Mobile devices management is a powerful tool that a lot of enterprise environments use to make sure devices are secured and loaded with their in house content. What a lot of people also do not realize is that it can also be used as a powerful parental control management solution as well.
This was accomplished using manage engine mobile device management plus. Their service allows for up to 25 devices to be managed for free. It is a good way to gain an understanding of the MDM platform.
Setup is easier on some products than others. For example, with cellphones, android has a short setup guide you use during the setup of the phone to enroll it in MDM. With Apple products, however, you’ll need to own a Mac. This is because you will have to upload the blueprint with the MDM to the device before you begin configurations.
Once you complete configurations, the controls are very granular. You can upload apps remotely, track the device through the platform, remote access it to troubleshoot it, and set a variety of restrictions. You can even go further and set it up to only open a specific web page or a specific app only. You can disable any feature or app that does not suit your needs.
