Each category (supervised vs. non-supervised devices) offers different levels of control and management capabilities. Pulseway supports both types, so it's important to understand their differences.
Supervised devices | Non-supervised devices |
Supervised devices are those with enhanced management capabilities granted by an organization, allowing comprehensive control over settings and applications. They are typically used with devices the organization owns. | Non-supervised devices are usually personally owned and have opted into management with user consent, offering basic management features like software updates and security settings while maintaining more user privacy.
