Real facts from the IT Perspective
I'm wondering how I can setup an Iphone to do the things I actually do with ALL MY USERS in the company with blackberries thanks to the Blackberry Enteprise Server?
I don't believe Iphones or Android Devices have features I have (from years) with BES:
- Wireless Enterprise activation. This is a super important feature.
- Hiper-Sync - capability to sync in real time not only the inbox but the sent items and other folders, calendar (two way), contacts, notes, etc
- Deploy critical applications (like MessageOne) at the same time in multiple users via policy.
- Inventory control (networks in use, battery %, owner, PIN, IMEI, applications installed, last contact time, last message delivery, etc) in real time and remotely
- Data Encryption (remember, BB is the only mobile device allowed by goverment agencies like DoD)
- Ability to provide internet browsing in the device by using the company Firewall, Intrusion Detection, Forescout and NAC technologies (with BES).
- AutoBackups - the BES backups for all users all settings from the device. Not only email, SMS and phone call logs, but everything!: favorites, logs, notes, calendar, sms, mms, mails, data, languages, templates, etc. If an user lost the BB and have a new one, a BB enterprise activation setup the new BB just like the old one!! via wireless, in less than 5 minutes! without user interaction!
Can please someone tell me how we can achieve that with an iPhone or Android?
Good points, no?
