Deployment took just minutes and consisted of just a few simple steps. After we installed the administration software, a driver for the device and a few quick configurations, we were enrolling users effortlessly. The enrollment process is also quite simple and can be done at two levels. Users can be enrolled in either a quick enrollment or an advanced enrollment. Advanced enrollment takes just a little bit longer, but offers more security options.
