Wes,
We are reviewing the MDM vendors. Two of the top contenders are MaaS360
and Airwatch. I don't know if you reviewed the Airwatch product, but if
you did, could you provide a high level reason why you went with MaaS360
instead of Airwatch? Both products seem pretty full featured and each
comes pretty highly recommended.
Perhaps it was just a decision based on how much each vendor was charging
for a license (per device?)?
We are also looking at a third vendor, Citrix.
Thanks,
--
