Key BlackBerry UEM features
BlackBerry UEM
featuresFeature | Description |
---|---|
Multiplatform device management | You can manage iOS , macOS , Android , and Windows 10 devices. |
Single, intuitive UI | You can view all devices in one place and access all management tasks in a single, web-based UI. You can share administrative duties with multiple administrators who can access the management console at the same time. You can toggle between default and advanced views to see options for displaying information and filtering the user list. |
Trusted and secure experience | Device controls give you precise management of how devices connect to your network, what capabilities are enabled, and what apps are available. Whether the devices are owned by your organization or your users, you can protect your organization's information. |
Separate work and personal needs | You can manage devices using Android Enterprise Samsung Knox , and BlackBerry
Balance technologies that are designed to make sure that personal information and work information are kept separate and secure on devices. If the device is lost or the employee leaves the organization, you can delete only work-related information or all information from the device. |
Secure IP connectivity | You can use BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus to provide a secure IP tunnel between work space apps on iOS , Samsung Knox Workspace , and Android devices that have a work profile and your organization’s network. This tunnel gives users access to work resources behind the organization’s firewall while making sure the security of data using standard IPv4 protocols (TCP and UDP) and end-to-end encryption. |
Simple user self-service | BlackBerry UEM Self-Service reduces support requests and lowers IT costs for your organization while giving users the option to manage their devices in a timely manner. Using BlackBerry UEM Self-Service , users can perform tasks like activating or switching devices, changing their device passwords remotely, deleting device data, or lock their lost or stolen devices, and address other critical support requirements. |
Integration with services such as BlackBerry Workspaces , BlackBerry Enterprise Identity , and BlackBerry 2FA | You can integrate BlackBerry UEM with BlackBerry Workspaces , BlackBerry Enterprise Identity , and BlackBerry 2FA that allow you to add value to your organization's BlackBerry UEM instance. |
Powerful app management | BlackBerry UEM is a comprehensive app management platform for all devices. You can deploy apps from all major app stores, including App Store , Google
Play , Windows Store , and BlackBerry World storefront. |
Role-based administration | You can share administrative duties with multiple administrators who can access the administration consoles at the same time. You can use roles to define the actions that an administrator can perform and reduce security risks, distribute job responsibilities, and increase efficiency by limiting the options available to each administrator. You can use predefined roles or create your own custom roles. |
Company directory integration | You can use local, built-in user authentication to access the management console and self-service console, or you can integrate with the Microsoft Active
Directory or LDAP company directories that you use in your organization's environment (for example, IBM
Domino Directory). BlackBerry UEM supports connections to multiple directories. You can have any combination of both Microsoft Active
Directory and LDAP.You can also configure BlackBerry UEM to automatically synchronize the membership of a directory-linked group to its associated company directory groups when the scheduled synchronization occurs.When you configure the settings for directory-linked groups, you can select offboarding protection. Offboarding protection requires two consecutive synchronization cycles before device data or user accounts are deleted from BlackBerry UEM . This feature helps to prevent unexpected deletions that can occur because of latency in directory replication.To integrate BlackBerry UEM Cloud with your company directory you must install the BlackBerry Connectivity Node . You can install one or more instances of the BlackBerry Connectivity Node . |
High availability | If you have BlackBerry UEM Cloud , instead of having to maintain your own highly available service for device management, with all the upfront and maintenance costs, BlackBerry maintains the service and maximizes uptime for you. |
Migration | You can migrate users, devices, groups, and other data from an on-premises BlackBerry UEM source database to a new on-premises or BlackBerry UEM Cloud instance.If you have configured BlackBerry UEM to manage Google Play accounts can migrate Android Enterprise devices from an on-premises BlackBerry UEM server to BlackBerry UEM Cloud or another on-premises BlackBerry UEM server.You can migrate BlackBerry
Dynamics users from on-premises BlackBerry UEM (version 12.13 or later) to a BlackBerry UEM Cloud . |
Cisco ISE integration | Cisco Identity Services
Engine (ISE) is network administration software that gives an organization the ability to control whether devices can access the work network (for example, permitting or denying Wi-Fi or VPN connections). You can create a connection between Cisco ISE and BlackBerry UEM on-premises so that Cisco ISE can retrieve data about the devices that are activated on BlackBerry UEM . Cisco ISE checks device data to determine whether devices comply with your organization’s access policies. |
Regional deployment | You can set up regional connections for enterprise connectivity features by deploying one or more BlackBerry Connectivity Node instances in a dedicated region. This is known as a server group. Each BlackBerry Connectivity Node includes BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus , the BlackBerry Gatekeeping Service , the BlackBerry Secure Gateway , BlackBerry Proxy , and the BlackBerry Cloud Connector . You can associate enterprise connectivity and email profiles with a server group so that any users who are assigned those profiles use a specific regional connection to the BlackBerry Infrastructure when using BlackBerry Connectivity Node components. Deploying more than one BlackBerry Connectivity Node in a server group also allows for high availability and load balancing. |
Wearable devices | You can activate and manage certain Android -based, head-worn wearable devices in BlackBerry UEM . For example, you can manage Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses . Smart glasses provide users with hands-free access to visual information such as notifications, step-by-step instructions, images, and video and allow users to issue voice commands, scan bar-codes and use GPS navigation. Examples of BlackBerry UEM management capabilities that are supported include: Device activation using QR code, IT policies, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, app management and location services. |
Microsoft Intune integration | For iOS and Android devices, if you want to protect data in Microsoft Office
365 apps using the MAM features of Microsoft Intune , you can use Intune to protect app data while using BlackBerry UEM to manage the devices. Intune provides security features that protect data within apps. For example, Intune can require that data within apps be encrypted and prevent copying and pasting, printing, and using the Save as command. You can connect UEM to Intune , allowing you to manage Intune app protection policies from within the UEM management console. |
