Enrollment of Apple and Samsung devices gets automated with ManageEngine MDM

CHENNAI, INDIA: ManageEngine has announced support for the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and Samsung KNOX Mobile Enrollment in its enterprise mobility management solution, Mobile Device Manager Plus.

“Based on the interactions with our customers, we felt a great need to provide stronger control over the devices and do away with the complex and tedious process of device enrollment,” said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, Director of Product Management at ManageEngine.

This helps to automate the enrollment of corporate-owned Apple and Samsung devices during device setup and enables the enrollment of mass quantities of devices at once.

The IT admin’s chore is now made easy as device enrollment can be delegated to the end user. The need for a staging process can be completely eliminated as account settings and access to IT services are immediately configured on the devices, making it easy for every end user — even those who are less tech-savvy.

Key highlights of the enrollment capabilities introduced in Mobile Device Manager Plus::

Integration with DEP and KNOX Mobile Enrollment

• Immediate and seamless configuration with zero-touch provisioning
• Mandatory enrollment upon device activation

Additionally, with DEP, supervision mode on an iOS device can be wirelessly enabled as part of the setup process to give IT teams better control over their devices.

Enrollment of Android devices using NFC

• Mobile Device Manager Plus leverages NFC to simplify and expedite the enrollment process of other, non-KNOX Android devices.

The free edition of Mobile Device Manager Plus manages up to five mobile devices. Prices start at $15 per device, per year. A free, fully functional, 30-day trial version is also available for download.
