Migrating MDMs is Now Easier than Ever
The 2025 Apple update revolutionized MDM migration, eliminating the need to wipe devices when re-assigning them to a new solution in Apple Business Manager. For you, this means migrating your entire fleet from Kandji to Miradore is easier and faster than ever. Now is the perfect time to make the move and start realizing the benefits of a simpler, more cost-effective MDM solution.
Why Switch from Kandji to Miradore?
We know switching MDMs is a big decision. Here’s why moving to Miradore is worth it:
Cross-Platform Support
Stop managing multiple tools. Miradore supports iOS, macOS, Windows, and Android from a single console, so you can save time, reduce license costs, and unify policy enforcement across your entire mixed-OS fleet.
Clear & Affordable Pricing
Eliminate complex tiered costs. Miradore offers a single per-device price for all platforms, meaning you can manage laptops and phones at the same low price. Plus, enjoy flexible licensing like our monthly pay-as-you-go model, which ensures you only pay for active licenses.
Multi-Instance Management
Manage multiple Miradore instances from one central view, without compromising security. From our MSP Portal, you can view user permissions and payment information for all clients, centrally manage and share configuration profiles, and even get insights into estimated monthly costs and projected sales revenue.
Mapping Your Migration: The Kandji-to-Miradore Cheat Sheet
Every MDM system is a little different, and transitioning can feel daunting. We've mapped out the core concepts from Kandji to Miradore here to show you how easy it is to adopt a simpler, more unified workflow for your entire fleet.
Kandji Concepts to Miradore Equivalents
| Kandji Concept | Miradore Equivalent | Key Differences & Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Devices Page | Devices Page | The experience is similar: a central view for sorting, filtering, and performing bulk actions, but Miradore houses all platforms (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android) in one central tab. |
| Library | Applications, Configuration Profiles, & Files/Certificates Pages | Instead of one central Library, Miradore separates building blocks into three dedicated pages. This simplifies navigation and tracking, as each page focuses only on its item type. |
| Blueprints / Assignment Maps | Business Policies | In Miradore, a Business Policy acts as a sort of blueprint where you can bundle different items (configuration profiles, apps, etc.), set dependencies, and deploy to a group of devices. Unlike Kandji’s Blueprints, you can assign multiple different Business Policies to a device, allowing for more flexibility in cross-platform environments. |
| Tags | Tags | Just like in Kandji, Tags are used to group devices locally. In Miradore, Tags define the scope or target devices for a Business Policy. |
| Library Item Type: Apps & Custom Scripts | Applications Page | A central page for all app types across all operating systems, including VPP apps, in-house apps, custom deployment files (.pkg, .msi, .apk), and custom scripts. |
| Library Item Type: Profiles | Configuration Profiles | A dedicated page for profiles that define settings such as Application Blocklists, Passcode, Wi-Fi, and Restrictions. Can be deployed to individual devices from within the Configuration Profiles tab or to groups of devices via a Business Policy. |
| Library Item Type: Enrollment Configuration | Enrollment Profiles | ADE enrollment customization is handled by creating a dedicated Enrollment Profile within the Apple DEP page. (Note: Zero Touch Enrollment for Android is customized directly in the Android Enterprise portal.) |
| Vulnerability Management | Patch Management | A single page for managing both OS updates and a wide selection of third-party application patches for both Mac and Windows, complete with automation and pilot group options. |
| Prism | Report Builder & Dashboards | For a quick overview of your fleet, use Miradore’s customizable Dashboard. Dig deeper with the versatile Report Builder and built-in reports, which let you create unique, granular reports using a wide range of device data. |
| Device Actions | Device Page Dropdowns | Remote commands (wipe, lock, restart, etc.) are available via the Actions, Lifecycle, Security, and Deploy dropdowns in the individual Device Page. |
Deployment Workflow Comparison
| In Kandji | In Miradore |
|---|---|
| 1. Create Items: Create/Add all items (Apps, Profiles, Scripts) in the centralized Library repository. | 1. Create Items: Create/Add items in their respective pages: Configuration Profiles, Applications, or Files & Certificates. From here, you can assign items to individual devices directly, or do the following: |
| 2. Define Blueprint: Add the relevant Library Items to a Blueprint. | 2. Define Business Policy: Bundle multiple items into a Business Policy and set any dependencies. |
| 3. Assign Scope: Define the scope and conditional logic using an Assignment Map within the Blueprint to roll out the items to the target group. | 3. Assign Scope: Assign a Business Policy to the targeted group of devices by assigning the Business Policy to custom Tags. From this single Business Policy page, you can track the deployment status for all tagged devices. |
The Result: Miradore's Business Policy method provides a more modular, streamlined approach that is better suited for environments with multiple operating systems. Having different, targeted Business Policies—rather than one monolithic blueprint with complex conditional logic—allows for more flexibility and makes it easier to manage and track specific deployments across your entire fleet.
