As a free download, BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is definitely worth a try for SMBs wanting to enable the mobile workforce.
Once we’d installed it, creating users and managing their access levels was quick and easy – particularly as you can roll out settings for entire groups in one go, rather than having to do so on a one by one basis. This meant we were quickly up and running with BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express.
Having not used a similar product before, it’s difficult to compare BlackBerry’s offering with other products on the market. But I would recommend it to all small companies with a BlackBerry enabled workforce. It’s quick and easy to install, and gives you immediate control over business- and employee- owned BlackBerrys.
