We’ve written about Mobile Admin several times on BlackBerryCool and most recently they sent us over some validation for their product in terms of disaster recovery. Mobile Admin generally lets IT administrators perform their jobs from their smartphone and it’s interesting to see how the product helps during natural disasters. More after the jump.

We haven’t covered Rove in a while and the company has had a few announcements since the launch of the Rove Mobile IT Admin Solution version 6.0 back in September. The company let us know that one of the most used and appreciated features has been Rove’s Dashboard, a solution that aggregates alerts, alarms, notifications and tickets from IT monitors and incident management systems, presents them to IT admins directly on their mobile, and makes it possible to quickly asses the problem and implement a solution. One of the most helpful features of Rove’s product, is that it can deliver alerts even if the Exchange and BlackBerry Enterprise servers are offline.
Rove’s Mobile IT Admin solution is also tablet ready, which is crucial in today’s mixed platform enterprise.
A free, 14 day trial of Rove’s product is available for download at roveit.com/trial.
We have written about Rove’s Mobile Admin product several times on BlackBerryCool and while the feature set and demo is impressive, we haven’t seen many in-depth reviews of the software. Mobile Admin 5.1 is the latest version of the software, allowing secure mobile access for IT admins so they can investigate and resolve IT incidents from their BlackBerry.
Andrew Garcia of eWeek took Mobile Admin 5.1 Professional for a test run, and found it “provides an excellent way for data center administrators to monitor and troubleshoot server and application issues from their mobile device, granting administrators better control and faster response times when they are out of the office.” Andrew did find a few instances where the software could be improved, which is important in any well-rounded review.
Check out Andrew’s review of Mobile Admin 5.1 Professional at eWeek.
Rove have announced that they are now BlackBerry Alliance Elite Members. Rove’s flagship product is Mobile Admin, which allows IT administrators to resolve incidents, reduce downtime and improve customer service, all from their BlackBerry. Mobile Admin has over 2800 customers worldwide, including more than 80 Fortune 500 companies and five of the world’s 15 largest banks.
Rove also re-released their Mobile SSH client, which allows users to interact with their Unix, Linux and IBM hosts via Telnet and Secure Shell. The app is currently available for download in BlackBerry App World.
In terms of news I’d say it was a slow week for the BlackBerry Nation. On the bright side, there were some great apps that launched in both App World and the BlackBerryCool store. SmrtGuard-Free launched in App World, as well as Rove’s Mobile SSH for BlackBerry. Foursquare was also updated to version 1.7.0 with visual enhancements and tips features, and you can find them on App World now too.
Also worth mentioning is that BlackBerryCool currently has SIX contests on the go where winners haven’t yet been chosen. I’m going to choose winners for some of the older contests before Monday morning so make sure you’re entered in all six.
