AirWatch™ Named an Innovator in Independent Research Firm’s Market Overviews for Cloud-Hosted MDM Solutions and Managed Services and On-Premise MDM Solutions
Flexible architecture; user-friendly, actionable management dashboard; competitive, transparent pricing; advanced reporting; sophisticated security features; and strong application management continue to serve as key differentiators for AirWatch
AirWatch™, the global leader and innovator in mobile security, mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM), today announced that it has been named an “innovator” in the Forrester Research, Inc. Market Overviews: Cloud-Hosted MDM Solutions and Managed Services and On-premise MDM Solutions. AirWatch was one of only two vendors recognized as an innovator in the Cloud-Hosted MDM report, and one of just four in the On-premise report out of a marketplace of 40 vendors offering these solutions.
Forrester Research interviewed 24 vendor companies and 184 user companies on the following key criteria: configuration, reporting, and support; mobile security management, including PIN enforcement, data wipes, jailbreak or root detection encryption and data leak prevention; software distribution, white and blacklist capabilities and enterprise app stores; and differentiating criteria, including platform support, integration and availability. Forrester Research segmented the MDM vendor landscape into four distinct groups in its Market Overview for Cloud-Hosted MDM: innovators, new entrants, best-of-breed and services, and divided the On-premise MDM vendor landscape into three distinct groups: innovators, incumbents and best-of-breed.
The Forrester Research Market Overviews on Cloud-Hosted MDM Solutions and Managed Services and On-premise MDM Solutions state, “Although many vendors offer hosted infrastructure solutions, AirWatch supports flexible architectures in that it can be delivered through an on-premise solution, an appliance, or a SaaS solution. AirWatch’s user-friendly, actionable management dashboard and competitive pricing have made it a top MDM contender for many firms¹. AirWatch also boasts strong on-premise and WLAN management solutions².”
“We believe that being recognized as an innovator by Forrester Research further validates and reinforces our goal to simplify mobility by providing enterprises with a comprehensive, leading mobile security and management solution,” said John Marshall, CEO, AirWatch. “Built on a true, multi-tenant architecture, AirWatch is highly scalable, enabling companies to easily move from pilot programs to large device deployments. When a company selects AirWatch, they receive both the best product and best price point.”

AirWatch’s API integration capabilities include the ability to integrate key enterprise platforms such as LDAP directory servers, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft BPOS-D, Microsoft Office 365, IBM Lotus Notes and Google Gmail for Business, as well as Public Key Infrastructures (PKI) and certificate management frameworks, streamlining the generation and management of certificates used on mobile devices for authentication and encryption.
