Miradore has introduced several enhancements in 2025 to its device management platform, addressing customer needs across Android, Windows, and macOS systems. Key updates include the Android Direct Boot Mode, allowing critical management actions on encrypted devices without user unlock, and a new Android Custom Launcher for customizing home screens and kiosk environments. Windows devices benefit from updated Policy CSP information for granular control and a Protected Wipe feature ensuring sensitive data security. For macOS, a new Wi-Fi Configuration Profile simplifies network connectivity.

Miradore provides strategies for efficiently managing mobile devices within organizations, highlighting the challenges of locating "mobile" devices and offering solutions such as assigning devices to users with unique IDs. For personal use, devices can be linked to users through email addresses or other identifiers, while non-personal devices can use identifiers like vehicle license plates or store names. The text advises against assigning more than 10 devices to one user, especially on Android. It outlines methods for creating users, including manual entry via the user interface for small numbers, and bulk importing through CSV, Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID, or Google Workspace for larger groups. The integration with central systems like Entra ID and Google Workspace is recommended for existing customers with Premium+ services to streamline the addition of new users. The information aims to help organizations manage their mobile devices efficiently, with reported setup times for Android and iOS devices ranging from 5 to 15 minutes.

Miradore offers a comprehensive dashboard that provides an overview of all registered devices, displaying security status, device overview, and updates in one centralized location. Essential widgets recommended for users include monitoring online status to mitigate security risks associated with devices being offline, tracking patch and system update statuses for various operating systems, and ensuring compliance with company guidelines through customizable business policies and tags. The platform allows for the customization of additional widgets such as passcode, encryption, and device security, catering to various organizational needs. Andreas Handler, a Senior Technical Consultant and Business Development Manager at Miradore, emphasizes the importance of these tools in enhancing efficiency with Mobile Device Management. The dashboard's features aim to streamline device management and enhance security across multiple devices and operating systems.
