MDM built for Zebra devices. Nothing else.
SOTI, 42Gears, and Workspace ONE manage every device that exists, for every industry. Stable MDM manages the ones your warehouse, retail floor, or field team actually carries — TC52, TC57, TC72, MC9300, TC21, ET40 — and does it with less setup and less to click through.
What it does
Every feature here exists because a Zebra fleet needed it, not because a feature-matrix said so.
Kiosk & single-app mode
Lock a device to one app, or a custom launcher offering a few — the whole point of a scan gun, not a phone.
Barcode enrollment
Stage a device by scanning a QR code on its own integrated imager — Wi-Fi credentials included, no manual afw#setup.
Zebra OEMConfig
Push DataWedge scanner profiles, Enterprise Home Screen, and Enterprise Keyboard configuration directly.
Smart Groups
Devices get tagged and re-policied automatically as their model or status changes — nothing to manage by hand.
Fleet dashboards
Battery health, charging compliance, and status breakdowns for the whole fleet at a glance.
HIPAA-tier hardening
Screen-capture block, short forced auto-lock, and an automatic wipe if a device goes missing for too long.
Pricing
Per device, per month. No seat minimums, no annual lock-in required.

How it compares
SOTI MobiControl and 42Gears SureMDM are the direct competitors in the rugged-device space. Workspace ONE plays a different game — a general enterprise mobility suite, not a rugged/Zebra specialist — but shows up in the same buying conversations, so it's worth being upfront about where it fits.
| Stable MDM | SOTI MobiControl | 42Gears SureMDM | Workspace ONE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Zebra Android rugged devices only | Any device, any OS | Any device, any OS | Any device, any OS (broad enterprise mobility suite) |
| Setup complexity | Minutes — scan a barcode | Hours to days | Hours to days | Days to weeks (built for large IT rollouts) |
| Zebra-specific tooling | DataWedge, EHS, EKB OEMConfig built in | Supported, bolted on | Supported, bolted on | Limited — not a rugged-device specialist |
| Pricing model | $2.50–$6.00/device/mo, no minimums | Custom quote, typically higher minimums | Custom quote | Enterprise licensing, typically bundled/seat-based |
Built on Google's own device management
Stable MDM is a policy layer over Android Management API — Google enforces every policy on the device itself. There's no separate agent to keep updated, and no policy that can silently drift out of sync with what Google's own client actually supports.
