How to evaluate Endpoint & Device Management

CIOPages Research Team evaluation framework for this category — not an assessment of AnyDesk. From our Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) buyer guide.

30%
OS Breadth & Per-Platform Depth
Genuine management depth on every OS you run — Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Android (incl. Android Enterprise work profile), Linux, and rugged/wearable/shared devices — not just an enrollment checkbox. How quickly the vendor supports new Apple Declarative Device Management and Android features each OS release
20%
Identity & Zero-Trust Integration
Native conditional access tied to device compliance/posture, integration with your IdP (Entra ID, Okta, Google), certificate and Wi-Fi/VPN provisioning, and how device signals feed access decisions rather than living in a silo
18%
Security Convergence
Built-in or tightly integrated mobile threat defense, endpoint privilege management, vulnerability/patch posture, attack-surface and compliance enforcement, and clean hand-off to your EDR/XDR — UEM as a security control, not just inventory
17%
App, Patch & Configuration Lifecycle
OS and third-party patching coverage and cadence, app deployment and packaging (incl. macOS and store/VPP apps), zero-touch provisioning (Autopilot, Apple ADE, Android zero-touch), policy/baseline management, and self-healing or remediation automation
10%
Scale, DEX & Administration
Performance and reliability at your device count, multi-tenant/RBAC and delegated admin, reporting and fleet visibility, end-user self-service, and digital employee experience (DEX) telemetry — device health and remediation, not just compliance state
5%
Deployment Model & Licensing Fit
Cloud vs. self-hosted/on-prem options and data residency, how the per-device/per-user model maps to your estate, and whether the capability you need is bundled in licenses you already own or is a paid add-on tier
