Traditional MDM Doesn’t Work for BYOD
While effective for corporate-owned devices, MDM becomes problematic in BYOD environments where personal and work data coexist. While MDM enforces control, it creates friction. Employees don’t want IT snooping on their personal data, and MSPs don’t want the headache of managing invasive software.
