As organizations experience a rapidly growing mobile workforce, they become increasingly dependent on the performance of portable devices — including smartphones, tablets and laptops — to access and run critical business applications without sacrificing data security or industry compliance. Mobile device management (MDM) provides endpoint-focused processes and solutions that accelerate user productivity and improve device reliability. In order to determine which MDM solution is right for your needs, EMA has released a new report ranking current industry leaders.
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) Radar for Mobile Device Management (MDM) Q1 2016 report identifies the 16 leading MDM platforms and provides a cost and capabilities summary of each. Ultimately, the report weighs the solution’s impact with its deployment cost efficiency to determine the overall value of the platform. Vendor strength is also noted in the following summary snapshot:
There are a number of consistencies when comparing this report to Gartner’s 2015 EMM Magic Quadrant released last June (read our blog coverage here). Most notably, AirWatch by VMware is the solutions impact leader, offering the strongest features, architecture and integration of any platform. This is due in large part to extensive integrations with VMware Horizon, App Volumes, VMware Identity Manager and Workspace ONE. Simultaneously, AirWatch ranks in the top five for cost efficiency, defined as requiring a lower time, effort and cost to deploy.
The EMA Radar report notes that AirWatch includes “the most comprehensive set of self-service capabilities of any solution in EMA’s evaluation” and is “focused on delivering solutions that empower companies to be innovative with the employment of mobile technologies rather than struggle with the complexities of managing mobility.”
As we work with companies to meet their mobile device and enterprise mobility management (EMM) needs, AirWatch continues to provide the right capabilities with an inherent user-friendliness that keeps companies satisfied and experiencing meaningful ROI on their investment.
