Mobile Device Management - Overview

TeamViewer's Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution aims to enable our users to manage cross-platform and cross-device systems more efficiently. Below you will find all essential information as well as a step-by-step guide to walk you through a successful setup of the MDM services.

This article applies to all TeamViewer Mobile Device Management customers.

Key Features

TeamViewer's MDM solution provides three main areas of focus in a single pane of glass:

Management

  • Device enrollment
  • Configuration
  • Inventory management
  • Device update
  • Reporting and dashboards

Security

  • Compliance
  • File encryption
  • Remote lock, wipe, & backup
  • Authentication of user access
  • Restriction of apps/features
  • Device location

Support

  • Remote control of devices
  • Diagnosis and resolution of issues remotely

This focus allows the System Admin to monitor endpoints and trigger adaptive policies to remediate threats, quarantine devices, and maintain compliance.

This solution also provides the fundamental visibility for the IT admins to secure, manage, and monitor any corporate or employee-owned mobile device that accesses business-critical data. It also allows organizations to secure a vast range of employee devices being used within the organization while managing the entire life cycle of the device, including:

  • Policy configuration management and enforcement
  • Application distribution and management
  • Device actions

How to access TeamViewer Mobile Device Management

TeamViewer's MDM solution can be accessed in TeamViewer Remote or via the web app by clicking the Remote Management tab on the left-hand menu and then selecting Overview under Mobile Device Management:
