- 23. Good Mobile Messaging Disadvantages 2. Separate email application on device 3. May not be as fully featured as native email app 4. “takes too long to load” + other user perceptions 5. Licensing can be a headache 6. Opens door to potential support headaches if allowing all manner of devices for corporate messaging
- 24. Good Mobile Messaging Why would I choose Good over BES, or over native Exchange ActiveSync?
- 25. Good Mobile Messaging Advantages 2. Like BES for non-RIM hardware 3. Works on most of the popular phones today: iPhone/iOS, Android 2.1+, Windows Mobile 6.5, PalmOS, SymbianOS/Nokia 4. Common app structure across all supported phones 5. Separate email application on device – provides a secure “sandbox” for corporate data 6. Opens door for less restrictive hardware requirements for corporate messaging thanks to encrypted data both at rest on device and in transmission.
Notes de l'éditeur
- For user used to native mail app (or using ActiveSync then switching to Good), this is the #1 complaint I get, that it is a pain to have to open a separate app to get at corporate email. The Good app has come a long way, and is constantly being updated (Good seems to have fallen into a quarterly release schedule for updated builds). That being said, HTML email was just recently added to the app, attachments can be problematic, and the partner who wants to email his pets pictures cannot attach them to a message in Good from the device. Are these dealbreakers? Because Good stores email on the device in an encrypted container, each time the app is launched it must decrypt the container, and when the app is closed, it is re-encrypted. How long is too long? This process takes a few seconds. How long are you willing to wait for security? Licensing Good can be a nightmare – some carriers offer plans with a Good license built in, while other carriers make you purchase licenses direct from Good. You need a separate license for every device you are provisioning – so for the partner who wants to connect is iPhone, his iPad, and just to be safe is iPod Touch, that is three licenses needed. The Good thing about purchased licenses rather than carrier licenses – they never expire. The biggest issue, and in my view the most realistic disadvantage, is the can of worms you may open by inviting a hodge-podge of devices to connect. You will be expected to support and fix every device, whether you know how to or not. You’ll need to establish some guidelines or polices up front on how far you will go – and even then you will still need to figure out why an app won’t launch or install on someone’s Droid.
- **** There are other players in the market like BoxTone, MobileIron, Zenprise, that do similar, but not exactly the same.
- Good is BES for everyone else. And it works. Couple this with point #2 and you get support for the devices that your users want to use, rather than supporting only the devices that are convenient for IT. Makes for a much , MUCH, happier user base. The Good app shares a common structure across all the platforms it supports, so a user can go from an iPhone to a Droid to an iPad and the experience will be very similar within the Good ecosystem. The argument for Good is all about security. Good installs an encrypted “sandbox” on the device, and that is where it lives. Nothing else can touch it or use it. It can be wiped out without affecting the rest of the device. It separates work from personal, all on a device that may not be ideal for the corporate environment. Does the Android OS scare you? Good is the answer. Now you can start to craft policies that shift the burden of device ownership away from the enterprise and onto the user. You want the latest and greatest toy – go ahead, as long as Good will run on it, you can get whatever you want.
