What is Ivanti Neurons for MDM?
MobileIron, acquired by Ivanti, supports enterprise security with a mobile-centric security platform for the Everywhere Enterprise. In the Everywhere Enterprise, corporate data flows freely across devices and servers in the cloud, empowering workers to be productive anywhere they need to work. To secure access and protect data across this perimeter-less enterprise, MobileIron leverages a zero trust approach, which assumes bad actors are already in the network and secure access is determined by a “never trust, always verify” model.
MobileIron’s platform combines unified endpoint management (UEM) capabilities with passwordless MFA (Zero Sign-On) and mobile threat defense (MTD) to validate the device, establish user context, verify the network, and detect and remediate threats to ensure that only authorized users, devices, apps, and services can access business resources in a “work from everywhere” world. The vendor states that over 20,000 organizations, including the world’s largest financial institutions, intelligence agencies, and other highly regulated companies, have chosen MobileIron to enable a seamless and secure user experience in the Everywhere Enterprise.

- Business Problems Solved
MobileIron has become the go-to solution for over 300 organizations seeking to effectively manage and control their mobile devices for business use. Users have found that it tackles a wide range of challenges, including compliance, security, deployment, and administration. One of its main strengths lies in its ability to deploy line of business apps as well as third-party apps to all devices, ensuring both device security and the deployment of required applications. This feature has been highly valued by organizations managing fleets of iPads and other mobile devices globally. Furthermore, MobileIron assists with better control over access, security, compliance, inventory, policies, and enrollment by providing remote management capabilities and facilitating document pushes and application installations from a single point. These functionalities are particularly beneficial for pilots, aircrew members, sales teams, field support personnel, and other mobile-focused workforces who require secure government data handling or easy management of operational devices. Across various industries, MobileIron has proven itself as a reliable tool for managing mobile devices' applications, security policies, provisioning across multiple countries, and adhering to NIST standards for security and compliance. It has successfully provided secure access to corporate email, calendars, custom-built applications on mobile devices across multiple offices while maintaining password controls and synchronizing contacts and calendars with Lotus Notes on BYOD phones. As businesses increasingly adopt BYOD policies or manage mixed fleets of managed devices and BYOD scenarios, MobileIron provides features like kiosk mode integration with Android Enterprise to overcome associated challenges. It ensures the safe handling of data and attachments while preventing unauthorized sharing and enables convenient distribution of applications company-wide. The software's asset tracking capabilities have been commended for helping organizations keep tabs on phone numbers, installed apps, and the overall security status of their devices. Not only does MobileIron excel at securing company cell phones but it also efficiently manages user access to business resources while ensuring encryption for emails. This level of device management is crucial when securing company-issued smartphones or managing mobile phones and iPads across an entire organization. MobileIron is trusted by hospitals and colleges to guarantee compliance with HIPAA regulations and provide secure access to email and internal mobile apps, streamlining registration processes with its dedicated support team. Additionally, it serves as a valuable MDM tool for organizations looking to develop and maintain their enterprise mobile applications securely. With a primary focus on providing enhanced security for mobile devices and maintaining secure connections with company servers, MobileIron has been successfully implemented in various industries, adding an extra layer of protection for mission-critical data.

(1-4 of 4)MobileIron in a Nutshell
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Airwatch, Intune, Casper, Zenprise, Dell, Good Technologies, Absolute, Sybase and Tango

- Policy enforcement per security requirements
- Ability to track lost devices and located them within the same building
- Deploy applications without user prompt.

