In Forrester’s 25-criteria evaluation of enterprise mobile management (EMM) vendors, we identified the 11 most significant EMM providers — AirWatch by VMware, BlackBerry, Citrix, Good Technology, IBM, Landesk, Microsoft, MobileIron, SAP, Sophos, and Soti — and analyzed their offerings. This report details our findings about how well each vendor fulfills our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other to help infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals select the right partner for their enterprise mobile management.

The release of iOS 8 not only introduces a comprehensive list of features to enable greater enterprise mobility, it also highlights the pervasive need for an agile mobility strategy and EMM platform. According to a March 2014 study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, 50 percent of IT professionals in financial services say their company has no mobile strategy(1). Without a strategic approach to mobility and an EMM provider, organizations lack control over data security, end-user privacy, and mobile technologies that support corporate productivity. As iOS 8 becomes widely adopted, it will impact other mobility trends such as the continued migration away from Blackberry. Enterprises will need to move quickly to address these challenges, so updating the mobile strategy should be a top priority in every IT organization.

Now is the time to switch from BlackBerry’s new and unproven mobile device management (MDM) offering to a modern, comprehensive EMM solution like MobileIron. In today’s highly competitive and fast-paced global economy, the last thing companies need is an MDM vendor who is always playing catch up through technology acquisitions that cost too much and offer too little. MobileIron is a recognized industry leader that has always been 100% focused on mobile security. Our unified, multi-OS EMM platform was built from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern mobile enterprise by reducing IT complexity, delivering a secure user experience, and protecting mobile apps and data on any device, in any cloud service, anywhere in the world.

The Enterprise of Things (EoT) is the network of people, endpoints, and digital assets owned by and connected to the enterprise (or public sector organisation, in this context). It casts a wide net, to include content, communication, collaboration, transportation, and facilities – that is, anyone and anything connected to the internet. The EoT represents a powerful opportunity to transform existing public sector processes and create entirely new ones. Governments are moving on these initiatives because policymakers are legislating it, constituents are demanding it and because it presents an opportunity to do more with less.

Gone is the day of the corporate-issued BlackBerry device. With its finely ingrained policies, BlackBerry was once the go-to mobile device for security-savvy enterprises. Research from IDC shows that iPhone and Android now hold over 80% of market share, with Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry completing for the third spot. The rising trend of mobility consumerization has reached a point where it is increasingly difficult for IT organizations to settle on a standard mobile device.

Email has become something of a critical utility, much like the electricity that powers our offices: it must be available 24 hours a day, it must provide reliable performance, and its cost must be reasonable. However, unlike electrical systems (at least from the user’s perspective), email systems require significant amounts of labor to manage well. Email systems must periodically be upgraded. New hardware must be introduced as organizations migrate to new systems. Security must be maintained and upgraded to protect the system from intrusions. Additional hardware must be deployed to protect against outages that could seriously harm user productivity. Plus, unexpected events, such as spam storms or natural disasters can drive up costs substantially in ways that were not anticipated.
