Top 6 Endpoint Management Software with Prices

The most common case of cybercrime is unauthorized access to unmanaged devices.¹ As hybrid work models and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies become standard practice, endpoint management software, such as NinjaOne Endpoint Management and Acronis Cyber Protect, has evolved from a convenience into a necessity.

We analyzed the leading endpoint management platforms based on their differentiating features and pricing:

Endpoint management vendor analysis

NinjaOne Endpoint Management

NinjaOne provides tools for IT teams and MSPs, including automated patch management, remote monitoring and management, endpoint management, and mobile device management (MDM).

We benchmark NinjaOne’s RMM capabilities and present results in Remote Control Software. In our benchmark, NinjaOne required enabling a separate remote control module, installing a desktop client, and delivering RDP-based sessions with detailed configuration options. Background access with MFA worked without disrupting the active user. File transfer speeds were inconsistent across regions, and screen sharing on macOS worked after we manually adjusted system permissions.

Pricing: The base pay-per-endpoint structure for NinjaOne starts at $1.50 USD per month for customers with 10,000 endpoints and increases to $3.75 USD for 50 or fewer endpoints, with prices varying by volume.

Key capabilities

• Single console for three OS families: Device inventory, remote scripting, patch deployment, and health status for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Health-status flags: Failing disks, driver problems, and stopped services surface without opening each device.
• Group policies: Configuration policies apply to device groups rather than machine by machine.

NinjaOne manages Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints from a single console, combining device inventory, remote scripting, patch deployment, and automated health status in one place instead of requiring separate tools per operating system.

A dedicated health-status flag surfaces failing disks, driver problems, and stopped services without an admin having to open each device individually, and configuration policies can be pushed to device groups rather than machine by machine.²

NinjaOne reported serving close to 40,000 customer organizations across more than 140 countries around its June 2026 funding round, which valued the company at $12.3 billion following more than $400 million in Series C extensions.³

Acronis RMM

Acronis RMM is the endpoint management module of Acronis Cyber Protect. It covers monitoring, remote desktop, patch management, scripting, and software deployment, and runs on the same agent as Acronis backup and security services. Features depend on the licence.

In our remote control benchmark, the first Acronis session required installing a desktop client; later connections reused saved credentials. Acronis supported both its own NEAR protocol and RDP, including joining an active session, and required choosing credentials per user. It showed real-time performance metrics during sessions. A browser-based option needed less setup but gave lower session quality.

Key capabilities

• Patch management: Patches Microsoft products and more than 300 third-party Windows applications. Fail-safe patching takes an image backup before each patch, so a system can be restored if an update fails.
• Remote desktop: Supports NEAR and RDP, plus a browser-based option with lower session quality (tested in our benchmark).
• Software deployment: A built-in software catalog lets admins choose version, language, and architecture (tested in our RMM benchmark).
• Single agent: Monitoring, patching, backup, and security services run from one agent and one console; available features depend on the licence.

Microsoft Intune 

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based unified endpoint management solution deeply integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, offering device and application management across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms.

Pricing: Microsoft Intune Plan 1 is priced at $8.00 per user per month as a standalone subscription. It’s also included with Microsoft 365 E3, E5, F1, and F3 subscriptions, as well as Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 and E5 plans. Intune Plan 2 (advanced endpoint management) adds $4.00 per user per month, while Intune Suite adds $10.00 per user per month.

Key capabilities

• Cross-platform management: Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and Linux from the Intune admin center.
• Conditional access: Device compliance state feeds Microsoft Entra ID access decisions.
• Licensing: Included with Microsoft 365 E3, E5, F1, and F3 and with Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 and E5. Plan 1 is $8.00 per user per month standalone.
• Advanced capabilities: Remote Help, Endpoint Privilege Management, and Advanced Analytics moved into E3 and E5 in 2026; other Intune Suite capabilities stay add-ons.

Omnissa Workspace One

Omnissa Workspace ONE combines unified endpoint management, app delivery, and identity for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, and Linux devices. The product line moved to Omnissa when VMware’s end-user computing business became a standalone company.

