Best Mobile Device Management (MDM) Software for Contractors

Managed mobile device management service for contractors, with dedicated account managers and fast support.

Editor's takeNENS wins on service delivery rather than a unique software feature: support calls average 1.6 rings, and Level 1 tickets resolve in about 40 minutes. Clients get a dedicated strategic account manager and technical manager, and 98.5% of support requests are rated Highly Satisfied. The service is a managed offering focused on the New England region, and pricing needs a custom quote rather than a published rate.

Vertically integrated Android MDM pairing custom hardware with 42Gears-powered device management software.

Editor's takeNuU pairs its own Android hardware with device management software built on a partnership with 42Gears, going beyond software-only MDM vendors. It holds Android Enterprise Gold Partner status and reportedly prices device management around $3.25 to $5 a month per device. The Better Business Bureau lists complaints about unresponsive call centers and warranty disputes, and PCMag's review of NuU's entry-level hardware notes sluggish performance.

Mobile device management software with public per-device pricing and a camera-blocking geofence feature.

Editor's takeCodeproof publishes exact per-device pricing, a rarity in an MDM market that usually hides costs behind a sales call. The SiteSecure geofenced camera-blocking feature is a specific differentiator for healthcare and secure facilities. Market mindshare of about 0.1 percent, well below leaders like SOTI, reflects a smaller footprint despite a decade in the market.

A fully managed mobile device management service with 24/7 support agents and fixed-cost budgeting for Texas businesses.

Editor's takeEnstep's value is the managed-service wrapper around MDM, with a structured 4-step onboarding and real human support rather than a self-serve dashboard. Since it only serves the Houston and Austin areas, businesses outside that region should look elsewhere regardless of feature fit.

Unified endpoint management with identity access controls like SSO and MFA built into device policies.

Editor's takeMiniOrange treats identity and device management as one workflow instead of two separate purchases, which suits teams securing both logins and endpoints. Clients like Walmart and BNY Mellon use its SSO tools. Budget-conscious buyers should read the pricing tiers carefully since users report the licensing structure gets confusing.

Device management tied to HR data, provisioning laptops the moment an offer letter is signed.

Editor's takeRippling ties device provisioning directly to HR events, shipping a laptop the moment an offer letter is signed. That automation runs across 600-plus integrated apps. Support access is limited to administrators, so individual employees cannot contact Rippling directly when something breaks.

Unified endpoint management for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux with transparent per-device pricing.

Editor's takeScalefusion covers five operating systems including Linux, a platform most MDM competitors skip entirely. Remote Cast & Control lets IT view and control a device screen live, with VoIP calling built in for troubleshooting. Pricing starts at $2 per device per month with no setup fees, unusually transparent for enterprise device management, though one reviewer compared removing the agent to uninstalling a virus.

Fully managed MDM service built on Microsoft Intune with 24/7 US-based support and a 60-second average answer time.

Editor's takeVerity IT wraps Microsoft Intune's enterprise MDM capabilities in a high-touch managed service, promising a 60-second average answer time and an 82% first-touch resolution rate. It holds a perfect 5.0 rating on Clutch and maintains partnerships with Microsoft, Fortinet, and Cisco Meraki. Its Master Services Agreement caps liability at fees paid, and the service focuses on Chicago, Nashville, and Orlando markets.

A carrier-integrated device management tool that also manages Jetpack hotspots and tracks devices without GPS.

Editor's takeVerizon MDM wins on price and one unusual capability. It manages Jetpack hotspots and locates devices using network data even without GPS. That combination is hard to find in standalone MDM tools. Support is the weak link, with one Reddit thread describing two dozen calls and no resolution on an enrollment issue.
