AirWatch Achieves “Excellent” Overall Score in Use Cases in 2012 Critical Capabilities Report for Mobile Device Management

AirWatch, the global leader and innovator in mobile security, mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), mobile content management (MCM), mobile email management (MEM) and BYOD management, attained an ”outstanding” rating for product viability assessment and “excellent” for overall score in use cases for MDM capabilities in the 2012 critical capabilities report.

Gartner defines the Critical Capabilities report as research providing quantitative ratings for a selection of enterprise MDM offerings, and evaluates them across seven critical capabilities in four typical use cases.

AirWatch’s mobile content management solution allows organizations to secure document distribution and mobile access to corporate documents through a native mobile app. The Secure Content Locker enables associates to securely access corporate resources on-the-go from their Apple® iOS and Android™ tablet devices.

AirWatch’s Secure Content Locker enables organizations to:

• Secure over-the-air distribution and access to corporate documents
• Restrict editing, sharing and opening in unauthorized applications
• Track document versions, updates and user activity
• Ensure corporate content is current on end-user mobile devices

Data loss prevention is a primary concern for enterprises because of the proliferation of free cloud file sharing services being used for business. Organizations need to develop a content management strategy with strict security policies and access control to protect sensitive corporate content on mobile devices, whether those devices are corporate or employee-owned.

AirWatch’s mobile application management solution enables organizations to manage internal, public and purchased apps across employee, corporate or shared devices.

AirWatch’s Enterprise App Catalog provides the ability to distribute, track, update, and secure enterprise applications over-the-air.

AirWatch’s Mobile Application Management features:

• Centralized management of internal, public and purchased applications
• Secured and encrypted applications with integrated MDM and MAM
• Enhanced user mobile experience with a customized app catalog
• Ensured security objectives achieved through advanced app distribution
• Enhanced mobile strategy through application analytics
• Market-leading SDK to integrate MDM and MAM features into custom apps

AirWatch secured a 4.1 (“Excellent”) for Overall Score in Use Cases. Further, AirWatch received an “outstanding” rating for product viability assessment. According to Gartner, “Product viability is distinct from the critical capability scores for each product. It is our assessment of the vendor's strategy, and the vendor's ability to enhance and support a product throughout its expected life cycle.”

“Outside of customer feedback, third-party, objective evaluation is the best litmus test we can receive on how AirWatch is meeting the demands of an ever-evolving enterprise mobility landscape,” John Marshall, CEO, AirWatch said. “AirWatch continues to set the bar high, for not only the established advantages of MDM, but also emerging technologies. The additional features that AirWatch’s MCM and MAM solutions provide simplify enterprise mobility and enable organizations to achieve higher productivity. We’re excited for the future of our company and are pleased with the results of this report.”
