Everything you need to get devices work-ready

Work-ready devices out of the box

Deliver devices to employees' doorsteps with the assurance that Mobile Device Manager Plus will handle the enrollment and device setup. Preconfigure policies for the device owner type, OS, method of enrollment, directory grouping, and much more and be sure that the policies get applied after user authentication checks.

Single-purpose device management simplified

Apply kiosk policies to restrict device usage to predefined apps. Customize the settings app, home screen, app layout, folders, and device hardware and software functions to achieve security and compliance in deployments.

Security hardening for devices

Leverage the multitude of restrictions available in Mobile Device Manager Plus to curb device functions, like the camera, the microphone, and screen recording, and determine how work data interacts with non-work data. Configure restrictions for the clipboard, USBs, cloud backups, and sharing to ensure corporate data stays within the set limits. Additionally, configure contextual policies like geofencing and conditional access to automate DLP.

Email and network setup

Configure device inboxes with work emails and also set up the Wi-Fi, VPN, proxy, and other network parameters. Tunnel traffic from just the corporate apps through the VPN to reduce bandwidth choking. Maintain user privacy using per-app VPN. Distribute client certificates for identification and authentication for various services, like email, Wi-Fi, VPNs, and Zero Trust.

Custom configurations for extended support

Apply configurations created specifically using third-party software to migrate or extend management capabilities. Also leverage OEM-provided profiles from over 22 manufacturers to obtain deep customization, management, and security on Android devices.

 

Trusted by leading brands across industry verticals

See why your peers prefer Mobile Device Manager Plus for managing their devices

We just recently upgraded about 100 devices, and the fact that you can set groups and policies and push content and apps to the devices automatically reduced 80% of the migration time, where it would have taken weeks to complete this task without an MDM. The geofencing and location tracking are also bonuses.

LJ H. Operations assistant, Construction

I really like how easy it is to deploy and have devices set up and ready for users. I can have a new phone set up for a user in under seven minutes, and most of that time is me having to get all the apps set up to work with our systems.

MDM 101: The basics of mobile profile management explained

  • 1. What are device configuration profiles on mobile devices?

    With the rapid increase in the use of mobile devices for work, it has become necessary to bring these devices under corporate management to ensure enterprise data is secure and devices are compliant with industry standards. Profiles on mobile devices allow IT admins to configure device settings and functionalities by enforcing corporate policies and security restrictions on the smartphones, tablets, and laptops used by the workforce.

  • 2. What is mobile profile management?

    Mobile profile management allows IT admins to create and distribute device management profiles and policies to the mobile endpoints used in the organization. Through profile management, it is possible to create OS- and device-specific configuration profiles, enforce them on a single device or a group of devices, and modify them or delete them when required. In essence, IT admins will be able to modify their enterprise's device settings remotely and in bulk with mobile profile management.

  • 3. What are some of the configurations that can be controlled through device management profiles?

    Using mobile profiles, IT admins can ensure devices have strong passcodes set on them and that they do not automatically connect to unsafe public Wi-Fi networks. Profiles can help admins configure the email and VPN settings and restrict device functionalities, like Bluetooth, the camera, and the microphone, to further protect the corporate data on devices from leaks. These configuration profiles can also be used to block access to malicious web content and unapproved apps and to prevent users from uninstalling the required apps from their devices.

  • 4. Why is mobile profile management necessary?

    By enforcing security policies and restrictions on mobile devices using profiles, IT admins can not only ensure the mobile devices used within their organization are work-ready, and meet compliance requirements but also secure the corporate data on these devices while preventing device misuse. Therefore, mobile profile management ensures that corporate data is securely handled on devices that are enhanced for work and compliant with organizational and international data security standards.

  • 5. How can a mobile profile be used to configure a kiosk device?

    Using profiles, admins can lock down mobile devices to a specific app or set of apps and restrict their functionalities, allowing them to serve a single purpose effectively. Dedicated devices, like point-of-sale devices, digital signage, and kiosk devices, can be provisioned using kiosk profiles. These profiles allow a device's wallpaper, layout, and font to be customized to further enhance the user experience. The advantages of using a kiosk mobile profile are that multiple devices can be provisioned as kiosks quickly and over the air. Devices provisioned as kiosks can always be brought back to their normal state by simply disassociating the kiosk profile.

  • 6. How can a mobile device management solution help you with mobile profile management?

    Mobile profile management is a major component of mobile device management, with MDM solutions often used as profile management applications to create, distribute, and enforce security policies and restrictions on the managed devices in organizations. Through the MDM console, IT admins can create multiple device configuration profiles, modify them, associate them with a single device or group of devices, and disassociate them when they are no longer required.
