Edu-IT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Just saw on website: "Allowing remote screen view of computers and tablets, including iPads." When will this iPad update come? @russdev
DevilsAdvocate Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 For those interested I was sent this of a recorded session. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNJbGsgm8bU&feature=youtu.be
russdev Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Hopefully it will go open beta on Wednesday and you all can get a look at it.. Russell
alexsig Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I know display note are looking at something similar as a way of interactive lessons. Impero ipad view looks very interesting though
RichCowell Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 It looked great in the webinar yesterday... I'm looking forward to getting it on our new iPads (once I get them set up! lol)
Edu-IT Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 How do we get to be part of the webinars? Just watched the recording and indeed, looks very good, and great to hear there's no additional charges, if you already have 'client' licenses to use.
Marshall_IT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Just a small thing to point out, i think this will rewrote the iPads to be supervised. It might not and I'm willing to be corrected on that but i think it will. This makes it essentially useless to me as there is no feasible way to supervise over 700 iPads that are currently in use. And even supervising before hand out is a pain and was deemed not work the investment as they are being used as personal devices in our scenario.
Edu-IT Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 I doubt that, as the big thing is the fact that this can be used with BYOD. Obviously, they can remove the app if the devices aren't supervised. I'd question what happens when the devices are off network. Will the iPad be 'bogged down' because it can't communicate with the Impero server?
russdev Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Performance wise makes no difference really if off the network. Sits there to be honest as not connected to Impero Server (same as current version). Over people asking about webnairs look under events on the website. Russ
Marshall_IT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Can we have some conformation on it not being supervision please.
russdev Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Can we have some conformation on it not being supervision please. Are you asking does device need to be in supervisor mode no it does not. Russell
Marshall_IT Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 That's what i was asking and that is great news! What's the selling model on this? Can it be bought as just an iPad part or is it bundled in with the main system only?
Edu-IT Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 That's what i was asking and that is great news! What's the selling model on this? Can it be bought as just an iPad part or is it bundled in with the main system only? During the webinar it was said that an iPad is classed as a device. There's no separate license needed, assuming you have spare device licenses. It looks to be tied in to Impero Pro. 1
JoeFulford Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 This would be a great addition. We currently only have Staff iPads here so they don't need to be monitored too closely like this. I currently use Meraki to manage our iPads.
Wiebbe Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 We have been running Impero for over 3 years now using regular Windows computers and because of this thread I contacted my account manager at Impero. They gave me a spot in one of their webinars where I received a Live demo of most of the new functionality in the latest version of Impero. They gave a great and easy to understand demo (If it was recorded, it would be a great demo to show to management as well, if you need to do some more convincing!), after the demo there was a lot of opportunity to ask questions directly and get an answer. After the demo I contact my account manager again and asked for a trial run of the last version. After making sure we are able to handle the new update (has some requirements on the installed versions in your network, but nothing more) we just received the update that should include iPad support. I will be doing a test run with 1 class (we have some licences to spare) for a week of 2 or 3 and see how the teachers (and students!) like the Impero client. This week we will be doing a test install and see how it works. Ill keep this updated a bit.
Edu-IT Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Remotely view iPad screens and Broadcast an iPad to others (Webinar) - YouTube -> Recording there. 2
KyleWhite Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Just had a word with Impero myself; came here to find the Webinar above - I'm still truly amazed that Apple have allowed this (it's totally out of their comfort zone!). It's a total game changer though! Finally - useful management on iOS! Now integrate other parts of MDM such as app deployment and we'll be laughing
Edu-IT Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 It is using the built in API's which they provide - no hacking - so it would be difficult for them to not allow it.
Marshall_IT Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I was speaking to someone last week and they said Impero were very surprised at him communicative Apple had been with them on this project. Normally it's just waiting for Apple to pick up but this time Apple called back...
Edu-IT Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 Maybe they thought it couldn't be done and wanted the challenge!
