A Technical Comparison of Mobile Management Solution Features and Functions

Overview

Managing a fleet of mobile devices while ensuring end-to-end data integrity is a difficult task. Users want their desktop at their fingertips, with reliable access not only to familiar productivity tools such as email, calendar, and contact management, but critical line-of-business applications as well. For the IT team, fulfilling these expectations requires a delicate balancing act. Mobile devices not only transmit data over public networks but are also uniquely vulnerable to loss and theft. Security, both for the device and the critical data on it and for its connection to the corporate network, is paramount. But policy enforcement to protect corporate data should not come at the cost of user productivity, nor pose an undue burden to IT and the help desk.
