About Lightspeed Mobile Device Management

Has a lot of great features, customer service best in the industry

Relay MM doesn’t take a second member of tech staff to work. 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

Reasons for choosing Lightspeed Mobile Device Management

Simplicity to learn and it worked directly with our rocket.

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.

Vendor Response

Hello! Thank you for being a Lightspeed customer and for your feedback on Mobile Manager. If you have a moment to email us at marketing@lightspeedsystems.com, we would be grateful to learn more information about how we can improve the software and your experience with it. Thanks, again.

Relay Mobile Manager

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.

Functionality

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.

Great MDM - Falls just short of being Outstanding

Overall a very solid MDM product. Hits all of the checkmarks, but if it had a bit better UI, I would be even more happy with it.

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.

Why I left LightSpeed

I did not like relay. 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.

Reasons for choosing Lightspeed Mobile Device Management

I chose Linewize over Relay.

Reasons for switching to Lightspeed Mobile Device Management

Because the solution and cost of the entire package was bundled together and cost effective.

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.

A great MDM solution for Education!

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.
