iPad and Android MDMs

[GSmith]

Hello,

 

What Mobile Device Management tools are being used? We're about to have a look at Lightspeed are there other MDMs aimed specifically at the Educational market?

 

Cheers

 

Giles.

For Apple devices this is quite good - Meraki Systems Manager

 

I beleive an Android app is in the pipeline.

Google apps is ok for the basics, remote wiping devices, enforcing passwords/encryption, turning off cameras, application auditing etc.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look at both of these, though i think the management would prefer local mangement over cloud.

 

cheers

giles.

I've heard good things about AirWatch but not seen it used in anger yet.

SCCM 2012 can do this now with Windows InTune...

Any idea if this is included in EES licensing like Endpoint Security or is there a per device licensing cost?

 

Had a demo of Airwatch and it looked really good but at £12 per year per device it is prohibitively expensive for our school.

Not sure about EES and InTune - you'd need to speak to a reseller I think...
