Mobile Device Management...to lock down your iPhones, iPads, Blackberry phones etc.
We use Good but I'd like to see what else is out there. Unfortunately, there is no solution to manage AppStore apps installed on these devices only internal-custom-coded apps.
Here's the list I've come up with for competitors in this space:
www.mobileiron.com
www.air-watch.com
www.zenprise.com
www.tangoe.com
www.boxtone.com

What industry do you work in that the loss of a single mobile phone has a potential security breach cost higher than those products? I'm genuinely curious if this kind of software is catching on everywhere or only in industries where very very sensitive data might be on people's phones.

I've used Good in the past (like, ancient past) and actually thought they were dead until a few months ago. I've got a BES setup currently for the BB's I support, and you can lock those down pretty tightly if you want. You can do some things with Exchange Activesync devices (remote wipe, etc), but the devices have to support the feature set.
My personal opinion is that if Apple or Microsoft put out a BES-like management server, they could run away with the market.
Government, medical and financial services need this MDM.
BES.

Ha. Ha.
Most companies should be concerned about potential data loss - whether it is concern over content of the data itself or the effect on the reputation of the company should they need to disclose such loss.What industry do you work in that the loss of a single mobile phone has a potential security breach cost higher than those products?

If you lose your iphone, you potentially compromise your business contacts, recent calls, last month or so of email, contents of whatever the user is accessing via an unmonitored service like dropbox, access to corporate applications (if you cache passwords), etc.
Any company should value that information more than the $500 it costs to simply replace the device.
It gets even more interesting as we move into a future where companies promote a "bring your own device" policy. Just because they may support people bringing their own phones, laptops, tablets, etc into an organisations does not meant they should value their corporate data any less. At the very least they will require some form of MDM to ensure those devices meet some form of minimum compliance. ie, my company requires my iphone to have a passcode lock, which is enforced via policy pushed to the device.
Windows Phone 7 already has this built in. :P
Windows Phone 7 has a built in application for managing the security policy of Windows Phone 7 devices in your organisation?
Jason works for MS, so yeah, they're probably running some form of SCMM.
I said this in the Win8 thread, but if they're really bringing the ability to join a phone to an AD domain (and manage it like a desktop), RIM's gonna be gone in a few years.
They've had kinda-sorta had domain join in Windows Phone 6.5 for years now, and 7.0 launched with it. I think the feature set on both is the same - mandatory policy enforcement on PIN level, remote wipe, and so on.
A benefit of starting off targeting corporate and then migrating into consumer, I guess. Apple went the opposite direction.
That's the Activesync feature set (the full one). What I'm wanting is full Group Policy intergration, possibly AD user login, that kind of thing. If that stuff is there in WinPhone8, you'll see a lot of places start pushing DirectAccess, among other things.
