How to evaluate Endpoint & Device Management
This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Microsoft Intune. 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
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
