MobileIron in a Nutshell
Pros
- Easy management of Apple/Android devices
- Offer a BYOD portal so that the end user can bring in their own device and not compromise your network
- Security management of devices to ensure they comply with security guidelines.
Cons
- Application Deployment, they can deploy apps but it just doesn't work as well as other vendors in my eyes.
- User device tracking, It use to exist in previous iOS versions but apple took away that functionality so now we cannot track devices and Mobile Iron still hasn't offered a solution to fix this.
- Reporting needs to be revamped, Running any report there usually has to be done though back end tools and no nice gui interface
- Alerting and advanced alerting doesn't work as they advertised. You again have to use back end tools to accomplish this.
Return on Investment
- Mobile Iron has been a great return on investment for our initial apple deployments and got us going with a smooth deployment.
- Mobile Iron has decreased our technician needs to retouch devices constantly and let them perform their normal duties.

Pros

MobileIron is an easy to deploy MDM software that will meet your security/compliance needs.
Pros
- MobileIron has a very easy to deploy architecture. We reviewed other products before making our business decision to deploy MobileIron, and one of the reasons we selected MobileIron was due to the ease of deployment, the low footprint, and the ease of configuration.
- MobileIron has a broad range of customizations and add-on products that make it an ideal product for a number of additional use cases. None of these use cases got business backing at BH Media, but Docs@Work and Apps@Work are two features that would make MobileIron an ideal tool for a customer who needs to allow BYOD or company devices the ability to access documents or applications without VPN.
- MobileIron is supported by a large number of devices and their operating systems. In a company which allows BYOD devices, you can't always control what device a user is going to bring in. MobileIron has support for older devices and OS versions and is also quick to adopt newer devices, so a new device isn't shut out in the cold waiting for a vendor to update their software.
Cons
- During upgrades to the Core server when a device loses contact with the Core, the MDM profile is removed from the phones and when installed back unique user customizations are lost. If a user has unique customizations this should be stored in the Core DB so that when redeployed, the customizations are added back too.
- Android devices do not have the best mail container. The email+ feature is an add on. If this is selected then a user must rely on the native mail app for androids which is often difficult to use. iOS and other devices do not have this required add-on. This android add-on should be native to the software.
- Android devices have a hard time handling user password changes. The passwords are cached on the android (natively) and MobileIron will quickly lock a user's AD account out. This causes our Enterprise Service Desk a headache dealing with these devices. If MobileIron flushed the credentials from an android or injected the new credentials into the android cache (which it appears to do for iOS) this would not be a headache.
Return on Investment
- The installation of MobileIron was for security compliance so we could containerize email on BYOD devices and also control who got email on company phones (to prevent hourly workers from working on emails after hours). MobileIron met this need nicely.
- MobileIron allowed us to utilize device certificates to prevent unauthorized devices from joining wireless networks in our company.
- MobileIron allows our sales staff to get emails on the road and many users rely on the functionality and ease of the phone for general mail communication.
MobileIron: best MDM solution

- Device registration is intuitive and robust

Cons

Return on Investment
- Positive impact with increased productivity of mobile sales force
