Deploying a MobileIron unified endpoint management (UEM) platform allows you to secure and manage mobile devices as well as mobile apps in your enterprise. The term mobile device management (MDM) is used to describe the features, policies, and configuration used for securing and managing mobile devices. The term mobile apps management (MAM) is used to describe the features, configuration, and policies used for securing, managing and distributing enterprise apps to mobile devices. In most cases, you deploy MobileIron UEM to do both MDM and MAM. However, in some cases, you may want to manage only the apps on the device without having to manage the device itself. A deployment through which only apps on a device are managed is called MAM-only.
MobileIron AppStation is specifically designed as the UEM client for a MAM-only deployment with MobileIron Cloud. In a MobileIron AppStation MAM-only deployment, only apps available through AppStation are managed.
The following types of apps are supported:
