Vendor Landscape: Mobile Device Management Suites
Bring some order to mobile technology gone wild.
More Details
Your Challenge
- Consumer devices are invading the enterprise, and bringing with them a variety of mobile operating systems and an unpredictable set of applications.
- This explosion in mobile devices on the corporate network brings not only security concerns, but practical problems with managing a variety of devices that contain both personal and corporate data.
- Mobile device management (MDM) solutions provide a central hub for management. They plug security holes, provide visibility and statistics about employees’ devices, and simplify recovery after something goes wrong. Not all MDM vendors provide the same functionality. Select an MDM solution that offers the features you need at the lowest price.
Our Advice
Critical Insight- Determine which MDM features are required and which can be left out. Some organizations only need a solution that keeps track of devices from a central hub, while others need advanced security or reporting. Some will need the control of an on-premise solution, while a cloud model is more cost effective for others.
- Create a shortlist of vendors that meet the unique needs of your organization.
- Choosing the right MDM solution will increase the efficiency and satisfaction of employees while maintaining security, without a massive burden on IT.
- Mobile technology is advancing rapidly, so it is also important to choose a vendor that will continue to innovate as the marketplace evolves.
