VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise
software, today announced it has been named a leader in the IDC
MarketScape: Unified Endpoint Management Software 2018 Vendor
Assessment. The IDC MarketScape positioned VMware highest in its
axis for capabilities, strategy, and largest in market share for
the assessed segment.
As businesses plot their course to implement comprehensive
device management platforms, IDC predicts1 by 2023 more than
three-quarters of enterprises expect to have either the majority,
or the entirety, of their corporate PC deployments managed by
Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) platforms. VMware’s position in
the UEM Software vendor assessment reflects its comprehensive
approach targeted directly at PC lifecycle management installed
bases, as enterprises continue to transition from traditional
management approaches to modern management through a single console
and platform.
According to the IDC MarketScape report, “VMware, with its
Workspace ONE unified endpoint management, is among the most
aggressive in terms of pushing UEM capabilities to the broadest set
of users and challenging incumbent PC lifecycle management
platforms for migration to UEM and modern management.”
Workspace ONE provides a consistent unified app catalog that
enables single sign-on to all business applications – SaaS,
internal, native, and virtual – bridging the gap for modern
workforces. Through VMware Workspace ONE UEM, customers may
leverage cloud-based modern management techniques to reinvent PC
management and unify alongside, mobile, rugged, and IoT
devices.
“Our customers have the challenging task of meeting the diverse
and evolving needs of a digital workforce. Our unified endpoint
management platform serves as a foundational technology for
enterprises as they embark on their digital transformation
journey,” said Noah Wasmer, senior vice president and general
manager, End-User Computing, VMware. “We’re proud to be recognized
by the IDC MarketScape for our breadth of capabilities in both UEM
and EMM technologies as we continue to enable seamless IT and
end-user experiences – no matter the device or OS platform – with
intelligence-driven and automated end-to-end modern management
capabilities in Workspace ONE.”
