Enrollment is the first step for device management during which the ManageEngine MDM app or ME MDM app gets installed on the device. This acts as the agent for the MDM MSP server. For Apple and Windows device management, MDM MSP leverages the native MDM client already present on the devices, while in case of Android, the ME MDM app is mandatorily installed during device enrollment. However, having the ME MDM app installed on the device, provides a whole lot of additional features, apart from making the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use tabs available to the users.
The benefits of installing the ME MDM app on Android, iOS and Windows devices are given in the table below.
