- What are the advantages of ESET Mobile Device Management for Apple iOS?
- Ability to manage security of iOS devices from ESET Remote Administrator 6

- Anti-theft: remotely wipe all device data if a device is lost or stolen (including emails, contacts)
- Ability to push Exchange account, Wi-Fi account, VPN settings and other related settings in batches to iOS devices
- Enrollment with Apple DEP.
- How is ESET Mobile Device Management for Apple iOS licensed?
Each device running ESET Mobile Device Management for Apple iOS will consume a seat. You can use your ESET Endpoint Security for Android license to manage iOS devices from ESET Remote Administrator 6.3 and later.
- How often do mobile devices check in with ESET Mobile Device Connector?
By default, ESET Mobile Device Connector proactively pings devices to retrieve information. Othervise, the connection is made according to need. For example, when updated policies or tasks are sent from ESET Remote Administrator. ESET Endpoint Security for Android connects to ESET Mobile Device Connecor according to need, such as when virus definitions are updated or changes in protection status are distributed. In addition, some periodic logs are sent to ESET Mobile Device Connector on a daily basis.
iOS devices only connect to ERA once every 12 hours, unless a policy change or mobile task has been made from ERA. When no change is requested, an iOS device will not report its status.
- Will the existing policy settings remain on the device after the owner deletes the profile?
Most of the settings (passcode and device settings, for example) will remain disabled; applications that were restricted will reappear on the device and be functional again.
- If an admin enforces the passcode setting, what happens if the end user does not input a passcode?
When the passcode setting has been enforced by the admin, the end user will have sixty minutes to input a passcode. After sixty minutes, the end user will not be able to use the device until a passcode has been set.
- If a restriction is set on the device, what happens on the device?
The app or feature will not be available on the device. For example, if you disable “allow installing application,” the App Store app will be removed from the device.
