MaaS360 for Android Core

Support for Complex Numeric passcode restriction >>

MaaS360 adds support for complex numeric passcode restriction in Secure policies to allow the administrators to enforce a passcode containing numeric characters without repeating or consecutive numbers like 1111 or 1234. This feature is available in both Android MDM and Android Enterprise policies. 

EFOTA: Support for publishing dummy firmware on test devices >>

MaaS360 adds support for rolling out a dummy firmware update, allowing the administrators to simulate that update on test device(s) before pushing to all the devices. Previously, the administrators had to create a separate group for testing purposes.

Support for downloading enterprise apps from private or enterprise server >>

MaaS360 adds an option to allow the users to download enterprise apps directly from the private or enterprise server. It requires the administrators to first host the enterprise apps on a server and provide users with a download link.

OEMs

Bluebird device management >>

MaaS360 announces support for Bluebird ruggedized devices. With this integration, administrators can easily enroll Bluebird devices into the MaaS360 portal by just scanning a QR code. Administrators can also easily install/uninstall enterprise apps to the managed devices. MaaS360 also provides support for new policies to control device settings and notification settings on Bluebird devices. Required 6.05 agent.

Support for new group level actions for Zebra and Bluebird devices >>

MaaS360 adds new real-time dynamic actions, allowing administrators to easily perform actions such as OS upgrades, downgrades, and security patch installation on Zebra and Bluebird devices.

Android Enterprise

Advanced Android Zero-Touch enrollment support for Android Enterprise devices >>

MaaS360 announces support for Advanced Android Zero-Touch enrollment, allowing administrators to pre-configure devices before the devices are shipped to users. With this feature, corporate-owned devices can be deployed in bulk without having to manually set up each device.

Support for enrollment through QR Code on Android Enterprise devices >>

MaaS360 simplifies the enrollment process by allowing the administrators to deploy enrollment settings during the QR code enrollment. Previously, only Wi-Fi settings were deployed through QR code based enrollment. This feature eliminates the need to create a separate enrollment request for Android Enterprise devices.
