iOS Still Number One in Enterprise but Android is Gaining Market Share

 Good Technology Net Activation by Platform

A new report from Good Technology shows tablet use in Enterprise is growing significantly. Apple is still ahead of the game, but as new apps hit the market, making it possible for companies to bring mid-level tablets into the corporate environment, Android is gaining significant numbers across enterprise, making Apple’s work harder than ever.

Among the discoveries made by Good Technology in its Mobility Index Report, one observation is that the enterprise market is showing signs of spending shifts toward mobile applications and software management solutions for them. As quoted by a recent Forrester report, “At the end of the day, we may talk about mobile devices, but in reality it’s all about the apps.”

Highlights of the report show that Android enterprise app activation grew 12 percent in the current quarter from the previous one, while iOS dropped by four percent.

Additionally, total Android device activation increased five percent from last quarter to 32 percent. Apple’s iOS maintains the lead with 67 percent of total device activation in the same quarter. However, that is a decrease of five percent.
