What SimpleMDM is
SimpleMDM is a web-based tool for remotely managing organizational Apple devices. It supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS, with enrollment through Apple Business Manager automated enrollment, BYOD user enrollment, links, account-driven enrollment, Apple Configurator, and QR code. Administrators can deploy devices without manual setup, distribute apps and installer packages, assign configuration profiles, view device information, run scripts, and remotely wipe, lock, or restart devices. Munki integration provides a macOS self-serve storefront with shared or custom apps, NoPkg scripts, and version pinning. The API supports webhooks, app-distribution workflows, automation, and profile management. SAML single sign-on options include Google, Microsoft Live, and Microsoft Azure AD. SimpleMDM states that stored data uses Google server-side AES-256 encryption and HTTPS communications; PDQ states SOC 2 compliance. Annual pricing is $2.50 per device/month, monthly pricing is $3.00, and a 30-day no-card trial is available.
