The adoption of Windows 10, Google Chrome OS and Apple's macOS will drive the need for a combined endpoint management console in greater than 70% of organizations by 2024, Gartner said.īlackBerry Enterprise BRIDGE and Microsoft Graph API support provides flexibility to Office 365 organizations in how those apps are managed and integrated into business workflows, according to Gartner.Īlthough Citrix and VMware are moving much more aggressively toward a modern-workspaces approach that is more than just UEM, and exceed them in a security-enabled product, BlackBerry does have an attractive offering, "particularly for high security industries," such as government, financial services and healthcare and "they compete very well there with Mobile Iron, Citrix, VMware," and others in the UEM space, Gold said.Apple and Google announced they soon will release iOS 13 and Android Q, respectively. "They are also moving in a workspaces direction as they offer secured on-device access through secured browsers and 365 type access." Multi-platform management a growing trendĮnterprise IT and operations leaders responsible for mobile and endpoint strategy must evaluate new capabilities along with UEM tools' ability to perform modern management of PCs and management of mobile devices, according to Gartner's 2019 UEM Magic Quadrant report. "They are now porting those AI security features to the mobile device world from their previously PC-centric offering," Gold said. Where BlackBerry has moved ahead of other UEM rivals is in security, having bought Cylance – an AI security offering – earlier this year. "As a standalone UEM, BlackBerry is comparable to many others in the market." "Their entire effort in the past couple of years has been around mobile software, specifically around UEM and the QNX OS primarily targeted at automotive (and a few other assets they have)," Gold said via email. While research firm Gartner sees BlackBerry in the company of other UEM vendors such as Microsoft, VMware and MobileIron, it is no longer a competitive player in the handset market, according to Jack Gold, principal analyst with J. “Our UEM offerings are designed to protect all devices and endpoints in the enterprise." "BlackBerry phones would be just one type of device we can manage, but it's much broader," a company spokesperson said via email. The Limitless Suite offers Digital Rights Management (DRM) for file protection, expanding on on the Choice and Freedom Suites with multi-channel notification capabilities and a secure content collaboration platform.īlackBerry provides multi-OS management, so the UEM software can be used to manage different devices and platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows 10, macOS and Chrome OS. It also includes development tools to add security, mobility and platform features to custom apps, regardless of how developers build them. "Building on capabilities included in the Choice Suite, the Freedom Suite offers a content collaboration platform, identity and access management, development tools for custom apps, and the ability for users to securely interoperate with Microsoft® mobility apps,” BlackBerry said in a statement. The Freedom Suite allows users to improve mobility with collaboration applications, app customization and enterprise-grade security. The single platform streamlines device management and simplifies IT and end user experiences, according to BlackBerry. The Choice Suite allows IT admins to manage all devices and apps, across platforms and device ownership models. The new BlackBerry Secure UEM & Productivity Suites come in three versions. The result is that users are given the minimum amount of access to accomplish a specific task. Zero trust relies on multifactor authentication, analytics, encryption and file system-level permissions it includes dynamic enforcement of access rules, not only for a user's identity but also for their device and the context in which they're attempting access.
