Linux, makes it useful for varied device estates.
• Pro: Policy, app and identity controls span more than enrollment, with identity federation and automated third-party patching available in Pro.
• Pro: The AGPL-3.0 self-hosted core includes the web console and major management components, giving technically equipped teams a deployable option while the managed service is pending.
• Con: Free is limited to 25 devices and community support, so it is primarily a small-team entry point.
• Con: The managed product is still marked “Coming Soon,” leaving self-hosting as the immediate path for teams that need to proceed.
• Con: Self-hosting requires container or Kubernetes infrastructure, PostgreSQL and a public HTTPS endpoint, which adds operational work for teams seeking a turnkey service.

Alternatives

For other options in this category, see Unified Endpoint Management Software.

• FileWave is worth comparing if its Community Edition’s free allowance of up to 15 computers, 15 tablets and 15 Chrome devices suits your fleet.
• Relution offers a free plan for up to five devices, with Shared Cloud or On Premises deployment and no time limit; it may suit a very small deployment.
• Miradore offers a free plan for up to 50 devices after a 14-day trial, making it a comparison point for teams prioritizing a higher stated free-device allowance.
• OpenUEM is a free, open-source alternative for teams focused on Linux, macOS and Windows.
• SureAsset is a free option for hardware and software license tracking, asset lifecycle management, API access and automation.
• Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access is another option to consider for zero-trust access.
• ManageEngine Endpoint Central has a Free Edition for 25 endpoints; it may be a fit for teams comparing free endpoint-management plans.
• UNO UEM offers per-managed-device pricing scaled to fleet size and needs, with full platform access and six-platform support.

Verdict

myMDM is a strong choice for technically capable teams that want broad cross-platform management, centralized policies and app controls, and the option to run an open-core system themselves. Free is enough for a small fleet, while Pro removes the device cap and adds tools for active IT operations. The main reason to look elsewhere is straightforward: if you need a managed service now and do not want to operate the infrastructure, myMDM’s current path may not fit.
