iPhone Remote Management

[tobiasclarity]

Hi All,

 

We are just about to add a further 15 iPhones to our site and currently i am just using iPhone Config Utility to roll out policies at setup. I wanted to know what everyone is doing to enable them to remotely manage and/or roll out apps to the iOS devices. I found on the Apple site about MDM but i believe this is all outsourced to third party companies. If this is the only way can anyone make any recommendations.

 

Many thanks as always

Got a mac server?

 

Use profile manager if so?

To have the lastest server app, you need to have Mavericks, unfortunately!

Cisco's Meraki Systems Manager is a great all round MDM with alot features and options to add restrictions and manage your iphones, ipads, android devices and windows devices. it is all free and can be deployed really really easily! (Download one small app or add in the meraki profile using configurator)

 

We use this for all of our iPads, loan laptops and corporate mobile phones
