AirWatch Relay
Setting up a Work Managed Device mode requires a staging process. This means that since the devices being provisioned are truly for corporate ownership, they will be staged and enrolled by the IT administrator before being given to an end user. This will require a staging device or a “parent device” that will stage a “child device”. The parent device will have an application called the AirWatch Relay installed on it. This application will relay information through NFC telling the child device to: Set the device date/time and locale Connect to the staging Wi-Fi network Download the latest production version of the AirWatch Agent for Android Silently set the AirWatch Agent as device administrator Automatically enroll the agent into AirWatch
Note: the child device must be in a factory reset state and support/have NFC turned on by default in order to be provisioned into Work Managed Device mode. This will guarantee that the device is not setup for personal use.

Doesn't work, both of my devices are android 6.0 or above and both have nfc, I'm practically snaking them together but it's still not working, the poorly written and out of date pdf is no help. I have trialed 3 other mdms and this one is by far the most difficult to enroll a device, 7 hours in and still not got a single device enrolled, what a joke.
not able to use with Android 8. Works with Android 7. In Android 8 it gives an error that it's not able to connect to WiFi.
As stated needs to support secure WIFI!!!
Works pretty well, could do with an option for WPA2 enterprise for WiFi to better support corporate WiFi networks. Having to enrol through mobile hotspot on my personal device.
Requires encryption, even if the option is disabled. Have had written confirmation from AirWatch this is by design.
Makes enrollment easier for us admins. Ignore any negative reviews from users as this is for admins of the airwatch console.
Works with some minor bugs. Would be best if WPA2 ENTERPRISE WiFi was available. Having to require use of hotspot to setup phones in Enterpirse is not efficient. Need ability to join WPA2 network.
