"Stable and reliable Android based OS with some additional very neat features"

5/5

What do you like best about Android OS by emteria?

The best I like Emteria OS Remote capabilities and visibility for each device through MDM Portal. You can easily see the status of your running devices which are located around the globe. There is an extensive list of commands that you can send remotely from your browser to any chosen device as simple as reboot itself, change OS configuration, install or remove apps, close or open any installed app, pull log files, submit a bug report, etc. There is an embedded VNC server that is protected with the password and could be (de)activated remotely as well. It gives you the ability to control the screen of any selected device.

You can also preconfigure your OS settings and download Emteria OS with specifically pre-selected settings and configuration.

Customer support is outstanding as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
