Executive Summary

In Forrester's 92-criteria evaluation of mobile device management vendors, we found that Research In Motion (RIM) and Sybase lead the pack with their superior mobile device configuration, management, and security capabilities and strongest market presence. Not far behind, however, are Motorola, Good Technology, and Microsoft. Motorola delivers a solid out-of-box management capability for task-based workers whose devices can be configured over-the-air with the simple scan of a bar code. Good Technology, which VISTO recently acquired from Motorola (the two companies will operate under the name Good Technology), offers a strong management and security console for information workers who demand support for a heterogeneous device population. And Microsoft, which came late to the mobile device management market to better compete with RIM, offers a compelling first-generation solution that delivers on managing smartphones much like a desktop or laptop.
