Let’s briefly see what’s new,

Integration with Google enterprise

Entgra is now an enterprise EMM partner for Android. What this means for you is that all public apps from Google Playstore can now be installed silently. Combining this with the enrollment time app installation policy, you can now define some private/public apps to be installed silently from Playstore when the user enrols a device.

Enrol pre-approved devices and auto-assign to groups

Devices can now be enrolled using the new command-line based enrollment tool for Android and prior to enrollment, it is possible to pre-approve which devices are allowed to be enrolled with the server. This can be done based on the serial numbers of the devices. Also at the time of enrollment, the device can be automatically be assigned to the groups based on predefined rules.

New reporting UI and WSO2 Siddhi core integration

A new reporting UI carries a set of prebuilt set of reports useful for an EMM admin. This release also carries a new siddhi core-based implementation to do real-time complex event processing and also an in-house solution for batch processing to create customized reports as you wish.
