With a growing number of mobile devices entering workplaces, IT admins are under pressure to select a unified endpoint management (UEM) platform that is capable of supporting multiple mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android and Windows. 42Gears’ UEM solution offers multi-OS support for secure management and monitoring of both corporate and employee-owned devices.
Android
Android has been a dominant mobile platform for consumers. Over the years, to counter concerns about device and data security, Android has introduced new features to promote adoption in the business world.

Android Enterprise consists of features and services that Google provides to facilitate the use of Android in the workplace. 42Gears supports Android Enterprise (previously known as Android for Work), allowing IT admins to create dedicated containers on Android devices, secured with OS-level encryption to compartmentalize business and personal applications, and data. Creating dedicated workspace keeps business data secure and employees’ personal data private.
Samsung KNOX
42Gears uses Samsung KNOX for strict control and management of hardware peripherals, Android settings, users and applications. This is crucial for most deployment involving company-owned devices.
Enterprise Agent Technology (EA)
42Gears offers EA support for Android device manufacturers and helps them unlock powerful device management capabilities that are otherwise not present in the standard Android operating system. For example, EA support can enable silent app installagration and upgrades, and full remote screen control.

42Gears supports Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP), making it easy for enterprises to deploy our UEM solutions on a large number of iOS devices. Apple DEP-enrolled devices are preconfigured to fetch business apps, account settings, proxies and VPN settings from SureMDM. Enterprises can remotely manage settings and profiles on end-user devices.
VPP
Apple’s Volume Purchase Program (VPP) offers a simple and easy way for enterprises to purchase and distribute iOS apps. 42Gears supports VPP, empowering IT admins to push apps that employees require.

Allow supervised modification of Bluetooth settings and dictation, force Wi-Fi whitelisting, reboot devices over the air and shutdown devices over the air using SureMDM.
