Where MDM on iOS Leaves Off: Plan for the Limitations

Non-techs hear full device management when you say MDM, but that is not the full picture on iOS. There is no scripting, automation, or Screen Sharing, and the control you have is dependent on a network connection, so you have to plan around the limitations. Compounding to this, if the device is not set in Supervised mode then the user can remove the control you have at any time they want.
