Overall Satisfaction with MobileIron

MobileIron is used as our primary MDM and we use it to maintain our fleet of Samsung Tablets, Apple iPhones, and a limited number of Android Phones. We use it across the whole organization. It enables us to deploy line of business apps as well as third-party apps to all devices.
  • They do a good job of providing training resources and technical documentation.
  • It does well at keeping track of assets and letting you know if any have fallen out of trust.
  • App wrapping, document management, email management, et cetera.
  • The pricing is fairly steep.
  • Sometimes the labels and policies get a bit confusing.
  • There is certainly ROI versus having to deploy apps manually, or relying on end users to update their apps themselves.
  • AirWatch and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security
For us, the primary reason to stay with MobileIron is that we can do Device-based management. Intune, for example, only does user-based management.
I think if you were only deploying and managing Android devices then the MDM offering from Google might make more sense. In a mixed environment it is very valuable to have.
