Key
BlackBerry UEM
features

Feature
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.
