MobileIron
MobileIron was founded to bring simplicity to the chaos of mobility. Mobile will become the preferred communications and computing platform for end users to do their work. However, mobile introduces cost, risk, and usability challenges that traditional IT strategies cannot address. MobileIron’s approach is to simplify the problem by providing a complete security and management platform for mobile apps, docs, and devices that preserves the native experience for end users. We call this Mobile IT.
Value
MobileIron lets enterprises, educational institutions, and government:
Protect data
Mobilize apps and content
Preserve user experience and privacy
MobileIron gives IT the confidence that sensitive data will not be lost, while enabling the business to mobilize its workflow and end users to do their jobs more effectively. MobileIron’s customers are transforming their organizations through mobility. From day one, MobileIron’s focus has been 100% customer success through innovation leadership, customer support, and best practice development.
Background
MobileIron was founded in Fall 2007 with the belief that mobility would fundamentally change every business process in an organization. When MobileIron Version One was launched two years later it introduced several innovations, including the first mobile enterprise app storefront and the first BYOD controls for selective wipe and privacy. Since then, thousands of organizations have selected MobileIron as the platform for their mobile strategies, making the company the leading global provider of Mobile IT solutions for security and management. MobileIron is headquartered in Mountain View, California in the heart of Silicon Valley, with global offices in China, Germany, Hyderabad, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Sydney, and United Kingdom.

Really should clarify to avoid confusion
We were looking at using MobileIron as our MDM solution, but ended up moving to a different vendor simply because we were informed by the reseller that MobileIron could support multiple platforms.
What they failed to tell us or clarify was that it did not natively support multiple platforms, rather you were required to purchase 3rd party software to include Android and Windows phones. We made it very clear that we expected the MDM to natively support other devices, not for us to purchase more software and therefore increase our admin overhead when it came to managing licenses.

Management, security and the native device experience.
Hi, my name is Sean, I work in Business Development for MobileIron. MobileIron is fanatical in supporting the native device experience on iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8. We can manage the native mail client on iOS and Windows Phone 8. For Android, there is no one mail client, so we manage the native mail clients on Samsung, Motorola and HTC. In addition to provisioning, we can selectively wipe these native device email experiences and provide access control to ActiveSync as a part of our product as well.
In addition, some customers desire a more "containerized" email experience where email is in a separate application. For this, we have support for third party email clients on both iOS and Android.
Finally, our security and management features are being extended to applications as well, allowing customers who write their own apps, beyond e-mail, to tie them to our management and security platform.
