Relution

Relution is a unified endpoint platform for organizations managing phones, tablets, computers and specialist endpoints across several operating systems. It suits education, public administration, healthcare and enterprise teams that need either cloud delivery or control of their own infrastructure. Its strongest case is broad platform coverage combined with deployment and security controls; the main qualification is that larger deployments require a custom quote.

Overview

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Relution combines mobile device management and unified endpoint management. It covers smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers and interactive whiteboards, while supporting iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, Android, Windows 10 and 11, Linux and ChromeOS.

Organizations can use a shared cloud service, a dedicated cloud server with multi-tenancy, or an on-premises installation running on Linux and Docker. That choice is useful for institutions with data-residency or infrastructure requirements: Relution can run in the customer's environment or in a German encrypted cloud, and the maker says it cannot access generated device data.

Key features

Enrollment and policy control

Central policies configure and secure endpoints, with automated enrollment and support for Apple DEP, Android Enterprise, Samsung Knox, Android Zero Touch and Windows Autopilot. Compliance checks, disk encryption and VPN integration extend policy management beyond basic inventory. Remote lock and remote wipe provide practical responses to lost devices or security incidents.

Applications and shared devices

Relution inventories and distributes software from public app stores and handles native packages including .exe, .msi, .msix, .msixbundle and .app. That makes it suitable for mixed fleets where mobile apps and desktop installers must be administered together. Shared Device mode lets multiple users access a device while restricting each group to its assigned apps and settings; Apple Shared Device Mode and Windows Shared PC support are included.

Identity, access and integrations

Active Directory, LDAP, REST API, SAML and OpenID Connect single sign-on connect Relution to existing identity and automation systems. Apple Business Manager and Managed Google Play support help link enrollment and application distribution to the major mobile ecosystems. Multi-factor authentication and IP access rules add controls for administrator access.

Trust and support

Relution carries TeleTrusT's IT Security Made in Germany and IT Security Made in EU trust marks. Common Criteria EAL 4+ and ISO 27001 certifications are described as in progress, so buyers requiring completed certifications should verify that status. Product manuals, helpdesk tickets, a customer hub and a technical changelog provide several support channels.

Pricing

The free tier is unusually practical for a permanent small installation because it does not expire, but five devices is a strict ceiling. It is better for evaluation or a tiny office than for a school, clinic or business fleet. Cloud and On Premises plans remove that free-tier constraint, but their capacity and final cost must be established with Relution before procurement.

Platforms

Relution offers web administration and supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows and Linux alongside Apple TV, Watch and Vision platforms and ChromeOS. API access, self-hosted deployment and automated enrollment make it flexible for mixed operating-system estates. The breadth is a meaningful advantage over tools focused only on mobile or only on Windows, though organizations should confirm that every required device type is covered in their chosen plan.

Who it's for

Relution is a strong fit for education and public-sector environments managing shared devices, for healthcare organizations balancing endpoint control with data-sovereignty requirements, and for enterprises standardizing administration across Apple, Android, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. It is less compelling for a handful of devices beyond the five-device free allowance when a simpler single-platform tool would suffice, or for buyers who need transparent large-fleet pricing before engaging sales.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Broad support spanning mobile, desktop, specialist Apple platforms and ChromeOS.
• Pro: Cloud and on-premises choices, including Linux/Docker deployment and a German encrypted cloud.
• Pro: Strong enrollment coverage through Apple DEP, Android Enterprise, Knox, Zero Touch and Autopilot.
• Pro: Application distribution handles public stores and common Windows and macOS package formats.
• Con: The free plan is limited to five devices, restricting it to pilots and very small fleets.
• Con: Cloud and On Premises pricing is custom, making budget comparison difficult without a quote.
• Con: Common Criteria EAL 4+ and ISO 27001 are not yet completed certifications.

Alternatives

FileWave is worth considering when a permanent community edition covering up to 15 computers, 15 tablets and 15 Chrome devices is a better starting limit, with paid plans and a free trial beyond that.

myMDM fits buyers wanting a freemium MDM with a free allowance of up to 25 devices, core policies and basic app management across six platforms.

Miradore is a sensible alternative for a free allowance of up to 50 devices after a 14-day trial, with Premium priced at $2.75 per device per month.

OpenUEM suits organizations seeking free, open-source, self-hosted endpoint management.

SureAsset is aimed at free asset lifecycle, hardware and software license tracking rather than a full Relution-style UEM scope.

Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access is a paid, named-user SaaS option for teams prioritizing zero-trust access.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central offers a 25-endpoint free edition and paid professional editions for larger managed environments.

UNO UEM is a paid per-device platform with pricing scaled to fleet size and needs.

Verdict

Choose Relution when one platform must govern diverse Apple, Android, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS endpoints, especially where shared devices, automated enrollment and deployment control matter. Its deployment flexibility and security scope are compelling. Look elsewhere if five devices is insufficient and you need published, immediately comparable pricing rather than a custom quote.
