MDM Migration: Switch from Your Current MDM Vendor Without the Hassle

Looking to migrate from your existing MDM solution without any hassle? Whether you're navigating an Android or iOS MDM migration, switching from one MDM to another, or exploring a better MDM migration tool, the challenges can be overwhelming. But the right approach—and the right MDM partner—can make all the difference.

IT professionals across industries are sharing stories of complex transitions involving thousands of devices, conflicting email policies, and end-user confusion on Reddit. One admin managing a solo migration for over 1,500 devices struggled with balancing phased enrollment, email access, and onboarding. Others looked for “one-touch MDM migration” tools to simplify transitions—only to find that most tools still needed manual intervention. Another team explored third-party solutions that promised automation but found a lack of visibility and confidence in execution.

These stories highlight a universal truth: migrating from one MDM to another can feel intimidating. But with the right strategy and tools, it doesn’t have to be.

Why Businesses Migrate from One MDM to Another

As a business managing a range of corporate and employee-owned devices, you've likely invested considerable time and effort in selecting a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution or Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) vendor. But as technology evolves, so do your business needs.

From poor product customization to delayed feature rollouts, lackluster support, price hikes, and rigid or dated UIs—there are many reasons organizations choose to migrate MDM solutions. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

Challenges in MDM Migration

Switching from one MDM to another often brings a series of challenges:

• Compatibility Concerns: Even if major platforms are supported, it’s important to ensure the new MDM works seamlessly with your specific device models and OS versions—especially if you’re managing both COPE and BYOD devices.
• Feature Gaps: Not all MDMs support the same level of policy control or app deployment. Carefully map your use cases to the new platform.
• End-User Training: If users can’t navigate the new system, productivity drops. Hands-on guidance, documentation, or support is crucial.
• Migration Costs: Between platform evaluation, admin training, and user onboarding, costs can add up quickly—unless your vendor helps you minimize them.
