Since the release of ZENworks Configuration Management 2017, ZCM includes Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities for iOS, Android and ActiveSync devices. At the first release, ZENworks 2017 offered a base set of capabilities that are critical to our customers. Over the next several updates additional capabilities will be added to the ZCM product, making it a robust Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution.
Update 1 introduced Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and Configuration for iOS Applications.
Update 2, which was released beginning of January 2018, introduced Android for Work Containerization, mobile Device Inventory and supports OS Activation Lock bypass code management.
Added features with Update 2 are marked blue and Update 3 are marked as green.
Features in Update 4 are marked as red.
As you may be aware, Micro Focus also sells a standalone MDM solution – Micro Focus Mobile Management (MFMM). This solution provides an alternate architecture, management console, and capabilities. Because not all of the capabilities in MFMM are currently available in ZCM, both products will be offered for some time to come. The purpose of this chart is to help you understand the capabilities of each of these solutions so that you can identify the one that meets your needs. Going forward the majority of MFMM capabilities are expected to be integrated into the ZCM product.
