I can't seem to find a MobiControl agent for a Google Pixel smartphone. Is Android Enterprise the only option?

Hello John,
Currently SOTI do not have Android plus agent for Google devices but may be in future we can have MobiControl agent available for Google devices as well.
The current trend for most OEM device brands targeting enterprise market seems to be rolling out devices certified for Android Enterprise. There will then be virtually zero effort/cost to work with any MDM vendor (such as Soti) to work on any device/OEM specific agent. Such devices will have all the basic Enterprise-grade MDM features endorsed by Google. Of course, if they want their devices to support more advance features on Soti, they still need work with Soti to get device/OEM specific AE plug-in ready. When Google adds more MDM related features in future Android versions, the device vendors can be confident that the features will liekly work right away with their old/nex devices using the generic Android-Enterrpise device agent. Hence, as of 2020, even if a device has both working Android Enteprise and Android+ device agent, the better choice should very likely be the former.
