There are ways around this. I run Outlook inside of a sandbox, so you can remote wipe the sandbox, but the rest of the phone isn't accessible to anything in the sandbox even with "device admin" permissions.
There are ways around most things, but you'll have to define this sandbox on your mobile as a lot of these can be prevented with the right additional product, obviously Microsoft being Microsoft isn't going to give this away.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's how our system sets it up, but it's supposed to be set up like that not as a workaround, I feel super duper sketchy about wiping it uses personal device. When they leave the company that's the only section of the device we wipe.
There's only like a couple of dozen uses on the account that actually use their personal devices. Mostly just the have IT staff and a few managers who need to be emergency contactable.
