Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For the most part, telephone operating framework. Introducing applications to do my ordinary occupation like Mail, melodies, Messages, Notes, iCloud Drive.

Pros

Extraordinary compared to other OS on the lookout for the mobile devices. In the event that somebody needs an ad free and secure insight.
Apple iOS give you heaps of inbuilt elements by which there is no need of any outsider applications.

Cons

The battery limit is likewise low which doesn't make the telephone keep going for over a day. Enhancements from these areas would truly make it more usable for proficient purposes and students. It isn't customizable like Android.

Likelihood to Recommend

Indeed, it's super. OS makes it the most feasible item right now on the lookout. It's smooth, and it will not slack even following 3-4 years settling on it. A wise speculation choice for an innovation.

Powerful Management Options

Rating: 7 out of 10

November 4, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We deploy iOS devices by the hundred[s] across dozens of schools, mostly for student use, but occasionally for instructor use. We also use a few devices internally, not only for testing, but for their myriad other uses: from using a scanner app to archive contracts, to network scanning tools to help diagnose connectivity issues.

Pros

iOS is easy for users to get started with, and many people are already familiar with it.
iOS is easily managed when purchased through Apple and managed via School/Business Manager.
iOS is a relatively secure platform with many options for protecting personal and organizational data.

Cons

Some of the security features can get in the way of organizational management, requiring careful consideration of the configuration.
There are a lot of design choices that are consumer-first that you have to work around with institutionally-owned devices.
There are some hard limitations, like apps not having direct access to network interfaces for WiFi scans.

Likelihood to Recommend

iOS works well when you want solid control over institutionally-owned devices. This generally works best when you play by Apple's rules and buy through them and use Apple School/Business Manager - so if you're going for a BYOD model, this probably isn't the way to do [it]. There is a wide variety of management tools, but bear the costs of each in mind.

iOS devices remain a good value, but not head and shoulders over competitors

January 29, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use iPads for a specific user group to get roster information, weather information, schedules, etc. These are corporate owned assets. We also support end-users' iOS devices via BYOD by allowing them onto a mobile network with limited bandwidth and functionality. The iPads specifically are relatively intuitive for end-users to do their job functions, easy to update, maintain, etc. Administrative overhead is minimal from an IT department perspective.

Pros

Easy to use; intuitive for an end-user.
Behaves well in a mixed environment of networking equipment.

Cons

Mixed results in a Microsoft domain environment with Office support, but that is perhaps to be expected.

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for casual computing, light use. I find the more heavy computing that is required the less likely an iOS device is suited. For emails, web browsing, etc. it performs well.

Best operating system when it comes to security

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

January 10, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iOS is very important in our organization. There is no possibility to build an app and not bring it to iOS nowadays. As a user, I like the platform. The focus on security gives me peace of mind. I can keep my important information on my phone and it is fine. As a developer, I can see a lot of opportunities using it. There are some iOS users here and they think the same.

Pros

Security.
Very easy to use.

Cons

Customization.
Price of iOS devices in Brazil is high.

Likelihood to Recommend

IOS security is great. Apple always takes great care when it comes to that. The apps are great as well and there a lot of them available on the app store. The system is very easy to use as well but it is too closed off. You cannot change the home screen for example. There are a lot of API's that you can use for building apps but some of them are closed.

iOS Review

December 5, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, it up to each employee if they're going to use Apple or Android. Some employees also use iOS. As per my role in this organization, it helps me a lot because all of my software is compatible with iOS. The only issue is when I need to collaborate with an Android user, since sharing data like photos/videos are not that easy. Though I can use third-party apps, most of the time it takes a lot of process in order to transfer simple files. Thankfully our organization uses O365, therefore most of my docs are on the cloud so that any device may access the files as long as it is connected to my account.

Pros

User-interface.
Design.
Less bugs than other platforms.

Cons

Not open-source.
Easier file sharing across other platforms.
Silent delivery of rapid app updates.

Likelihood to Recommend

IOs is suitable for cloud users like me and who are looking for a simple yet powerful OS. It is less appropriate for users who are using their phones for customization. Basically, it is good for managers, but not for IT programmers.

iOS For Simple Business Users

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

December 4, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for the entire organization for cellular communications, hotspot WiFi for emergencies, texting, and various app usage. We like iOS because it is secure and safe for our users. iOS seems to be very widely used for businesses.

Pros

Good sound quality.
Lots of available apps.
Secure and safe.
Easy to use as it keeps the basics simple.

Cons

Replacing the battery is hard and shouldn't be.
I know it is for security, but the ability to remote control iOS and help users would be great.
Security can be tight with the iCloud and passcodes and you can brick a phone if you are not careful.

Likelihood to Recommend

Its simple and great for low-tech business users. But my experienced users can easily get what they need to be done as well. With all the Apps available its a great tool for so many things. And again the Apps are more secure as putting an app on the App Store requires more info and checks than on android apps.

iOS Protects You From Viruses

December 4, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iOS is used in every day-to-day business operation. The biggest use is on the iPad and the iPhone both of which are used for board meetings and other events as well as for email, creating quick Word documents and other looking things up on the Internet.

Pros

Easy to Use
Quick Information
Secure

Cons

Layout Customizing
Faster Plugins
Easier VPN Access

Likelihood to Recommend

For court hearings instead of using a big laptop or a computer iPads are very easy to use and help with the flow of the process. iOS also is very spyware proof, which doesn't let people download any kind of files to infect their device and or filter through our network.

iOS keeps your device up-to-date, lowering costs without losing support from the manufacturer

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

iOS provides industry-standard ease of use, security, and safety. It has a fantastic selection of apps in the App Store that make the phone more than just a phone, but a mini-computer that allows for a prompt response to issues. It can be used for entertainment, support for technical problems or even to decode a trouble code on a car. All in all, a very useful and easy-to-use operating system.

Pros

User experience is consistent
Updates to the operating system and apps are seamless and unobtrusive.
The Messages app for communications is secure and safe from prying eyes.

Cons

Lacks certain power user customization
The UI is starting to get a little behind in design
Does a poor job of showing users all the features it has

Likelihood to Recommend

The safari browser is an excellent browser for mobile browsing with its content blockers that allow sites to load faster and without burdensome advertisements.

On the other hand, if you want to use the stock camera app, the settings are buried in the iOS settings app under camera. Forcing a power user to purchase a more powerful photo taking app to have more controls over the camera.
