Cross Platform MDM FAQs

What is cross platform MDM?

Cross platform MDM refers to mobile device management that supports multiple operating systems within a single solution. This allows IT teams to manage iOS, macOS, Android, and other devices through one unified interface. The goal is to streamline policy enforcement, configuration, and compliance across a diverse device fleet without relying on separate tools for each OS.

Does NinjaOne MDM support Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android?

NinjaOne’s MDM supports iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android. Windows and Linux are supported under NinjaOne’s endpoint management platform, but not within the mobile device management feature set. MDM-specific policies such as device enrollment and mobile security settings are exclusive to supported mobile platforms.

How easy is it to onboard new devices?

Device onboarding with NinjaOne is designed to be fast and scalable. IT can pre-configure device enrollment configuration profiles and push them via Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager, or Android Enterprise. Devices automatically enroll and apply the correct policies at first boot—no minimal manual steps required from the end user.

Can NinjaOne MDM automate device compliance and security updates?

Yes. NinjaOne allows IT to configure compliance policies and push security settings automatically during enrollment or based on group assignments. Admins can enforce encryption, apply security patches, disable vulnerable features, and receive alerts when devices drift from compliance baselines.

What makes NinjaOne different from other MDM platforms?

Unlike traditional MDMs, NinjaOne offers a lightweight, cloud-native experience with no need for on-prem servers or complex configurations. It combines MDM with endpoint monitoring, patch management, and ticketing for a full IT operations platform. The result is a simplified, modern MDM solution that fits both MSPs and in-house IT teams managing Apple and Android environments.
