Mobile

What do you like best?

It is, as every other Google application, intuitive and easy to configure. It complements the GSuite services and becomes important now more than ever that the mobile devices can be used to work. It will not be the most complete suite to manage mobile devices, but it has great tools that can sufice most work environments. We used it as a Small Business with some remote workers and helped us have peace of mind when using mobile apps and store business information in our userВґs mobiles.

What do you dislike?

It does not have tons of features that other alternatives might have (for example: encryption options, manage independent storage for work related files, etc). It also needs to be used with G Suite and can't be implemented standalone. It hasnВґt been receiving lots of updates and upgrades lately and, as almost every Google Application, it always can be decomissioned. There is not much information about the service and it's future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It is a very useful tool already inside your GSuite products. It will not cost extra and can help you configure the basics: screen lock, passwords, remote wipe data and have some insight on the devices that are consuming your data. It does not provide other tools like remote encryption or create separate storage for work apps.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It can help you keep track of your user's devices, require screen locks (believe it or not, there is a lot of people that hasn't still configured screen lock on their deivces and this helps companies to make sure the devices are secured before even permittin store work information in them), remote wipe phones and tablets (when lost or stolen, although they need to be online for this to work) and distribute company applications (which can make life simpler for lots of companies with remote workers)
