What Is UEM? How It Differs from MDM and Endpoint Management
UEM combines older MDM (mobile device management) and client management tools. IT manages inventory, patching, software deployment and policy in one place.
An approach that manages computers, servers and mobile devices from one console.
Why Does It Matter?
Separate tools mean separate inventories, and separate inventories mean unseen devices. One console shows missing patches and unmanaged devices faster.
Core Principles & How It Works
What Threats Arise from Inadequate Protection?
- ✕Devices that fall between tools and are never managed.
- ✕License and operating costs that grow with each extra tool.
How Does Moftgate Solve This Challenge?
Moftgate Endpoint Management brings Windows, macOS and Linux devices into one console. The same agent also runs DLP and DSPM, so you do not need a separate agent for data security.
