A Mac hangs while its user waits on the phone. You shouldn’t have to wait for its next check-in — Addigy MDM manages Macs, iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs through Apple’s MDM and DDM channels plus an always-on agent, so a live terminal or remote session reaches a Mac now — and MSPs keep every client in its own tenant.

This page covers Addigy MDM — the Apple device management product, with the Intelligence Suite tier, Identity and Addigy Assist folded in. The rest:
Most product pages skip this. We start here — so you buy a capability, not a buzzword.
Apple’s MDM channel handles profiles and enrolment; a resident agent adds live access between check-ins.
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Check-in-only MDM, a console per client | Addigy MDM |
|---|---|---|
| Reaching a stuck Mac | Wait for the next MDM check-in, then retry | Agent connection opens a live terminal at once |
| New-hire laptop | Imaged and configured on a desk by IT | ADE plus Assist from the box at home |
| OS update compliance | Reminder emails that users postpone | DDM deadline, weekday rules and blackouts |
| Many client fleets | A separate console login per client | One dashboard, data isolated per tenant |
| Mac sign-in | Local accounts drifting from the directory | IdP login window with password sync |
| What it is NOT | — | A Windows or Android MDM, or an on-prem server |
The cheapest test is the free trial: enrol five spare Apple devices through ADE, fix one over the live terminal, and set one DDM update deadline.
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
A resident agent on each Mac holds a standing connection, so inventory, scripts, the live terminal and remote-in sessions act at once instead of at the next MDM check-in.
Profiles, supervision and ADE run through Apple’s MDM protocol, while declarative management enforces OS update deadlines for Macs from macOS 14 and for iPhones and iPads from version 17.
One SaaS console with data isolated per client organisation and SSO sign-in; it is cloud-native only, with no on-premises edition and no customer-selectable region.
Addigy’s subprocessor list names Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and MongoDB Atlas, each holding IP, device name and device data, all with US company locations.
Apple’s MDM and DDM for policy, a resident agent for live access — client tenants isolated in one US-hosted cloud.
Addigy MDM pairs Apple’s management channels with a resident agent, so an Apple fleet can be acted on live.
Native Apple Business Manager and School Manager links enrol Macs, iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs through ADE at first power-on.
Identity, in every plan, brings an Okta, Entra ID or Google Workspace login window, password sync, offline login and SCIM sync.
Addigy Assist, a native Swift app, takes over after ADE to walk a new Mac to work-ready, caching downloads on the local network.
Because the agent stays connected, live terminal, remote-in and inventory refresh happen in real time rather than on a polling cycle.
Declarative updates set an enforcement date and time, permitted weekdays and blackout periods for macOS 14+ and iOS 17+ fleets.
MSPs keep each client organisation’s data isolated while working from a single dashboard, signed into once through SSO.
The Prebuilt App catalogue, launched in July 2025, saves admins from packaging common Mac software one title at a time.
CIS, NIST, CMMC and DISA STIG checks come with the Intelligence tier; March 2026 added UK Cyber Essentials, NIS2 and the EU CRA.
AI Script Assist, plain-language reports and an MCP server with 240+ tools, every action passing an approval gate and role checks.
Addigy Assist taking a Mac from the box to work-ready (2025), Apple system updates (2023), the policy model (2022) and Automated Device Enrollment (2022). All from Addigy’s official channel.

