Supported devices

In general, any device running Android 6+ with Google Play Services is compatible with Cerberus Enterprise.

For a better user experience, we suggest using devices that meet the Android Enterprise Recommended requirements.

Some features are limited to specific Android versions, or may behave differently across OS versions. For more information about a specific feature, see the Policies section of the documentation.

Cerberus Enterprise supports both company-owned and personally-owned devices, and two management modes: device owner and profile owner.

Personally-owned devices can be managed through a work profile. This enables a BYOD solution by keeping employees' work data and apps separate from personal data and apps, improving both security and privacy. This option is suitable for devices already owned by employees that you want to enroll in your organization for work use.

Company-owned devices can also be managed through a work profile, but you can also choose the fully managed option, which allows stricter control over the device. Company-owned devices with a work profile are suitable when you provide corporate devices to employees for work, while still allowing personal use. Fully managed devices are better suited for devices that must be used only for work, or for dedicated devices (COSU, corporate-owned single-use), such as kiosks.
