Mobile Application Management vs. Mobile Device Management: 4 Opinions, 1 Recipe

Featured_Image_MAM_vs_MDMSolutions Review can not resist covering Mobile Application Management as a topic, so let the debate begin!  What do you prefer Mobile Device Management or Mobile Application Management?  MDM vs. MAM.  When you search on Google you get several opinions on the topic.  We have gathered a few of them here for you.

  1. The first opinion comes from a neighbor of ours here in Massachusetts – Philippe Winthrop from The Enterprise Mobility Forum (and lately with the Dutch MDM firm ViliQ).  Anyone who knows Philippe also knows his opinion is rock solid when it comes to the subject of mobility.  You can read his take here: https://theemf.org/2011/05/18/mobile-application-management-vs-mobile-device-management/
  2. Another opinion we respect greatly is anything written by MSPmentor Editor Joe Panettieri.  He wrote a thorough piece last year on the MAM vs. MDM debate and looks to be coming down on the side of Mobile Application Management.  Check his thoughts out here: https://www.mspmentor.net/2012/05/08/mobile-application-management-vs-mobile-device-management/
  3. Self described as “opinionated, super technical, fiercely-independent desktop virtualization expert” Brian Madden takes on the topic in this post from last year.  We like Brian a lot and link to his stuff quite often.  He even throws in a dash of MIM (Mobile Information Management) and MXM (Mobile “X” Management) for good measure.  Read what Brian has to say here: https://www.brianmadden.com/blogs/brianmadden/archive/2012/05/29/what-is-mdm-mam-and-mim-and-what-s-the-difference.aspx
  4. Ryan Faas is a technology journalist and consultant who has written extensively about Apple, business and enterprise IT, and the mobile industry.  He jumps into the fray from an iOS-centric point of view that is worth a read here: https://www.cultofmac.com/183151/why-apps-not-mdm-are-the-future-of-iphone-management-feature/
  5. And finally, here is another take of the great debate at Toolbox.com from Luca Cotolo a Senior Technology Architect with a “major oil company”. And strangely enough the article also includes a recipe for Beef hotpot with Fontina – so consider that  reason enough to click-through. https://it.toolbox.com/blogs/cooking-ea/mam-vs-mdm-48835
