ManageEngine’s Unified Endpoint platform recognition
Forrester evaluated 9 UEM vendors against 28 criteria across 3 categories – current offering, strategy and market presence. ManageEngine attained top scores possible in the OS support, application management, innovation, pricing flexibility and transparency criteria. In this evaluation of ManageEngine’s UEMS offering, Endpoint Central, the Forrester report stated, “ManageEngine wants to use it to drive security and IT ops convergence by integrating classic security features — such as vulnerability management, app control, and ransomware protection — with management capabilities in an integrated, first-party solution.”
“The vendor has innovated with multiple new product releases in the past year, driven by market leading R&D investment, increased engineering headcount, and high revenue growth.” Over the last few years, the company has greatly enhanced the capabilities of Endpoint Central, especially on the security front. With releases like Endpoint Privilege Management, Data Loss Prevention, anti-ransomware and the recent addition of next-generation antivirus, the company has rounded off its endpoint protection platform (EPP). A cloud version of Endpoint Central MSP, to help managed service providers streamline and efficiently handle their operations, was also launched last month.

This recognition is a validation for us of our efforts in consolidating Endpoint Central as an end-to-end endpoint platform, empowering IT teams to manage and secure their digital workplaces.”
