Most MDM products were designed to do one thing: get a configuration file onto a device. When posture changed once a quarter and a person clicked every button, that was enough.

Fleets are mixed now. Threats move in hours. And software has started making changes to infrastructure faster than anyone can review them. A tool built around pushing config has no answer for who approved a change, whether it still holds a week later, or what should happen when an agent asks to wipe something at 3am.

Agentless usually means a thinner product. No binary on the endpoint, and quiet gaps where the vendor supports something the product never got around to.

Ours are schema-driven. The settings you can configure are generated from what Apple, Microsoft and the distros publish themselves, so coverage follows the vendor instead of our roadmap. Nothing of ours runs on the device, which means nothing of ours fights the agent you already ship.

Underneath, everything is a connector. You send one request. The platform works out which connector can carry it out for that device, that OS and that enrollment type, and runs it. You never pick a transport or write protocol code, and adding a platform doesn’t change anything you wrote.

Device events stream out live in OCSF, so they land in your SIEM next to everything else you already correlate. That part is table stakes.

The useful part is that the stream goes both ways. An analyst who spots something can pull that device’s posture, then isolate it, lock it, or push a configuration change, from the same console they were already looking at. No second tab, no ticket to the endpoint team, no waiting until morning.

Anything destructive still goes through an Approval Gate. The audit trail shows who asked, who approved, and what actually ran.
