Security and support drive customer satisfaction

According to the IDC MarketScape report, “Security (and support) was among the factors leading to MobileIron having among the highest customer satisfaction rating among vendors in the study.”

The report emphasizes MobileIron’s security strengths, including key security certifications to address regulated markets and the company’s newest offering, MobileIron Threat Defense, “to help IT departments move toward unified endpoint security.”

The unification of mobile and PC