Book a guided demo →Here’s what genuinely sets it apart — and exactly where it stops.
Most Apple MDMs wait for a device to poll Apple’s push service before anything happens. Addigy keeps a resident agent beside the profile, which it calls real-time rather than polling-based: a live terminal or remote-in session opens while the user is still on the call.
Addigy is Apple-only by design. ADE covers Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV; DDM enforces update deadlines with weekday rules and blackout windows; Platform SSO runs for Entra and Okta. Supervised devices can use Single App Mode, which TechBag does not grade as kiosk management.
Each client organisation is a tenant with its own isolated data inside a single console, and 39 listed integrations include Autotask, ConnectWise Manage, HaloPSA and IT Glue. MSP rates sit below direct ones but are quoted, not printed.
Windows PCs and Android phones need a second tool. Only the Mac price is public, so an iPad-heavy estate needs a quote. It is cloud-only on US-listed hosts with no India region, support keeps US and EU hours, ISO 27001 is missing, and Addigy’s own trust portal declines to call it HIPAA compliant today.
List Macs, iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs separately, since only the Mac rate is published and mobile is a quoted add-on.
Open the 14-day trial, link Apple Business Manager, and enrol a handful of spare Macs and iPads through ADE.
Fix a test Mac over the live terminal, then set a DDM update deadline with a blackout window and watch it land.
Connect Okta, Entra ID or Google for the login window, then link Autotask, ConnectWise or HaloPSA for tickets.
Move one client tenant or department at a time from the old MDM, and budget for Addigy’s quoted migration service.
Modelled on Gartner Peer Insights structure. *Counts and breakdowns are illustrative pending verified review collection.
“A designer’s Mac froze mid-render; I opened Addigy’s live terminal, killed the hung process and she never had to restart.”
“We look after nineteen client offices. Each sits in its own tenant, yet I review all their patch status from one screen.”
“Setting a DDM deadline with a Friday blackout ended the update nagging. Laptops patched overnight on the chosen weekdays.”
“New hires open the box at home and Assist walks them through sign-in with Okta. We stopped pre-staging laptops in the office.”
“Our Windows desktops still live in another tool, so we run two consoles. Fine for us, but plan for it if your estate is mixed.”
“Budgeting Macs was easy from the FAQ figure, but our iPads needed a quote, and waiting on it delayed sign-off by a week.”

Addigy MDM is one of 28 UEM & MDM products TechBag carries. The UEM & MDM guide narrows them to a shortlist and shows the reasoning. →
Drag the sliders (Apple devices you manage; IT-hour cost). Estimates model admin time spent hand-configuring new Apple devices, chasing OS updates and waiting on check-ins to fix stuck Macs, at an assumed 1.5 hours per device a year, with 70% of it removed by ADE enrolment, DDM deadlines and live agent access. Both figures are assumptions. Illustrative.
Loaded cost = salary + overheads per productive hour. Illustrative only — your TechBag quote models your actual environment and modules.
The only public figure sits in Addigy’s pricing FAQ — a $8.25 per Mac per month starting point — while the plan cards on that page read Request Custom Pricing. iPhone, iPad and Apple TV seats are an add-on at a separate per-device rate Addigy does not publish, MSP rates are lower and quoted, and no minimum device count is listed. Billing is per device per month with no multi-year contract required, though multi-year plans lock in a lower rate. A 14-day trial needs no credit card. Security Suite starts at $16 per Mac per month. TechBag splits your Mac and mobile seats first, then quotes in INR with GST.

Is every device Apple? Windows PCs and Android phones need another tool, as Addigy manages neither.
How many seats are iPhone, iPad or Apple TV? Their add-on rate is unpublished, so get it quoted in writing.
Are Macs on macOS 14 and iPhones on iOS 17 or later? Older devices fall back to MDM-only updates.
Were devices bought through Apple Business Manager channels? ADE zero-touch depends on it, not on Addigy.
Can your DPDP review accept device data with US-located subprocessors (GCP, AWS, MongoDB Atlas) and no region choice?
Do auditors need ISO 27001 or HIPAA compliance? Addigy’s reports are SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3, with a BAA on request.
Will US and EU support hours suit Indian working time, or should a partner cover first-line tickets?
Will you use the AI tier after 31 October 2026, when its free period ends? Price it before renewal.
Split your Macs from your iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs first, or let a TechBag advisor run the 14-day trial with you and get the mobile add-on rate quoted in writing.
