Android Enterprise Devices
The Android Enterprise program, led by Google, streamlines the deployment of Android devices in corporate environments. It standardizes device management for Android devices across different OEMs, providing a clear baseline on how to deploy your Android devices.
Within SOTI MobiControl, you can manage your Android Enterprise devices in two ways.
- Android Work Managed Device : the organization (you) controls the entire device.
- Android Enterprise device with work profile : a container is created on the device where enterprise data and apps reside. Personal apps, data, and device settings remain completely removed from enterprise oversight, and cannot be modified by the SOTI MobiControl administrator. Useful in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) scenarios.

Important: The managed Google Play Store is a complementary component of the Android Enterprise program that allows MDM administrators to dictate which apps their users can access and control updates to those apps. If you plan to use the managed Google Play Store to manage applications on your Android Enterprise devices, you'll need to create an Android Enterprise binding in MobiControl prior to enrolling your devices. See Android Enterprise Bindings for the available options.
