You probably remember from our blog post late last year that we released Fully Managed with Work Profile mode on Android Enterprise in November as a part of a tech preview. This gave early adopter customers the ability to test the feature in their environments for their specific use cases to ensure that it was fully supported to fit their needs.
The Citrix Endpoint Management team got great feedback from our early adopters, and we’re happy to announce that Fully Managed with Work Profile mode on Android Enterprise is now generally available! Customers using the cloud service should expect the feature to be deployed as part of their next Citrix Endpoint Management automatic upgrade. Customers with the on-prem version should upgrade to version 10.12 for support of Fully Managed with Work Profile.
Like we mentioned on our tech preview blog post, Citrix Endpoint Management now supports all Android Enterprise modes for these use cases:
- Work Profile – BYOD use case.
- Fully Managed with Work Profile – Corporate-owned device use case.
- Dedicated Device (COSU) – Kiosk use case.
Fully Managed with Work Profile mode enables IT admins to manage corporate-owned devices that are also used for personal activities. This mode separates a user’s work and personal profiles, enabling IT admins to focus on securing and managing the device’s work container while supporting flexibility for employees’ personal use. IT admins can still take security-related actions on the device, including full wipe and, if required, can push policies on the personal side of the device.
Check out this demo, which shows a device enrolling in Fully Managed with Work Profile mode.
