ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus review and pricing

Cheapest credible cross-platform MDM; free up to 25 devices.

By Zoho Corporation (ManageEngine division) · Founded 2002 · Chennai, India · private

ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus is the MDM and UEM product from Zoho Corporation's ManageEngine IT-management division, founded 2002 in Chennai. The product covers iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS, Windows, ChromeOS, and tvOS with deliberately aggressive cost-leadership pricing (free for up to 25 devices, paid plans starting around $1.28/device/month). ManageEngine's structural advantage: the cheapest credible UEM at any meaningful scale, deep integration with the broader ManageEngine portfolio (Endpoint Central for full RMM, Patch Manager Plus, OpManager, ServiceDesk Plus), and a global support footprint anchored in Chennai with 15+ international offices. Best fit for budget-constrained SMB and mid-market organizations, Zoho or ManageEngine-anchored buyers wanting a unified IT-management stack, and Indian and APAC enterprises with local procurement preferences. Trade-offs: admin UX dated relative to Kandji or Hexnode, Apple depth meaningfully trails Jamf and Kandji, customer support quality outside India varies, and the broader ManageEngine portfolio breadth can create version-compatibility friction.

Best for

Budget-constrained SMB and mid-market organizations (25-2,500 devices), Zoho or ManageEngine-anchored buyers wanting unified IT-management stack, and Indian and APAC enterprises with local procurement preferences.

Worst for

Apple-exclusive enterprises (Jamf or Kandji win on Apple depth), large M365 E3/E5 organizations (Intune bundled cheaper), or buyers prioritizing modern admin UX (Kandji or Hexnode win).

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
