Overall Satisfaction with MobileIron
We use MobileIron to secure company cell phones issued to doctors and extenders that need access to email and other resources on the go. Our primary reason for purchasing MobileIron initially was for email encryption and phone security. Being able to manage users access to business resources and be confident that a lost device would not result in a regulatory infraction.
- Securely delivering email.
- Enforcing phone security policies.
- Providing management and visibility of mobile devices.
- At this time, we have had users have issues with their devices checking the servers only if they use cellular and not WiFi.
- Getting into additional features beyond the basics is not as intuitive as we would like.
- Notifications and notification conditions could be broader to allow more types of alerts.
- As mentioned, security has been our goal and MobileIron has provided it.
- Ease of add and removal of devices, as employees have come and gone.
- Compliance with HIPAA standards for the handling of email securely.
MobileIron was a better fit for our size organization. The MS office 365 tools become available with a higher tier of license than the one we own. So for a small deployment MobileIron was the better fit. If we were to scale up our Office 365 deployment and licenses then we would like consolidate our secure email services through them.
The other benefit is mobile device management which O365 does not appear to offer, so MobileIron allows that level of management control.
