Ivanti, the automation platform that helps make every IT connection smarter and more secure, recently announced that it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Unified Endpoint Management, Q4 2021 report.
“As a longstanding partner of Ivanti products here in South Africa, we are not surprised to see Ivanti’s UEM recognised as a leader as their vision for unified IT comes to fruition, more so than ever with the acquisition of Cherwell, MobileIron’s mobile device management (MDM) and Pulse Secure security,” said Think Tank Software Solutions Managing Director, Greg Strydom, “Like so many businesses, the past two years have been transformative for our clients and their employees. Ivanti has invested significantly in the technologies that power the workplace of tomorrow, and our clients appreciate the digital employee experience now more than ever and being able to consolidate to a single UEM platform.”
The global report evaluated 11 select vendors based on a comprehensive set of 24 evaluation criteria in the categories of current offering, strategy, and market presence. Of the providers evaluated, Ivanti was one of only three Leaders. Ivanti also earned the highest possible scores in the execution, planned enhancements, partner ecosystem, and revenue criteria.
The Forrester Wave report stated, “Today, Ivanti is the only provider in the market that can provide a fully integrated UEM, ESM, and EUEM capability, a strong differentiator that’s hard to replicate with third-party tools. With the acquisition of MobileIron, Ivanti brings together its strong Windows management and patching with MobileIron’s strengths, mainly identity and access management (IAM), password-less authentication, OS containerisation, and mobile threat defence.”
The report continued, “Organisations that want full-stack automation across device, security, and service management should consider Ivanti.”
Especially moving into 2022, Forrester predicts that 60% of organisations will pursue a hybrid working strategy in which employees divide their work time between home and office. Ivanti Unified Endpoint Manager -- available through Think Tank Software Solutions Ivanti Premier Partner in South Africa -- supports the hybrid, ‘work from everywhere’ environment in order to:
- Increase user and IT productivity. Discover and inventory all devices in real time to improve security posture with accurate data.
- Empower IT administrators to automate provisioning of devices and software deployments. Leverage automation to easily initiate automated actions like lock, wipe, or reset devices without switching consoles.
- Fix user issues quickly. Reduce from weeks to minutes the time spent on aggregating and harmonising data.
