Device Applications Test
XenMobile MDM is capable of identifying mobile devices with blacklisted applications and those without the suggested list of applications. Using the REST Web Services API, this test pulls out the number and names of these devices from XenMobile MDM, reports it per mobile operating system in use in the environment, and thus provides administrators with useful inputs for fine-tuning existing device management policies or creating new device management policies using XenMobile MDM.
Target of the test : A Citrix XenMobile MDM
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each mobile operating system connecting to the corporate network

Measurement |
Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Devices with blacklisted applications: |
Indicates the number of devices using this operating system that are hosting blacklisted applications. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which devices host blacklisted applications. |
Devices with non-suggested applications: |
Indicates the number of devices using this operating system that are hosting applications that are not in the suggested applications list. . |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which devices host non-suggested applications. |
Devices with missing required applications: |
Indicates the number of devices using this operating system that do not contain one/more required applications . |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which devices do not host certain required applications. |
The detailed diagnosis of the Devices with non suggested applications measure lists the devices with non-suggested applications, the OS they use, the OS version, the applications they host, and the required applications missing on the devices. Using this information, administrators can configure policies to block such devices or to allow access to such devices after removing non-suggested applications from them.
Figure 1 : The detailed diagnosis of the Devices with non-suggested applications measure
The detailed diagnosis of the Devices with missing required applications measure lists the devices that do not host a few required applications. In addition, the detailed metrics reveal the OS used by each device, the OS version, and the applications missing on them. Using this information, administrators can configure policies to block such devices or to allow access to such devices after deploying the required applications on them.
