Afaria 7.0 Unplugged
Hi Guys,
I have been into Afaria Consulting for 1.5 years now and somehow never found a complete document on what is supported on Afaria on each device platform. So rather looking for documents , I rolled my sleeves up and tested each functionality given below on each device platform. I know you people in field are bombarded with Afaria 7.0 functionality day in and out. and must be burning midnight oil to get those answers..I might not save whole night for you but will save definately some oil for you..
So here it goes……..
| Win CE | Blackberry | iOS | Android 4.0 |
|
| Allow user to enroll devices | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Enrollment code support | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Collect Activity Data for Cellular, Data, SMS, MMS | x | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Location Based Services | x | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Deploy Software | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Update/Manage Applications | Yes | x | Yes | Yes |
| Blacklist/Whitelist Applications | Yes | x | Yes | Yes |
| Scan Hardware/Sotware | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Lock down device features (camera, bluetooth) | x | x | Yes | Yes |
| Configure Activesync Email | x | x | Yes | Yes |
| Reboot or soft-reset device | Yes | x | x | x |
| Encrypted PIM Database | x | x | x | x |

| NT & LDAP Directory & Local Authentication | Yes | Yes | x | Yes |
| Multi-Tenant Server and Administrative Infrastructure | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

I am here talking only about AES Samsung Android only..so please donot bring those Chinese Android phone and test these functionalities.. i failed miserably on making Chinese phones under aegis of BYOD strategy…
I hope guys you enjoy this document and give client some quick answers….:)

Hi Lawrence,
You should be able to create a Dynamic Group for 'blacklisted apps' and once the inventory detects the app is installed, changes the policies for the device to lock it down, or pull it from certain profiles with the policy assigned, etc.
