Start from a neutral baseline and add what matters to you. Criteria are labeled by source — the platform baseline is architecture-neutral; buyer-contributed criteria are shown separately.
This evaluation is stored in your browser only. We cannot see it, and it is not tied to any account. Save it to a link or create an account to keep it across devices — you can export it at any time either way.
Signing up adds sharing with your team, sending this as an RFP to vendors, and private document sharing. Nothing above is taken away, and nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to.
Containerization/work-profile approaches generally see better BYOD adoption than full-device management, which many employees resist on personal devices; ask which model is used and what real adoption looks like on BYOD versus corporate-owned devices.
Enforced technical controls (not just written policy) matter most here; ask for a concrete customer-referenced example of the control actually preventing a real data-loss scenario, not just that the feature exists in documentation.
Selective wipe reliability is a genuine practical concern; a credible vendor should be specific about how selective wipe is verified to have fully completed, not just that the feature is offered.
Fleet-wide compliance visibility (not just individual device lookups) is what actually lets a security team manage risk at scale; ask for a real dashboard example, not a description.
No buyer-contributed criteria yet
Verified buyers can suggest criteria (anonymized before pooling).
iOS and Android have materially different management API capabilities; a vendor claiming uniform 'cross-platform' protection without disclosing per-OS differences is likely overselling parity that doesn't exist.
Locally-enforced policy that doesn't depend on constant connectivity is materially more robust than a design where protection silently lapses offline; ask specifically what happens to enforcement during extended offline periods.
Look for transparent, tier-differentiated pricing that's explicit about which capabilities are gated behind a premium tier rather than included in the base product.
Remote wipe alone doesn't answer 'what was actually exposed before we wiped it' — ask for a real forensic-reconstruction capability and a concrete customer example.
Ask for real evidence of assessor acceptance for a specific named regulation, not just a generic 'compliance-ready' marketing claim.
Trend-over-time compliance reporting is a distinct capability from a real-time snapshot — confirm this exists as a maintained, exportable report.
Device-level protection status and any accessible content is sensitive — role-based access control over this specific data is an often-overlooked consideration.
Look for genuine integration into a unified mobile-security posture; a standalone data-protection layer disconnected from broader MTD/UEM tooling creates real policy-management complexity.
Look for specific regional processing options; a vendor offering only a single-region deployment with no residency control is a real gap for regulated, internationally-distributed workforces.
Ask for a real completion/adoption-rate figure from a customer reference, not just a provisioning capability — BYOD adoption specifically often faces real employee resistance that a vendor should be honest about.
