What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isIBM's SaaS unified endpoint management console for mixed mobile, desktop and IoT fleets, priced per device.
Our takeMaaS360 is one of the few enterprise UEM tools with prices on the page, and the trial converts straight into production.
Most teams will land on Essentials or Deluxe; the secure browser and container only start at Premier. If you already pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium or E3, check Intune first because it may cost you nothing extra.
Why we rate itBroad OS coverage and transparent per-device pricing with a converting trial.
The catchAdvanced security sits in the two top tiers, and the discounted prices are a time-limited offer.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Trial sign-up in minutes; enrolling devices and policies takes longer.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Needing a secure browser or threat management pushes you to Premier or Enterprise.
  3. Walled garden
    Low to medium: manages many OS types; add-ons include TeamViewer.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does IBM MaaS360 cost?

Regular prices are per device per month: Fast Start $1.50, Essentials $4.24, Deluxe $5.30, Premier $6.63 and Enterprise $9.54. IBM is running a 30%-off offer on ibm.com purchases until 31 October 2026 (checked 4 October 2026).

Is there a free trial of MaaS360?

Yes, 30 days. IBM's docs say the trial account continues into production if you buy.

Which is better, IBM MaaS360 or Microsoft Intune?

It depends on your licences. Intune Plan 1 is $8.00 per user a month standalone and is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, E3 and E5, so many Microsoft shops already own it. MaaS360 is priced per device and covers a similar range of operating systems.

Can MaaS360 see my text messages or location?

IBM does not list reading text messages as a feature. What an employer can see or do, such as location or wiping, depends on the policies your IT team sets and whether your phone is company-owned or enrolled as BYOD, so ask your IT team.

How do I log in to the MaaS360 portal?

Conversion Gems is a review site, not IBM. IBM's documentation gives the admin portal sign-in at login.maas360.com.
