1 Why MDM matters

MDM is the process of administering and enforcing policies and settings on mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. MDM tools can help you prevent unauthorized access, data loss, malware infections, and device theft or loss. They can also help you optimize device performance, reduce maintenance costs, and improve user experience. MDM tools can save you money by reducing the risks of data breaches, fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage, as well as by enhancing productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

2 What to look for in MDM tools

When selecting MDM tools, you should consider aspects such as compatibility, scalability, security, management, and support. The tools should support the types and versions of devices, operating systems, and applications used or planned to be used by your organization. They should also integrate with your existing IT infrastructure and systems. Additionally, they should be able to accommodate your current and future device needs without compromising performance or reliability and provide flexible pricing plans. Furthermore, they should provide strong encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms to protect data and devices. They should also allow you to remotely wipe, lock, or locate lost or stolen devices, as well as enforce password policies, device restrictions, and compliance standards. Moreover, the MDM tools should offer a user-friendly and centralized dashboard for easy management and monitoring of devices, users, and policies. They should also provide reports, alerts, and analytics that help track and improve device health, security, and performance. Finally, the tools should offer reliable customer service and technical support with regular updates and upgrades. Documentation, training, and troubleshooting resources should be provided to help maximize the benefits of the MDM tools.

3 How to compare MDM tools

Once you have identified the features and factors that are important for your organization, you can compare different MDM tools based on their ratings, reviews, and testimonials from other users and experts. Additionally, you can request free trials or demos from the vendors to test their products and services before making a final decision. To do so, consider criteria such as functionality (how well do the MDM tools meet your specific device management and security needs?), quality (how reliable, stable, and fast are the MDM tools?), value (how much do the MDM tools cost, and what do you get for your money?), and customer satisfaction (how satisfied are the users and customers of the MDM tools?). Evaluating these aspects will help you make an informed choice.

Right from Free trial to feature comparison charts, almost all MDMs offer more or less the same thing thanks to standardization in Android and iOS. The trial would be great for checking the performance and stability. The support availability and TAT are also important factors of comparison when selecting an MDM.

4 How to implement MDM tools

Choosing the best MDM tools for your organization is only half the battle. To ensure a successful MDM implementation, you need to plan, deploy, and manage your MDM tools effectively and efficiently. Start by defining your goals, objectives, and expectations for the project. You should also identify your device inventory, user groups, policy requirements, and assign roles and responsibilities to your MDM team and stakeholders. Create a timeline and budget for the project. Then, install and configure your MDM tools on your devices, servers, and networks. Register and enroll your devices and users to the MDM platform. Apply and enforce policies and settings to your devices and users. Test and verify the functionality of the tools as well as their security. Monitor and maintain performance and security of the tools. Update or upgrade them as needed. Review and revise policies as needed. Provide support and training to users or staff. Lastly, evaluate the outcomes of the tools to measure their impacts.

Defining the policy, roles of users, previleges or exceptions and documentating them along with regular cadence for review, having regular check points against fleet health, any alarm, getting support in time from solution provider helps, if you are considering Multi-OS support from single platform then based on requirement and platform's own restrictions you need to define and put policies in place.

5 How to optimize MDM tools

Optimizing your MDM tools regularly and continuously is key to getting the most out of them. To do this, you should conduct periodic audits of your devices, users, and policies to identify any issues, gaps, or risks. Automation features and tools can streamline and simplify MDM tasks and processes, while analytics features and tools help collect and analyze data from your MDM tools. You can use this data to improve functionality and security, as well as optimize policies and settings to enhance device security, performance, and user experience.

For saving money, there is another adjunct layer of software needed which goes beyond the capabilities of today's MDM tools in the market. Tools like B2M's Elemez provide the real-time intelligence MDMs cannot, and allow enterprises to understand the health, location and usage of mobile devices, apps and networks. Armed with this intelligence, customer save money by quickly finding lost devices, spotting issues affecting uptime in the field, finding poor network connections, spotting devices using excessive cellular data, and more. Elemez goes far beyond what MDMs can provide, with a payback period which is usually in months as Elemez is deployed.
