Key Features of 42Gears' ChromeOS Device Management:

• Centralized Console Management: SureMDM allows you to get a bird’s-eye view of the entire fleet of managed devices via a centralized console. Admins can easily monitor and track devices and applications installed and generate reports on device health from a single central console.
