You're in charge of mobile device monitoring. What are the best applications to use?

In an organizational context, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions like Jamf, MobileIron, or Microsoft Intune are commonly used for managing and securing mobile devices. These platforms offer features such as device tracking, remote wipe, and policy enforcement while respecting privacy and compliance regulations. Always ensure compliance with local laws and ethical standards in any monitoring activities.

Mobile device Management is used for device administration by applying security and compliance policies. This platform offers a range of features for device management, policy enforcement.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a powerful tool that enables remote management of enrolled devices. With MDM, you can perform a wide range of functions such as locking the device, retrieving device details, wiping the device, enabling FileVault encryption, installing and uninstalling apps, managing all device settings, and even accessing the device remotely. In essence, MDM gives you complete control over the enrolled devices, ensuring that they are secure, up-to-date, and functioning optimally at all times.

In overseeing mobile device monitoring, it’s key to choose robust applications that align with your needs. Opt for solutions that excel in MDM (Mobile Device Management) for comprehensive device control, MAM (Mobile Application Management) for app-specific management, MEM (Mobile Expense Management) for cost control, MPM (Mobile Performance Management) for connectivity issues, and MCM (Mobile Content Management) for secure content sharing. Each plays a vital role in a well-rounded mobile device strategy.

To implement a sound BYOD program MAM controls over your apps and data provide your business with the tools to allow for personal device access and management. Without MAM businesses are taking a chance of data loss and if data access is not allowed through a sound MAM policy the business users could view the IT department as too rigid.

Mobile Application management used to push applications over centrally controlled user devices. By MAM you can control which user group has rights to manage and access particular applications.

It is important for businesses to find a partner to assist in the management of mobile devices with monthly account reviews, procurement, and financial reporting. Whether you choose and app or a partner business like Telegistics MEM is a necessity.

Another class of Software products is emerging in the industry to provide real-time actionable intelligence on mobile devices, apps and network connections health and usage. One example of this is B2M's Elemez which provides actionable insights critical to ensuring a high-degree of uptime and availability, and providing a positive ROI for investments in mobile technology.

I believe there is so much room for improvement in the application monitoring area! We have recently implemented actual application/user behavior monitoring in our mobile client warehousing software. This tells us how the users are interacting with our software. It catches untrained/default behaviors and allows us to identify training needs and/or needed application changes to help facilitate these default natural user behaviors. In summary, error capturing is good. Error prevention is better!
