The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it.

A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy.

We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate.

The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present.