Key capabilities

• Sensors and scripts: Sensors collect device data for conditional logic, and scripts handle configuration and remediation inside workflows.⁴
• Freestyle Orchestrator: A drag-and-drop workflow builder for onboarding, app sequencing, compliance enforcement, and lifecycle tasks across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Horizon virtual desktops.

Cisco Meraki

Meraki Systems Manager is Cisco’s cloud endpoint management product, managed from the same dashboard as Meraki networking hardware.

Key capabilities

• Enrollment options: MDM profiles cover every supported platform, and Windows and macOS can also run the Meraki agent, which adds custom software deployment and remote desktop. Both methods can run on the same device.
• Network-aware policies: The Sentry features tie Systems Manager to Meraki wireless, switching, and security appliances, so device posture affects network access.
• Platform limitation: Systems Manager does not support Apple’s Declarative Device Management.⁵

Citrix Endpoint Management

Citrix delivers IT solutions for hybrid and remote work environments, including employee performance analytics, remote connection services, network access solutions, and endpoint management.

Citrix Endpoint Management, formerly XenMobile, provides MDM and mobile application management as part of the Citrix Workspace platform. It runs as a Citrix Cloud service, and the on-premises variant continues as XenMobile Server.⁶

Common features of endpoint management software

Endpoint management software typically offers a wide range of capabilities to help organizations efficiently manage their endpoint devices. Here are some common capabilities:

1. Inventory: Agents report hardware specs, installed software, OS build, and network configuration, so unmanaged or out-of-date machines surface without a manual audit.

2. Configuration and policy enforcement: Settings reach devices as policies applied to groups rather than machine by machine. Typical targets are disk encryption, local admin rights, screen lock, and browser or firewall settings.

3. Patch management: The platform detects missing operating system and third-party application updates, then deploys them on a schedule with maintenance windows and approval steps. Coverage of third-party applications differs widely between vendors.

4. Software deployment: Applications install, update, or uninstall remotely, through a package library or custom scripts, with no physical access to the device.

5. Remote monitoring and troubleshooting: Health and performance data arrives continuously, and technicians open remote sessions, run scripts, restart services, or read logs from the console. Session logging and consent prompts vary by product.

6. Mobile device management: Enrollment through Apple Business Manager, Android Enterprise, or Windows provisioning brings phones and tablets under the same policies, including remote lock and selective wipe for BYOD devices.

7. Reporting and compliance: Patch status, encryption state, and policy drift feed audit reports for frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and HIPAA.

Where endpoint management deployments run into trouble

Feature parity across operating systems. Most platforms manage Windows deeply and other systems more thinly. Trend Micro’s and Meraki’s console-level differences are one example: Meraki Systems Manager does not support Apple’s Declarative Device Management, so some features stop working on iOS 26 and macOS 26. Check the vendor’s per-OS feature matrix before assuming that the tick marks in any comparison table mean the same thing across all platforms.

Third-party patch coverage. Operating system patching is table stakes. The gap between products is the third-party application catalog: how many applications it covers, how fast new versions arrive, and whether risky updates can be paused.

Licensing model mismatch. Per-endpoint pricing (NinjaOne, Acronis, Meraki) and per-user pricing (Intune) produce different totals depending on how many devices each employee carries. A workforce with a laptop and a phone each doubles the cost under per-endpoint licensing.

Differentiating features of endpoint management solutions

• OS Support: The range of operating systems that the endpoint management platform can manage and secure. This includes desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile operating systems (iOS, Android), and specialized systems (Chrome OS).
• Pricing model: Per-endpoint licensing charges for each managed device, per-user licensing charges for each person, regardless of device count. The two produce different totals in fleets where employees carry more than one device.
• Remote support: Provides assistance and troubleshooting for IT issues remotely. Enables remote lock, wipe, and block controls for admins.
• Automated patch management: The system’s ability to discover, approve, download, and deploy software and security patches to endpoints automatically without manual IT intervention, typically for third-party applications and operating systems.
• Zero trust/VPN capabilities: The inclusion of technology to enable secure access to corporate resources based on a “never trust, always verify” model, often replacing or enhancing traditional Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology for remote users.
• File transfer: Technicians push or pull files to a managed device, usually inside a remote session. Transfer speed and file size limits differ by product and by region.
