Rating Stars Image 4.6

VMware AirWatch is an enterprise mobility platform. AirWatch sync device offers a solution that enable employees across the company to utilize their own devices without endangering the security of their systems and data.

VMware AirWatch will enter End of Life (EOL) soon as the product support has already been stopped. What would this mean for existing users of AirWatch? This means no further product development and a no support from AirWatch team. It is a suitable time to look for an alternate product which offers more flexibility, security and support.

AirWatch features are limited to mobile content management and secure access to data:-

• Ensure real-time access to the business data
• Single access point to all content across organization’s repositories
• Ensuring compliance with industry regulations
• Enable large file size sharing
• Increase employee productivity
• Enable seamless collaboration across teams
• Increased visibility into document analytics

Why FileCloud Is a Top Alternative to AirWatch?

FileCloud is an on-premise solution and can run inside your own infrastructure, so you have 100% control over your data, unlike Airwatch on premise. FileCloud is also available on the cloud for access from anywhere using mobile or desktop.

FileCloud offers the above listed AirWatch features and many more required organizational workflow as well as enterprise mobility features.

FileCloud provides excellent security features with a robust Admin system. FileCloud allows users to access, share, synchronize company files and documents from anywhere using any device. FileCloud is an enterprise file sharing solution which fits all organizational needs. We comply with industry & country wise laws (different data privacy laws/jurisdictions). All of this while offering a quote much better than AirWatch pricing.

FileCloud also allows flexibility and customization to fit your enterprise workflows. Enterprises can use their own logo, custom login screens and best of all run FileCloud on your custom domain. Looking for more feature advantages over AirWatch? FileCloud provides centralized device management, governance and retention policies, federated search, role-based access, workflow automation, powerful admin reports, metadata management system, selective sync, virtual drive, unlimited storage, enhanced security features, endpoint backup and built-in ransomware protection.

Although, AirWatch enterprise support offers many enterprise features like data retention policies, secure access, mobile device management, it does lack a lot of advanced file sharing and mobility features. FileCloud offers much more in much lower cost.
