FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International Data Corporation (IDC) today published an IDC Innovators report profiling three technology providers that are considered key emerging vendors in the unified endpoint management software market. The three companies named as IDC Innovators are 42Gears Mobility Systems, Fleetsmith, and Miradore.
Unified endpoint management (UEM) technologies provide management, configuration, and deployment capabilities to all types of end-user computing devices, from traditional PCs and laptops to smartphones, tablets, and even some Internet of Things (IoT) device types. UEM software is experiencing new interest now that the software tools exist to provide common management across multiple operating environments, including Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Chrome, and Linux-based systems. While there are many large, established UEM providers, the evolving market has room for smaller players with products addressing innovative use cases for UEM deployments.
"Endpoint device deployments in enterprises today have never been more diverse in terms of use cases, device form factors, and varying operating system types," said Phil Hochmuth, program director, Enterprise Mobility at IDC. "The three vendors named as IDC Innovators reflect the heterogeneous nature of end-user computing and endpoint device management requirements among enterprises and SMBs today and in the future."
42Gears Mobility Systems offers a device management platform that allows for simplified, repeatable, and secure configuration setup and deployment for thousands of devices into unmanaged or challenging environments such as retail, manufacturing, and in-vehicle use cases.
Fleetsmith is a SaaS-based endpoint management software provider that specifically focuses on Apple products, enabling consolidated device procurement, management, support, and packaged application delivery.
Miradore combines a range of UEM management features into its platform, allowing the company to address both cloud-focused customers and regulated industries where on-premise delivery models are preferred.
The report, IDC Innovators:Unified Endpoint Management Software, 2018 (IDC #US43983917), profiles three providers of unified endpoint management software.
