As a member of an enterprise IT, and one that has been involved in out testing and decision making I'd put it down to three things:
1. Android support for Exchange is generally awful. I can't speak for ICS, but many of the android phones we tested wouldn't do calendar sync, or would randomly stop receiving emails, requiring hard resets, or would have little to no global address lookup. In contrast, iOS has had very good exchange support since at least iOS 3, and it is rock solid.
2. Android still doesn't work with our Cisco VPN, iOS has since at least v3.
3. Beyond the internet and PIM software, we have been more successful finding quality apps. Too many apps on both platforms are lightweight things without much use in a business environment, but there are some decent application to be found on iOS (the Omnigroup apps come to mind.). There is also better support from business focused companies like VMware, ESRI, Autodesk, and all the conferencing companies like WebEx.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoI must be walking under a silver lined cloud; I've had an original droid since launch day over 2 years ago, and now an ICS Galaxy Nexus since launch day, and the Exchange integration has been better than my Windows PC, by and large. I've never had any of the issues you mention. I don't doubt you've had them, but I have not. I frequently get "dinged" on my phone for new email before Outlook. (I will admit that deleting a mail on outlook takes up to 5 minutes to "be gone" on the Android.) But never any calendar issues. Never any dropped mails. Never any needs to "hard reset". Lookups work as well on my phone as they do on outlook, for me.
