Mobile Application Management (MAM): MAM focuses on managing and securing mobile applications. It provides organizations with tools and capabilities to distribute, install, update, and control mobile apps on devices. MAM allows administrators to manage app policies, enforce security measures, and control app access, even on personally-owned devices. It is particularly useful in scenarios where organizations want to separate work and personal applications on employee devices.
Mobile Device Management (MDM): MDM is a broader solution that focuses on managing and securing entire mobile devices. It involves controlling various aspects of a device, such as configurations, settings, security policies, and access permissions. MDM provides administrators with capabilities like remote device wipe, passcode enforcement, device tracking, and app installation. It is typically used to enforce security and compliance policies, monitor device usage, and protect sensitive data.
