TinyMDM

What TinyMDM does

TinyMDM is a cloud-based Android Mobile Device Management (MDM) software-as-a-service product operated by Ars Nova Systems SAS, a French private company headquartered in Nantes. Founded in 2012 with the TinyMDM product launched in 2018, the company delivers centralized remote management of Android device fleets across four management modes: Kiosk Mode (COSU) for single-purpose devices, Fully Managed Mode (COBO) for company-owned business-only devices, Work Profile Mode (BYOD) for employee-owned devices, and WPCO Mode for company-owned devices with personal use. The platform is built on Google Android Enterprise EMM API with Samsung Knox integrations (Knox Mobile Enrollment for zero-touch deployment and Knox Service Plugin for OEMConfig), and all infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services in Europe (Ireland), with notification services also leveraging Google Cloud in Germany.

The product is a single unified offering in which every feature module — applications management, security compliance, location tracking, remote control, content sync, connectivity management, internet filtering, a REST API, and a private app store — is included in one plan without add-on fees. Differentiation centers on extreme simplicity for organizations without dedicated IT teams, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, and the all-inclusive pricing model. The company serves organizations of all sizes including SMBs, mid-market firms, and select enterprises, with named customers spanning retail (Líder Atacadista), industrial field service (Conveying & Hoisting Solutions), construction cooperatives (Macoretz Scop), transport (Blochon Martin), government (Saint-Louis City Hall), education (Münster University), and security (GR8 Security).

TinyMDM monetizes through recurring per-device subscription licenses on monthly or annual terms with automatic renewal, and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. A 30-day free trial without a credit card requirement anchors a product-led growth motion, complemented by an inside sales team handling personalized demos and RFP/quote support, and a global channel of more than 100 resellers operating in over 80 countries. The company markets through multilingual content (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian), vertical-specific white papers and webinars, YouTube demos, and industry events including Mobile World Congress. There are no disclosed external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors; the business has been built organically under Ars Nova Systems since its 2012 founding.

Direct peers

• Hexnode: Mitsogo-owned UEM platform targeting SMB and mid-market with multi-OS device management. Most direct competitor in the affordable UEM category, competing head-to-head on simplicity, pricing, and reseller-driven GTM.
• Miradore: Cloud-based MDM/UEM focused on SMB and mid-market, offering multi-OS support with a simple SaaS console. Closely comparable on buyer profile, ease-of-use positioning, and subscription pricing.
• Scalefusion: UEM vendor focused on Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS device management for SMB and enterprise, with strong kiosk and dedicated-device positioning. Directly comparable feature breadth and vertical targeting.
• Esper: Android-first dedicated device management platform for kiosks, point-of-sale, signage, and rugged devices. Most comparable to TinyMDM's Kiosk and dedicated-device use cases, especially in retail and industry verticals.
• JumpCloud: Cloud directory platform with bundled device management for SMB IT teams. Competes for the same 'unified, easy-to-use IT management' buyer persona that TinyMDM targets with its all-in-one MDM pitch.

Broad incumbents

• Jamf: Market-leading Apple-focused MDM/UEM vendor that has expanded into Android and Windows. Represents the broader enterprise UEM category, with much greater scale, enterprise sales coverage, and analyst visibility.
• Microsoft Intune: Enterprise UEM bundled into Microsoft 365 — the dominant incumbent for cross-OS device management in mid-market and enterprise. Sets the competitive ceiling on standalone MDM pricing and feature expectations.
• ManageEngine (Zoho): Broad IT management suite including endpoint management (Mobile Device Manager Plus) targeting SMB to enterprise. Comparable feature breadth and SMB-friendly pricing, but embedded in a much larger suite.
• Samsung Knox Manage: Samsung's first-party cloud-based EMM platform for Knox-enabled Android devices. Represents the OEM-owned competitive alternative to TinyMDM's Knox-integrated offering.
• Google Workspace Endpoint Management: Built-in device management for Google Workspace customers covering Android, iOS, and ChromeOS. Increasingly bundled with Workspace subscriptions, putting baseline Android management in scope for free with existing Google customers.
