Key features for Apple devices
Secure your devices and the data in them
Ensure the security of your Apple devices and protect your company data by configuring devices according to your company policy.
- enforce a passcode
- lock and wipe a device
- reset/clear the passcode
- control/bypass activation lock
- use lost mode
- track device location
- separate business data from personal data with secure containers
- encrypt mobile device storage
In addition, you can deny data transfer between managed (company installed) and unmanaged (user installed) apps to protect your corporate data and user’s privacy.
Provide your employees with the right tools to work productively
Miradore’s app and content management capabilities allow you to deploy applications remotely to your employees’ iPhones and iPads.
- deploy, update, and remove in-house and App Store applications
- deploy software licenses
- manage application settings
- whitelist and blacklist applications
When an employee leaves the company, applications that have been deployed through an MDM software can be removed while keeping unmanaged (user installed) apps untouched.
Miradore supports Apple Volume Purchase Program (Apple VPP) for application deployment and software license management.
Set the right configurations for each iPhone and iPad
Make it easier for your employees to take new devices into use by configuring devices beforehand while saving both your employees’ and IT admin’s time.
- deploy email, Wi-Fi, and VPN configurations
- enforce the use of a password
- configure shared iPads
- manage application settings
- create custom configuration profiles
Managing iOS devices in the supervised mode enables wider management options and gives greater control over devices.
Take full control over device usage
Ensure that devices are always used correctly and safely by setting restrictions for your Apple devices.
- turn devices into Kiosk mode
- limit/deny data roaming
- filter web content
- blacklist applications
- deny device reset
- deny application installation/removal
- deny drive installation
Managing iOS devices in the supervised mode enables wider management options and gives you greater control over the device.

With Miradore, you can quickly get a view of your entire Apple device inventory and device users. You can access essential information on both hardware and software, including installed applications, device security status, and network data usage.
- dashboard widgets
- standard and custom reports

Manage iPhones and iPads efficiently
If you are managing multiple iOS/iPadOS devices, automating device management helps you save time and reduce human errors.
Automate device enrollment
Miradore supports Apple Business/School Manager for device enrollment automation.
Automate device configurations
Automate the deployment of various configurations, restrictions, applications, and files with Miradore’s Business Policies.
Business Policies are collections of applications and configurations that can be automatically deployed to devices based on device and user groups.
Supported Apple device management tools
Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager
Apple Business Manager (ABM) is Apple’s own web portal where IT administrators can see Apple devices and app licenses purchased by their organization and assign the devices for remote management. Apple School Manager (ASM) is a similar program for schools and other educational institutions.
Apple Business Manager was launched in 2018, integrating Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) and Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) into a single platform.
Apple Device Enrollment Program (Apple DEP)
Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) is part of Apple Business/School Manager and it helps IT admins to simplify initial device setup. With Apple DEP, you can automate and enforce the enrollment of your devices and ship devices directly to device users and manage them straight out of the box.
In practice, DEP enrolls your devices in Miradore when a user starts up the device for the first time or does a factory reset. After that, the management solution sets up your device according to your organization’s IT policies defined in Miradore.
Apple Volume Purchase Program (Apple VPP)
Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP) is part of Apple Business/School Manager. With VPP, you can buy and install apps for users silently. Moreover, you can buy all your licenses in one place, and distribute and revoke them as necessary.
Choose the right management methods for your devices
Supervised
The preferred method for company-owned devices
The supervised mode gives greater control over iPhones and iPads owned by a company as it enables additional device configurations and features.
By default, iOS/iPadOS devices are not supervised but the supervised mode can be set to devices using Apple Business/School Manager.
Unsupervised
A good option for personal devices that are already in use
The unsupervised mode can be used for personal devices that are not owned by the company.
Compared to the supervised mode, it has more limited management options, but a selective wipe can be used to remove installed business applications and configurations if an employee leaves the company.
The unsupervised mode is a good option for devices that are already in use as the supervised mode requires a reset when turned on.
Provide support for iPhone and iPad users with remote control
When you need to provide more hands-on support for your device users, you can start remote assistance sessions directly from Miradore with a TeamViewer integration.
- Start attended support sessions with remote access.
- View all necessary device data in Miradore.
- Change device configurations remotely.
YoungCapital saves 200 hours annually on setting up employees’ iPhones
YoungCapital, one of the largest recruitment technology firms in Europe, realized it needed a solution for iOS management. Some employees were changing sim cards, and there was no complete knowledge of the phone’s ownership or whereabouts.
“Facilitating the software setup is key to both the employee’s working experience and the operational success of the company. With Miradore, we saved 200 hours annually on setting up iPhones,” says Remon Van der Doorn of YoungCapital.
