Mobile Asset Management
Mobile Device Manager Plus
Lock devices into a single-app or multi-app kiosk configuration to limit user access and maintain device focus. Whether it's tablets in a retail store, delivery devices in the field, or employee check-in stations, kiosk mode helps minimize distractions and reduce misuse.
You can also auto-launch apps, disable hardware buttons, block notification panels, and prevent access to system settings—across both iOS and Android.
Ideal for enterprises managing a diverse device fleet.
Kandji
Kandji offers kiosk-like capabilities that are limited to Apple Supervised Mode and do not extend to Android or other platforms.
Best suited for Apple-only environments, with limited flexibility in mixed-device enterprise scenarios.
Mobile Device Manager Plus
ManageEngine MDM offers a full app lifecycle management system. You can deploy apps silently, update them in bulk, remove non-compliant ones, and control permissions—all remotely.
The platform integrates with Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP) and Google Play for Work, letting you assign both public and enterprise apps at scale.
Kandji
Kandji is optimized for macOS and iOS environments, and its app management tools are not applicable outside the Apple ecosystem.
Mobile Device Manager Plus
ManageEngine MDM includes native remote control for Android and Windows devices-making it possible to view and operate devices remotely without end-user involvement. This is particularly valuable for dispersed teams, IT helpdesks, and MSPs.
You can perform screen sharing, file transfers, and even live chat sessions—helping to resolve issues faster while minimizing downtime.
Kandji
Kandji doesn’t offer remote control features. Remote actions are limited to functions like lock, restart, or wipe—restricted to Apple devices.
Mobile Device Manager Plus
With ManageEngine, you gain real-time visibility into your device fleet, including ownership status (BYOD vs corporate), OS version, security posture, app inventory, warranty details, and device location.
This asset intelligence helps IT teams optimize provisioning, reduce risk, and plan device lifecycles with precision.
Kandji
Kandji’s asset management capabilities are tailored for Apple devices only and lack multi-platform reach.
