Overall Satisfaction with AirWatch

We are currently using AirWatch across our whole organization. We required an enterprise mobile management solution that would fill in the gaps of Microsoft's ActiveSync, and support the various mobile OSs out there including Android and iOS.
  • AirWatch is very easy to set up with their web portal and the mobile device drivers.
  • There is a lot of useful information about device versions, device usage, device compliance, etc., on the portal.
  • AirWatch allows for a single pane of glass view into all the mobile devices in your firm.
  • iOS devices have been very compatible with AirWatch, but there are certain droids that are not supported, such as the Google Pixel.
  • There have been some strange network issues where AirWatch will not activate over wifi and needs to be activated over our mobile LTE network.
  • The small footprint of AirWatch provided us instant ROI, and the low yearly fees versus other on-prem solutions made it much more attractive to us.
We use the hosted version of AirWatch, which is a very lightweight solution and doesn't require any on-prem infrastructure. We wanted a smaller footprint and got it with this solution. However, we would have liked airwatch to be more security-centric so we wouldn't have to look for a mobile security vendor as well.
