It’s a reliable product and Lightspeed takes good care of updating it through all the crazy updates different companies put out whether on computer or iPad. I have been with lightspeed since mobile manager first dropped and this product has came a long way. I’m a lightspeed user for life their customer service is second to none! Pros It syncs with google nightly, lists are easy to manage, apps are easy to manage, policies are straightforward. Customer service is hands down the best!! Cons I wish all the bells and whistles for chrome were available for iPad. I wish most pages had a select feature, where I could choose more than one to complete the same process for. Especially helpful when revoking app licenses or updating apps Alternatives considered [FileWave](https://www.capterra.com/p/182010/FileWave-Endpoint-Management/)[Jamf Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/164492/Jamf-Pro/) Reason for choosing Lightspeed Mobile Device Management Simplicity to learn and it worked directly with our rocket.

That is all" January 30, 2019 3.0 Pros Lightspeed has gotten into an area that's dominated by many other players - JAMF, Filewave, among others. MDM is a very difficult area and Lightspeed's implementation of MDM is just sort of, well, "meh." Cons A little un-intuitive as well as not as feature-rich as I would like.

Technology Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Relay Mobile Manager" July 27, 2020 4.0 Relay Mobile Manager was once a very good tool for managing iOS devices in a very efficient manner. With the introduction of Relay, the UI has become very clunky. It has added multiple clicks to each action I take daily in the MDM. It is still an effective tool for managing iOS devices, but it is harder to do so. Pros Mobile Manager excels at managing iOS devices in an educational setting. Their focus on schools has given them an edge over the years. Cons The software has become bloated with different products all combined into one interface. Managing our iOS devices is tied into the web filter for our macOS devices, and that makes it very un-intuitive.

Hits all of the checkmarks, but if it had a bit better UI, I would be even more happy with it. Pros Ease of use and install are great. Very full featured and if you buy in to the Lightspeed ecosystem, there are many integrations that make it well worth the price. Cons I still am not a big fan of the UI of the software. Would like to see something a bit more intuitive and more customization options for how Review Source Response from Lightspeed Systems April 3, 2019 Hello! Thank you so much for taking time to review Mobile Manager. We're so glad you enjoy the variety of features and integrations and appreciate your feedback on our UI. We appreciate your partnership!

I also wanted to add the Classroom component and did not get any feedback to options for cost. I contacted Lightspeed several time trying to talk with someone and had a call and waited on cost solutions. No luck. Pros I love the option to one platform. Relay was so exciting. Set everything up and worked it for a while. Then the platform synced MDM and RElay to one solution and life went down from there. Cons When relay was released it messed up my MDM and compiled all my devices in both platforms MDM (ipads) and chromebooks. I contacted support and they said that I would have to delete them one by one or export the list and then reimport. They did not offer to assist further. It was a mess. Reason for choosing Lightspeed Mobile Device Management I chose Linewize over Relay. Review Source KH Kyle H.

Pros We have many iPads in our school district, and we have always struggled with managing them with many users. Mobile manager lets us install apps, set policies, and keep better track of all of our iPads. Cons Sometimes actions like resetting or deleting apps doesn't work, we usually just do this from the device though. Review Source Response from Lightspeed Systems June 1, 2018 Thanks for your feedback, Kyle! We're glad you've had a good experience and appreciate your partnership. DC Dan C. Technology Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to control content filtering on our network" July 27, 2020 5.0 Been very effective. Students activity reports quickly to the correct team members. Pros Very easy to implement. It is very powerful. Reports bad behavior. Cons It's not free. I have used Lightspeed server, that was cost effective but this being cloud based made things easier on our team. Reason for choosing Lightspeed Mobile Device Management Price and Performance.

It is also easy to navigate. Cons Would like page arrows for advancing pages at both top and bottom of page. Review Source NM Nate M. Network Analyst Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great MDM solution for Education!" July 27, 2020 4.0 I have used Mobile Manager for several years and it really has come a long way. It was already a great replacement MDM for a not-so-great one we had at the time, and it has proved to be as feature-rich as other pricier options but extremely easy to use. Pros Integration with our current Lightspeed Rocket/Relay systems was simple, and deployment via DEP option is great. The UI for pushing apps and services is more straightforward than other solutions, like JAMF. Cons Would like to see more bulk actions integrated, such as removing/de-provisioning multiple devices.

Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to keep track of and push apps to all of our iPads" May 30, 2018 5.0 Easy management of iPads, ability to push apps out to locked-down iPads. Pros Some of our programs require a unique set of apps, and we don't want students to be able to install apps on their own. Mobile Manager allows us to push the apps we need to groups of iPads, without the need to touch each one. Cons The software can sometimes take time to sync, although this is most likely a limitation of the apple deployment site. Review Source Response from Lightspeed Systems July 16, 2018 Thank you for your feedback, Damian! We appreciate your business and hope the improvements we've made to iOS are helpful to you.
