The Forrester Wave , which assesses the top vendors in the market , serves as a guide for technology professionals and organisations when they make purchasing decisions in the crowded vendor landscape .

“ Holistic thinking is driving the evolution of our entire platform , enabling our products to work contextually together and help our customers address their modern-day challenges and realise their highest-priority business outcomes , from digital transformation to employee experience and beyond ,” said Rajesh Ganesan , President at ManageEngine .

“ We are thrilled with this recognition from Forrester for our UEM and ESM solutions , which validates for us our path of integrating

Rajesh Ganesan , President ManageEngine our solutions to deliver the digital enterprise management platform .”

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 R & D investment , increased engineering headcount , and high revenue growth .”

Over the last few years , the company has greatly enhanced the capabilities of

A cloud version of Endpoint Central MSP , to help managed service providers streamline and efficiently handle their operations , was also launched last month .
