Who has confirmed PRIV use on their Enterprise?
- There are millions of BB10 devices in use. If BlackBerry has misread the willingness of BB10 shops to migrate to Android, and if enterprises leaving BB10 may also mean leaving BES etc., then BlackBerry may have their hand forced and quickly react, just as Thor had to quickly react to a world where an only-full-touch device wasn't satisfactory, and the Q10 came into being.
It is only a matter of time until Apple releases an MDM server solution. If anyone thinks Apple is just going to leave that business to others, where Apple getting into the MDM game means a hardened secure proprietary end to end iOS solution that makes BlackBerry and "secure Android" even more irrelevant, well... the truth may be as far as releasing BB10 on the slider, BlackBerry may find that they can't afford NOT to.
BTW: Apple and Cisco have a working agreement.RyanGermann likes this.10-16-15 12:13 PMLike 1 - Thanks for reminding me: I had a buzzing in the back of my head, and this reminds me "Oh, yeah: BlackBerry just cross-licensed a bunch of Patents to Cisco and now Cisco is partnering with Apple to build an MDM server for iOS devices."
Oh, BlackBerry... you just don't give your foot a chance to heal before you shoot it again....1magine likes this.10-16-15 12:19 PMLike 1 - It has been confirmed my firm WILL NOT allow Priv use for Enterprise. I did some checking around at other firms using both Mobile Iron and Good as well as BES10 &12 for BB and IOS. None so far are even considering testing the Priv as it is an Android device - even secured by BB, it is considered inherently 'unsafe' for Enterprise by every IT department I spoke with. ... .

None so far are even considering testing the Priv as it is an Android device - even secured by BB, it is considered inherently 'unsafe' for Enterprise by every IT department I spoke with. None had been shown the Priv or its ability to be secure on Enterprise. Apparently BBRY thought it unnecessary to run this device through its existing customer base?
I'm kind of pissed actually, as I despise IOS and its all-controlling awkward OS. I had a fairly tense conversation with our CTO, basically saying 'So our only choice from here on out is I-phones, which don't have SD card slots, and charge enormous amounts for sufficient memory?.... But that was it in a nutshell. Firm will support BB10 & BB7 phones until they die. No more BB purchases. Iphone purchases, for base model only (user can buy above base at own cost).
This was my concern at the start. BB failing to get enterprise on-board. No enterprise and/or no government purchases will likely result in exceptionally low sales numbers.

As long as it's and Android or iOS, they can secure it. They just reinforce policies on your device. I had linked a cheap 100$ android tablet to my corporate email using Airwatch.

Blackberry knows or should have known the degree to which there is bias against that ecosystem, as they have been pushing that story-line for nearly 7 years. They should have been out in the field with the device months ago. At least trying to change minds. From my understanding, they have not done any direct calls with the device.
''Splendiferousness'' is not even a word that I use to describe my passport10-16-15 01:07 PMLike 0 - I would. I can lock down an Android on a BES server pretty damn tight. Push secure work space. Push screen lock, and device locks. Push password utilization. Push encryption. I can disable sharing work info on private side (copy/paste/ forwarding etc.); lock camera; set-up enterprise only app store on work side and whitelist apps on private side.10-16-15 01:12 PMLike 0

So far the answer is 1. I'm sure Android is being managed on other MDMs out there, I just wanted to get a sense of what fields were looking at it, what fields were saying "no-way", and what fields were saying "sure thing."10-16-15 01:21 PMLike 0 - Thanks for reminding me: I had a buzzing in the back of my head, and this reminds me "Oh, yeah: BlackBerry just cross-licensed a bunch of Patents to Cisco and now Cisco is partnering with Apple to build an MDM server for iOS devices."

We support the S6 and S6 edge where I work. It's too early to say if we'll also offer Priv. If we do, it would probably be early next year.1magine likes this.10-16-15 01:24 PMLike 1 - I don't think they care. I care. And I don't want to carry around or stick in a card reader . Gawd - I think that thing is ugly. I wouldn't care so much if Apple cared about specs or pricing. But they don't. I want at least a 1080P screen. I need either an SD card or 120GB. I don't like or use cloud streaming, nor do I want to rely on that for music or photos - especially Apple's penchant for taking possession of digital media that they don't own (ownership used in the 'plain sense' not the 'legal sense').10-16-15 01:29 PMLike 0
- Don't you think that was a smart move by Chen, though? MDM is going to be free or nearly free soon. Chen has acknowledged this himself. So why not cash in on those patents now when they will be worth much less later?

I hope that this device really proves to be a differentiator in the secure Android space, but given Chen's earlier comments about Knox and the Blackphone, my hopes are pretty dashed at this point.
