Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions allow IT departments to manage and secure Android devices, giving them control over data security and the applications that employees can access on work devices. They provide a level of control and visibility that enables IT teams to enforce corporate policies, manage device features, and secure sensitive data on Androids. This can be deployed for organizations running BYOD policies, or for organization supplied devices. MDM solutions also help in inventory management, application distribution, and security policy enforcement.
MDM solutions work by deploying an application on to an Android device that can monitor and manage the way it behaves. Through this application, administrators can remotely configure settings, enforce security policies, and even wipe data from lost or stolen devices. They can be operated from a single unified console, simplifying the process of managing multiple devices and making it possible to keep track of the entire device fleet. These dashboards give admins a good oversight of all devices, ensuring that company security is prioritized.
In this article we’ll explore the top MDM solutions for Android, reviewing each based on features, compatibility, user-friendliness, and overall effectiveness, helping you to select the right solution for your use-case.
