Android mobile management
BigFix Mobile, the Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution, is integrated with Android Enterprise. With this solution, you can effortlessly enroll and manage Android devices.
BigFix Mobile separates work-related data from personal data. This ensures to protect sensitive information from loss and theft while addressing privacy.
- Work profile management
- The Work profile solution is intended for managing employee-owned devices, also known as Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD). By creating a Work Profile, IT administrators can create a secure container on the device that separates business dedicated data from personal data. Work related apps and data are stored in a stand-alone part of the device, and organizations have no visibility or access to user’s personal data. More info about Work Profile is here.
- Full device management
- The Full device management solution is most suited for Corporate Owned Business
Only (COBO) devices. These devices are intended for professional use only. Full
Device Management allows MDM to create a secure mobile workspace that requires
extra layers of security.
Organizations can have a complete control over which apps and data are allowed on the enrolled device, and can control various settings like app management, internet filtering, security challenge, OS updates, Wi-Fi connections. Device-wide controls such as a complete device wipe and reset to factory default settings are also available on fully managed devices. FDM allows MDM to manage device settings and policies that are not available in the work profile solution set.
- Dedicated device management
-
Dedicated devices are company-owned, fully managed devices that are used exclusively for specific work purposes. Dedicated device management is an extension of full device management. IT admins can further lock down dedicated devices to a single app or a set of apps. This enables to perform specific employee or customer-facing functions such as inventory management, hospitality kiosk services, and digital signage.
- IT admins can enforce extended security policies where the dedicated devices are locked to an allowed set of apps using kiosk mode. This allows to run the device in kiosk mode.
- IT admins can restrict device users from accessing apps other than the allowed apps and prevent other actions performed on the device. Kiosk mode prevents users from exiting apps and accessing a device’s home screen.
- For device and data security, safe boot, screen capture, camera, and factory reset features are disabled by default on dedicated Android devices.
