See why your peers prefer Mobile Device Manager Plus for managing their devices

We just recently upgraded about 100 devices, and the fact that you can set groups and policies and push content and apps to the devices automatically reduced 80% of the migration time, where it would have taken weeks to complete this task without an MDM. The geofencing and location tracking are also bonuses.

LJ H. Operations assistant, Construction

I really like how easy it is to deploy and have devices set up and ready for users. I can have a new phone set up for a user in under seven minutes, and most of that time is me having to get all the apps set up to work with our systems.

MDM 101: The basics of Mobile Device Management (MDM) explained

  • 1. What is mobile device management (MDM)?

    Mobile device management involves managing the entire life cycle of every mobile device used within an enterprise. Mobile device management focuses on monitoring, securing, and restricting the smartphones, tablets, and laptops that access enterprise data.

  • 2. Why is mobile device management (MDM) important?

    With the surge in the use of mobile devices for work, it has become essential for IT teams to ensure these devices are secure enough to handle corporate data. However, with multiple mobile device types, platforms, and OS versions available, it can be tricky to ensure consistent corporate control over them all. Additionally, mobile devices are often vulnerable to security threats that can result in the leaking of sensitive corporate data. This is why enterprise mobile device management is critical. By leveraging the capabilities of MDM tools, IT admins can ensure every mobile device in the organization is safe and secure enough to access corporate data.

  • 3. What are the essential features of a mobile device management (MDM) solution?

    Mobile device management (MDM) tools typically allow IT admins to:

    • Enroll mobile devices to bring them under corporate management.
    • Provision managed devices with the required security policies, restrictions, apps, and content.
    • Monitor and manage devices on a daily basis and maintain corporate data security by taking proactive and reactive measures.
    • Securely retire devices at the end of their life cycles to prevent the misuse of devices and corporate data.
  • 4. How does mobile device management (MDM) simplify device enrollment?

    Enrolling devices paves the way for them to be managed through an MDM solution. MDM tools come with over-the-air, bulk enrollment capabilities that allow IT admins to onboard devices across OSs and types without having to physically handle them. Corporate devices can be seamlessly enrolled and provisioned right after purchase by integrating an MDM solution with portals like Apple Business Manager, Android zero-touch enrollment, and Samsung Knox. Employee-owned devices in BYOD environments can also be enrolled by sending invites or by allowing users to enroll themselves.

  • 5. How does mobile device management (MDM) help ensure mobile device security?

    Mobile device management tools provide features that help ensure the three pillars of data security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability of corporate data on devices.

    • Confidentiality: Malicious apps, domains, and automated cloud backups can be blocked on devices, providing users with a trusted app to access corporate documents while keeping sensitive data away from these app providers, domains, and cloud services. Passwords can be mandated, and the corporate data on an employee-owned device can be exclusively wiped when the employee exits the organization. Lost or stolen devices can be remotely locked and even wiped of corporate data, thereby maintaining its confidentiality.
    • Integrity: Using MDM, admins can ensure managed devices do not connect to public Wi-Fi and can automate connecting to the corporate VPN when work apps are accessed, thus keeping data in transit secure from man-in-the-middle attacks. Access to corporate servers can be limited to only managed devices to prevent bad actors from accessing and manipulating sensitive enterprise data on these servers.
    • Availability: The required corporate apps and files can be shared with a workforce's devices, eliminating the need for employees to seek out these resources from third-party sites, which results in shadow IT.The required corporate apps and files can be shared with a workforce's devices, eliminating the need for employees to seek out these resources from third-party sites, which results in shadow IT.
  • 6. How does ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus simplify MDM?

    ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus is a powerful mobile device management tool that simplifies MDM by:

    • Allowing enterprise- and employee-owned devices across Apple OSs, Android, Windows, and Chrome OS to be onboarded over the air and in bulk with multiple enrollment methods.
    • Having several preset security policies and restrictions ready to enforce on devices to make them corporate-ready, including the possibility to configure devices as kiosks.
    • Comprehensively managing inventory with real-time, granular information about every device.
    • Distributing work apps and content to devices with zero user intervention.
    • Remotely viewing, controlling, and troubleshooting devices with technical issues.
    • Tracking the real-time geographic locations of devices and achieving location-based compliance.
    • Facilitating secure device retirement through wiping corporate data on devices that are lost, stolen, misplaced, or no longer in corporate use.
