BlackBerry UEM vs. Cryptomathic Mobile App Security Core

BlackBerry UEM is well-suited if you are looking for an all-in-one mobile security management platform. From the initial rollout and install of the software onto a device, to the deactivation and removal off the network, it works well and is easy to maintain. The one area where it could still use improvement is working with iOS devices, due to the non-native app functionality.

• Separates your mobile device into a personal and work environments
• It does not allow corporate data to be accessed by social media or other 3rd party apps like Facebook and WhatsApp unless specified.
• It allows a company to securely expand the services offered within its network to mobile devices.

Incentivized

• Licensing costs could be streamlined and easier to manage
• Functionality could be improved with iOS devices

If given a choice, I would like to access office emails directly using Microsoft Exchange. Entering login passwords every five minutes seems painful and syncing of emails is not done in real time.

If you have a serious issue with your on-premise installation, access to support can take a bit to get someone on the phone, and it can take some time to rectify, given the complexity of the software. In my experience, the support team does get you back up and running in critical scenarios, but you more than likely will be on some marathon calls, unless it is a very simple and known issue.

When I compared Black BerryUEM (formerly Good) with MaaS360 and AirWatch at the time, BlackBerry UEM (formerly Good) offered better integration into the network as well as better mobile clients to execute work. Access to 3rd party apps that can be used e.g., ability to synchronize and edit notes. This, however, may have changed in recent years.

Incentivized

• Increased employee efficiency because email and calendar data is accessible anytime, anywhere
• Possibility for missed emails or late replies over a period of time because the app does not automatically refresh on a normal schedule
