Dell OpenManage Mobile (OMM) is an app that enables IT Administrators to securely provision, monitor, and troubleshoot Dell PowerEdge servers or MX7000 chassis directly from a mobile device. OMM can access and manage PowerEdge servers or MX7000 modular chassis either remotely (i.e. over management network) or from inside the data center (i.e. when an IT Administrator is physically present in front of server or a chassis). Following are the ways you can access a server or an MX7000 chassis: • Remote into a server (iDRAC7, iDRAC8 or iDRAC9) • Remote into an MX7000 chassis and sleds • Remote into a console (OpenManage Enterprise) • At-the-server access to a PowerEdge server with iDRAC9 • At-the-chassis access to an MX7000 chassis and sleds When connected through a console (OpenManage Enterprise), OMM can access Dell servers, chassis, storage, networking, and any other supported third-party appliances being managed through this console. For specific feature support on OpenManage Mobile, please visit Dell Tech Center at www.DellTechCenter.com/OMM SUPPORT FOR AT-THE-SERVER MANAGEMENT • At-the-server access is available on PowerEdge 14th Generation and above rack and towers which support Quick Sync 2. For the latest list of supported hardware models, please contact a Dell Sales representative. • Quick Sync 2 module utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi to establish a secure connection between server and mobile device running OMM. SUPPORT FOR AT-THE-CHASSIS MANAGEMENT • Quick Sync 2 module for at-the-chassis access is available on MX7000 modular chassis FEATURES Supported features depend on the type of access (console or iDRAC) and the specific generation of server being accessed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UID Enterprise at 4.9 against OpenManage Mobile's 3.0.

On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
