The growing number of endpoints—PCs, mobile devices, printers, IoT, and BYOD—has made IT management increasingly complex and risky. Research highlights serious gaps in how organizations handle these endpoints, exposing them to security threats and operational inefficiencies.
- About 30% of enterprise endpoints are not properly managed, creating significant security vulnerabilities and increasing the risk of downtime.
- 94% of organizations use multiple endpoint management platforms, leading to fragmented systems and inefficient IT operations.
- Despite 90% awareness of unified endpoint management (UEM) benefits, most organizations struggle to adopt it due to limited IT resources and expertise.
The study concludes that unified endpoint management (UEM) offers a streamlined solution by providing centralized control and visibility over all devices. However, adoption remains low due to internal constraints, with nearly 60% of organizations still managing endpoints in-house rather than outsourcing. This gap between awareness and implementation continues to hinder efficiency and security.
