BYOD might be a hipster honeypot but it's rarely worth the extra hassle

Re: Yeah...

We give employees an allowance to buy their own phone, in exchange for doing so, we install MobileIron. It's a 2 way deal, and the employees are generally very happy. They get free wifi at work, access to theri calendar, messaging, we push one app, that's all, and have a policy they they use a lockscreen. We can wipe the device if it's gets lost/stolen.

MobileIron is not a fixed thing, we have taken a moderate approach to how it's used, and not used some of it's more draconian policies, and as such, don't really have any problems at all with it. Saying I had it once and it was crap, it like saying all cars are crap, as you had a Ford Fiesta when you were 17 and it rotted out after a couple of years.
