MobileIron, which specializes in mobile device management and security, has been ranked
in the Leaders quadrant of Gartners Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software 2011.
The Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. Offering (product) strategy, innovation, customer experience, and overall viability are among the highest weighted criteria.
The report states that “Leaders demonstrate balanced progress, effort and clout in all execution and vision categories. If they do not dominate in sales, they are, at a minimum, the most critical competitive threat to their peers in open competition… To stay on the right side of the chart, Leaders (and Visionaries) must offer features that remove significant roadblocks to the complex challenges enterprises face when attempting to treat mobile consumer devices as business tools.”
“Mobile management, security, and apps are now top of mind for the Global 2000 CIO,” says MobileIron CEO, Bob Tinker. “MobileIron is the only platform built from the ground up to solve these problems for multi-national companies. We consider our positioning in the Leaders quadrant by Gartner confirmation of the strength of our data-driven architecture, our track record of innovation, and, most importantly, the success of our customers and partners.”
