We looked at using ABE, but given ManageGiven the engine's ease of use and other applications, we decided to go with MDM instead, which we like a lot. If you want an all-inclusive platform, I recommend Manage Engine MDM.

MaaS360 is very comparable and was the solution we had in place prior to moving to ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus. I've also used MaaS360 at a prior position, and it does work fairly well. I believe they have very similar feature sets (at least what I recall from last …

We use it to force Kiosk mode on tablets where we will have multiple users accessing the device, but want to limit what they can do on the device. There is also a way to deploy custom apps for kiosk mode and I could see that working well as a time clock or point of sale system.

An amazing solution for an organisation of up to 25 devices as they offer a free subscription. You could use this to trial the product at your organisation. The perfect fit for any size of organisation with the software being simple enough for non-technical staff to be able to deploy and manage devices.

Pros

  • Device Management
  • Monitoring of Device Usage
Read full review
  • Integration with our user system (Windows Active Directory/Azure).
  • An amazing feature which automatically syncs users from our central source so we don't have to do this manually, reducing errors and automating the staff onboarding experience. This also allows groups which we can use to target devices / profiles.
  • Remote control of devices.
  • Being able to remotely screen share and take control of devices allowed us to instantly respond and resolve issues with settings/apps on our users devices without having to bring the devices into the office allowing a quicker resolution of problem and minimising impact to business.
  • Simple Setup
  • The configuration of devices through profiles is incredibly easy to do, yet flexible with numerous options we can enable. The best feature ultimately is the simplicity. You just select the options you want without having to select 10 other required settings.
  • Responsive support.
  • On a few occasions we had some issues (down to user error) we were able to joing live chat with support and within a matter of minutes they were able to show us where we went wrong before anyone noticed the mistake.

Cons
  • Installation & Setup
  • First time configuration
  • Play Store Intergration
Read full review
  • Documents are sorted by some random order by default, users need to manually select "sort by A-Z", and even by doing so, coming out of documents and back in will reset the order to the random one. Would be amazing if A-Z was default, or if I could find out what this default order was to edit the files accordingly.
  • Playing audio files from the app is approached as if it was a video: if you come out of the app or lock the screen, the audio will stop. Would be great if it could act like music apps and keep playing with locked screen.
