How to evaluate Endpoint & Device Management

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of AnyDesk. It comes 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

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
