News - VMware - VMware Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Unified Endpoint Management Software
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - October 09, 2017) - VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), a global leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility, today announced it has been positioned as a leader in the "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Unified Endpoint Management Software 2017 Vendor Assessment." The report profiled 12 vendors and VMware was recognized as a leader in unified endpoint management (UEM).
VMware Workspace ONE™ powered by AirWatch® offers a single solution to enable UEM and unify the end user experience across all endpoint platforms including Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, iOS, and Android. Workspace ONE is the industry's first digital workspace platform that uniquely integrates AirWatch endpoint management technology with end-user identity to deliver a consumer-simple experience with enterprise-class security. The platform also extends the same experience and security to traditional Windows environments with VMware Horizon® virtual application and desktop technology.
According to the IDC MarketScape report, "VMware's AirWatch EMM product includes extensive UEM support in addition to Windows 10 modern management capabilities such as legacy Windows PC configuration and application management. AirWatch also supports macOS management features such as Mac app delivery, pre-deployment/staging system configuration, and support for macOS via Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP)." The report continued, "VMware is first UEM vendor to support Chromebook and Chrome OS devices at the API level with Google's Chrome Device Manager (CDM) service. Other third-party EMM/UEM platforms manage Chrome devices at the browser and browser extension level but are not integrated at the API level with CDM."
"Today's employees have grown accustomed to the seamless onboarding process associated with booting up a new mobile device. We're on a mission to bring this consumer-simple experience to PC lifecycle management to transform end user and IT experience," explained Sumit Dhawan, senior vice president and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware.
