Android
Full policy enforcement on Android, installed directly from the Google Play Store.
Quick Summary
Android support means full policy enforcement on Android devices, distributed through the Google Play Store like any standard app, with no sideloading, enterprise app store, or root access required.
Business Problem
A workforce with mixed device types needs consistent policy enforcement regardless of platform — an Android-only or partial solution leaves gaps.