MobileIron Core: Easy Device Management
- MobileIron has a very clean and simple to use interface. I have used other MDMs throughout my years and MI is the most intuitive of the bunch.
- iDevice management is well done. Though all MDMs have the same access as the others, MobileIron makes it easy to implement with clear descriptions of what each option does.
- The technical support is, for the most part, very professional, friendly, and helpful. There are still many things that I do not know how to do with MobileIron, but I am confident I can find an answer with the help of their support. The same cannot be said for other products within this realm.
- Documentation is hard to find. Most of MobileIron's (MI) documentation can only be accessed through an MI account. This, in itself, is not a problem. The problem is locating specific information. Typically with other MDMs, a quick google search will point you to the location of the documentation within the official website. The way MI has their documentation locked down, I cannot find anything I'm looking for through a google search. Also, there were times documentation is locked by permissions and links provided by support are inaccessible to me due to these restrictions.
- Sales - The sales team can sometimes come off as not genuine. I understand the purpose of sales is to sell and make money for the company, but the approach sometimes feels artificial; they say they have to company's best interest in mind, but the push for a sell like a car salesman.
- Many of the automation options are not explicitly available into MobileIron Core. I have to use a special scripting language to make MI do the things I need it to do, such as automatically retire devices that have been inactive for 60 days.
- The zero-touch iDevice deployment has saved countless hours for the help desk. The only extra step outside of MobileIron is registering each of the devices in Apple's DEP program.
- Ensuring that devices comply with the organization's security policy all from a single console saves time and money.
- The cost of securing non-exchange email on these devices cost a hefty penny.
- We're able to manage, deploy and even customize apps from the app store.
- In case of emergencies, we are able to use the location tracking to find employees or locate their lost devices.
- If a device is lost, we are able to remote wipe it.
- Because MobileIron's access into iOS is limited to what Apple gives MDMs access to, we've had to find ways to locate devices if users don't explicitly enable location services for the MI app. By putting the device into Lost Mode, we're force the device to provide its location details without the user having to enable Location services.
- In addition to MobileIron Access, we'll be able to truly lock down access to our Corp Data to only registered devices, giving users more incentive to register their BYOD in MobileIron.
Mobile Management Made Easy
- Security is excellent. We are able to manage and protect corporate information and it integrates with our existing requirements and practices. Enforcing secure passcodes and device lock/location services enables us to track all assets.
- User experience is much improved as we can easily migrate users to new devices and there is consistent branding and app availability. When a user enrolls, their assigned apps are automatically deployed.
- With iOS devices, zero-touch deployment and configuration is a reachable goal.
- MobileIron provides excellent sales and post-sales service. In addition, their support model is excellent and we've never had a significant down.
- The Core product's UI is very much in need of a refresh, but it doesn't get the love because most customers choose the cloud product, which looks entirely different.
- Splunk integration does not work well and requires a lot of manual intervention. The Splunk MIApp doesn't work out of the box, at all.
- There is no longer a mobile app for system management. It existed once upon a time, but is strangely missing in a platform that is all about mobile management.
- We have decreased service interruptions caused by manual configuration of devices. We have one entire area that depends on a custom app and another on a custom web UI that requires a local WAN connection, and now we can pre-load and manage the configurations for these devices.
- We are now able to enforce device compliance and security standards by requiring specific minimum OS versions based on device type, and compliance actions are available to further enhance this capability.
- If a user needs an app or specific configuration, we simply add them to the appropriate Active Directory security groups. LDAP integration takes care of the rest.
- Jamf Pro and Workspace ONE Powered by AirWatch
Single-app mode devices work great now that we've figured out how to deploy them. By this I mean that there is an iOS setting (Guided Access) that MUST be enabled before enrolling the device, or you're stuck with a device that needs a hard reset. This wasn't clear when we deployed the first batch of single-app devices, but now that's resolved. One great use case is an iPad that can only access one wireless network and only allows one website (internal) to be opened in Safari. I tasked my techs with breaking the security to get onto any other website, and none of them could do it. Very happy with the outcome!
Certificates can be a pain point, however. The application owner (myself in this case) needs to be on top of managing SSL certificates, because devices can silently fail to check in or receive updates and it isn't always clear what the root cause is. I'd love to see the MI folks add some type of reminder to update when the certificate(s) near expiry so that it doesn't catch admins by surprise.

My views on MobileIron
- With 6.0.1 it allows us to make very specific filters to apply to labels. This makes it easier to manage our different AD groups and make sure that our process is automated.
- MobileIron detailed very well what we need to do to ensure High Availability on our Sentry Servers and Disaster Recovery on our VSP. This sped up our process and we are now implementing HA.
- We also like how easy it is to add apk files for Android application distribution. We use this in our test environment and it works very well for Android.
- One of the things we would like to see with MobileIron is greater support or better PIM solutions that work with Lotus Notes. We know that it is a tall order but it is something that gives us the most trouble when trying to roll out Android devices with our BYOD program. As of now, we have yet to find a solution that works for our situation.
- Another great functionality that could be of some great use would be the ability to remotely control devices or at least view their screens. I know that controlling screens is possible with other MDMs and it would be great to see it on MI as well.
- Overall, it has increased customer satisfaction among our employees as it has allowed them to use iOS and some Android devices instead of BlackBerries. Most of our users were in BlackBerries so their efficiency hasn't really gone up but they are happier with their devices.
- Email, Contact, and Calendar Synchronization
- Security and encryption
- Delivery of applications
- Using Atlas for help desk support and becoming a tier 2 support for our end users.
- We have used MobileIron to track a lost iPhone for one of our employees.
- We are looking in to more application deployment.
- We are looking in to the Kiosk Mode for future tablets in our warehouses.
