Apple device management built for modern IT
Workspace ONE UEM brings zero-touch onboarding, software update enforcement, app deployment, and security together for Apple devices.
Zero-touch device onboarding
Workspace ONE UEM streamlines enrollment for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices using Apple Business's automated device enrollment. IT teams onboard devices with minimal manual intervention, right out of the box.
Declarative device management
Declarative device management (DDM) enables efficient configuration and OS updates for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with reduced server communication. Devices evaluate their own state and report back proactively, speeding up deployment.
Platform single sign-on (SSO)
Platform SSO pairs hardware-backed device identity with Microsoft Entra ID and Apple's Secure Enclave for streamlined sign-on. Employees authenticate once and gain seamless access to Microsoft 365 and other enterprise apps.
App lifecycle management
Streamline app deployment and management across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with end-to-end app lifecycle management. From a single console, IT teams can deploy, update, and manage applications, including access to a built-in Enterprise App Repository of 50+ pre-packaged Mac apps that helps to eliminate manual packaging and version management.
Frontline and shared device support
Workspace ONE helps organizations support frontline and shared Apple devices with streamlined provisioning, role-based access, and simplified device experiences. IT teams can configure shared-use scenarios, manage user access, and maintain device compliance from a single platform, reducing operational overhead. This enables employees to securely access the tools they need on shared iPads and iPhones while keeping devices ready for the next user.
Return to Service
With Apple Return to Service, Workspace ONE prepares shared iPhones and iPads for the next user without IT intervention. A remote command wipes user data, restarts setup, re-enrolls the device, and automatically reapplies apps, policies, and configurations for a consistent experience.
Security and compliance
Continuous device posture monitoring and policy enforcement keep Apple devices in a security-hardened state. Compliance reporting gives IT teams ongoing visibility across the Apple fleet.
Digital employee experience
Digital employee experience (DEX) provides real-time visibility into Apple device performance, app responsiveness, and user experience. Automated remediation can resolve issues before employees notice them.
Workflow automation
Freestyle Orchestrator uses low-code automation workflows for Apple device provisioning, app deployment, and lifecycle management. This enables IT team to scale operations without added manual scripting.
