Sophos MDM

4th January 2022

We are currently evaluating Sophos MDM to manage some Android tablets for our customers. I have some questions that I cannot seem to find answers for in the documentation;

1) Although in Setup -> Google Setup -> Android, I am setup for Android Enterprise and the installation source is "Google Play", can I have a combination of Google play and APK files? So basically, in Configure -> Apps -> Android, I can use "Managed by Google Play" apps or I can add an apk file and add those to task bundles.

2) In either of the above scenario's, can I control WHEN an update to an app is pushed onto the device? So basically, having the ability to choose a set of devices and then sending through app updates be it from google play or an updated .apk file?

Some context behind my questioning. A software house that has android and iOS apps and they talk to a server using API calls. When features and functionality are enhanced on the server software and therefore on the apps, they would release the apps on the respective stores, but only need to upgrade the customer devices with the new builds of apps when they are on the new version of the server software also. These updates would happen at different times with different customers, so we need to control when the devices get the updates for our apps. General Google Play apps can updated automatically.

Many thanks.

Dave.
