FileWave overview

What is FileWave?

FileWave lets businesses manage their application deployment, network settings, profiles, passwords, password resets, email configuration, and more, and block explicit content on multiple social-media platforms including YouTube, iMessage, AirPlay, and the iBook Store. It provides detailed inventory reports regarding all device information such as MDM (mobile device management) enrollment data, installed applications, IP addresses, device names, OS versions, and much more.

FileWave is compatible with apps, devices, and configurations of Mac, Windows, Chrome and mobile phones. The software is designed to integrate with the underlying mobile management infrastructure and work alongside existing directory services. FileWave automatically connects a new device to its respective group once it is enrolled in the software’s server.

FileWave is suitable for organizations that need management solutions for Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) or ability to import VPP (Volume Purchase Plan) code spreadsheets. The console allows IT managers to control their devices without deploying extra human resources. The managed distribution module enables administrators to assign or revoke apps on selective devices remotely, and FileWave admins can generate personalized settings with the help of the parameterized profiles module.

What do users say about FileWave?

While having that customization is great I do feel as though custom reports are not as readily available as i'm used to, I would like to be able to export device info on spreadsheets when needed and i've had trouble generating specific reports for certain rollouts when needed.

“there's not some overly built GUI with flashy colors, but i've found nost anything I want to do MDM wise, you can make it happen, and usually there are several ways you can make it happen depending on what you need.”

It’s important because it lets me connect my Google Cloud services and manage everything in one place instead of switching between different tools.
