Overall Satisfaction with MobileIron

We support and provide services to companies who utilize MobileIron. So I manage the MobileIron environments for those companies.

We also utilize our own instance for corporate devices. I manage that instance as well. For all parties, it addresses the issues of managing mobile devices and company property while allowing users to still have freedom of their phones.
  • Reporting - between Assemble and the newer updates they do a really good job on reports
  • Updates - usually when a new version of iOS comes out they support it quickly and efficiently
  • Custom searches - I enjoy the capabilities for custom search of devices or users since we get some different requests for each company we support
  • Ease of use - compared to AirWatch, MobileIron is a little hard to use and view, but it has improved
  • Cloud instance doesn't have the same settings as on-premise currently
  • Even with the cloud instance you need something on premise to support connecting to some Microsoft products
  • AirWatch was a little cheaper, but we liked the functionality and some additional reporting that MobileIron Assemble had to offer
I started with MobileIron so I feel as though I'm a bit biased towards them. I really like Jamf also, however they are best for environments that deal specifically with Apple products, where MobileIron can support any and all devices. AirWatch is easier on the eyes and usability, but I feel as though MobileIron has better reporting capabilities.
It's great for UEM; multiple types of devices including Windows and Mac computers. It can also support things like Raspberry Pis. The cloud instance has made significant improvements from when it was initially debuted, so I think that will be really good in the future.

If you're deciding between on-premise or cloud, know that the on-premise version currently has some additional features.
