Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are an IBM distribution Partner and we offer IBM MaaS360 to our MSP Partners.

In some cases a simplified version would make things easier

installation in an open shift hosted cluster is not working out of the box.
air gapped installation ist not documented. images are missing or not aware of. It should be used as operator and operator catalgog as source .
it is not behaving as a container application, as it needs much local storage on the kubernetes nodes, it should use pvc.

Cons

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this software as an MDM. Placing devices into Kiosk Mode. Remote Trouble Shooting. Location Tracking. Without this product our tablet would be unlocked. This would ultimately leave us vulnerable if a driver were to go to a website or use an app that may put personal information at risk. Restricting the tablets through the MDM gives the company a piece of mind, knowing there is no risk for this.

Pros

Locks our company issued tablets into a Kiosk Mode
Allows Remote Trouble Shooting
Allows Location Tracking

Cons

Allowing more flexibility for the Kiosk Mode
Remote trouble shooting may not always work
Commands do not always complete in a timely manner

Return on Investment

We see time being saved by providing our team the necessary tools on a company issued device.
We are able to see when a user has last used their company issued device vs their personal device.
Pushing new software is easy when implemented using the MDM.

We are both a mobility reseller and a security consultancy for a large number of organizations. Specific to security, our customers have a wide list of mobile device usage requirements which present a vast array of security concerns as it relates to the protection of IP, Regulatory compliance, and control of business-focused usage during the work day.
As such, it is our job to present resolutions to these challenges, which are addressed both by written policy and the implementation of an MDM solution.

Pros

Properly configured workflows make for easy ongoing management and tweaks to the management of enrolled mobile devices
Granular functionality which can be used to address many complex configuration requirements
Best in Class support and product education resources by comparison to competing MDM solutions.

Cons

In dashboard help verbiage
Simpler customization for white label items
Better support for windows o/s devices

Return on Investment

This has become a significant part of our solutions portfolio we provide to our customers.
We have increased over all revenue derived directly from services related to IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson by 400% over the past 4 years.
Finding the correct distributor to work with is mandatory. We had serious issues with the prior distributor as compared to our current one.
