Infrastructure engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

We've used two vendors. We've used BlackBerry, then we moved to Good Technology, then BlackBerry bought Good.

When we originally switched from our old solution to Good, it was the ability to manage Android and iOS devices, and manage based on personal versus corporate data. That allowed us to keep all the corporate data in a container, separate from the personal data, and we could just wipe the corporate data if needed. It was really around the BYOD phenomenon that happened back in 2012, 2015, when iOS devices and Android started coming online and enterprise people wanted to bring their own devices. They didn't want to use BlackBerrys.

Regional Business Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees

We used Citrix. We switched because Citrix was completely outdated. Not everything worked on Citrix. So, the transition was from Citrix to Blackberry and then to AirWatch.

We were on a competing product called BoxTone, but that was acquired by BlackBerry. 

That is as far back as we go in terms of competing products.

technical support analyst lead at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

We were originally a BlackBerry shop in regards to Blackberry devices, then we started with iOS devices. We went with Good for Enterprise, so we were Good for Enterprise when were on IBM Domino. Then, when we decided to migrate from Domino to Exchange, we went with Good Control. Now, we are on UEM. We finally got rid of all our legacy BlackBerry devices, so we are strictly iOS right now, and all of our mobile iOS devices are on UEM.

Mobile Product Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We've had BlackBerry, BES 3.6 was where we started. That went through to where we are now, UEM. We then introduced, from a BYOD point of view, Good Technology, so GFE 7, GFE 8, and we also used MobileIron for some of our corporate devices to protect them. The move to UEM was because we need to make sure that the security is there, so we're moving back towards that now.

Moblity lead at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

We have VMware AirWatch but not for this use case, so we can't compare. We needed it to have a container application. We have a very sensitive user population, in terms of security. Our clients need the most secure usage. That's why we switched to BlackBerry, the security is outstanding.

The previous product was Good Technology for Enterprise. The main concern was to continue with BlackBerry, the new products, and not change.

Head of Mobility at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Previously we were a Good Technology shop and Good was purchased by BlackBerry. Before this product, we evaluated VMware AirWatch and I think the better move was just going from Good to Blackberry because, at the time, it was still the better solution.

Previously, we did not use anything else. In this company, it has always been BlackBerry and Good (which BlackBerry bought).

We upgraded from Good, so we had no choice but to upgrade because it was at end of life.

DS
Deputy Technical Service Lead at Halodata

We have previously used Team on the Run to control. For the first, it's about security because we are... Our daily jobs of editing and project documents, like technical documentation or like how I said earlier, it's a financial document. Any project document, we have to secure it either to customer, sender, or also partner. Then, the business using.

When I used Team on the Run, I can't put the pros of the Team on the Run. I can locate wherever the engineer goes. I mean, I can locate their location. That's currently not available on BlackBerry Enterprise. They are ongoing. For BlackBerry Enterprise, they are ongoing features on BlackBerry Persona, I think.

I haven't implemented on our organization. For the BlackBerry pros, the security because on the less experienced but the other employees or the engineers can manipulate their location. It's in effect, GPS. 

It's in effect GPS. Then, they can actually... No. I mean, the differences between workplace and personal, it's... On the BlackBerry Enterprise on the mobile phone, we have personal and then workplace. We have two containers on our phones but on the other, on the TOTR, it's for only one. They don't have any containers.

Senior Adviser IT at a consultancy with 51-200 employees

We had Good for Enterprise and then BlackBerry bought them that's how we ended up with BlackBerry.

For me, the most important criteria when selecting a vendor are capability, ease of use, and price.

We did previously use a different solution, however, it wasn't as complete. There wasn't any support and the documentation was poor. It was also more expensive.
