Hi Jeff Thanks for your reply. We use both of mobileiron and touchdown but we found that TD is not good at UI and stability. I just wondering why google ignore this part for enterprise market. Email, calendar, and tasks are basic things and now we have to pay for them additionally just because native apps can't integrate with MDM. That's why iOS is more popular in enterprise market than android.
