Alternatives to Microsoft Intune
Microsoft Intune is the market-leading UEM platform and is increasingly bundled into Microsoft 365 E3/E5 — but not every organization wants (or needs) to depend on the Microsoft ecosystem just to manage devices. Here are alternatives with more transparent pricing, an Android-first focus, or broader platform coverage.
1. Zonix EM
Android-focused MDM with transparent USD pricing, native frontline features (clock-in, inventory checkout), and LGPD-first data handling. Integrates with Intune for compliance sync instead of forcing a full migration.
2. Hexnode
Broad cross-platform coverage (Android, Apple, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS) with transparent self-service pricing from $2.20/device/month.
3. Scalefusion
Strong dedicated-device/kiosk and BYOD focus, with zero-trust access included, estimated at $2–$8/device/month.
4. SOTI MobiControl
Enterprise UEM focused on rugged devices, logistics, and field service, supporting 350+ device manufacturers — quote-based enterprise sales.
Frequently asked questions
Why consider an alternative to Microsoft Intune?
Organizations that don't run Microsoft 365 E3/E5 (or don't want to expand that licensing) may find a dedicated MDM simpler to set up and budget for.
Does Zonix EM fully replace Intune?
It can, for Android device management. For environments already running Microsoft 365, Zonix EM also integrates with Intune for compliance sync, allowing coexistence.
Which alternative has the most transparent pricing?
Zonix EM, Hexnode, and Scalefusion all publish per-device pricing directly on their websites. SOTI is quote-based enterprise sales.
Is any of these free?
None of these alternatives offer a permanent free tier at meaningful scale in this list — Zonix EM offers a 14–30 day free trial with no credit card required.
