The endpoint management market has shifted. Vendors are no longer measured on traditional patch-and-asset workflows—they are measured on real-time intelligence, agentic AI, just-in-time access, and the ability to unify IT and security operations on a single platform. We believe the Forrester Wave captures that shift.
In this report, Forrester evaluates eight vendors across thirty-four criteria spanning current offering, and strategy. The full report includes Forrester's analyst take on each vendor—including Tanium's strategies, capabilities, and customer feedback—plus the underlying scoring methodology.
