Endpoint Management has never been so easy...
- Periodic vulnerability analysis, including the solution to these security gaps.
- inventory of assets (hardware and software), with notifications to interested parties
- centralized application management: application deployment and application uninstallation (manual and automatic)
- Should support the deployment of images for operating systems other than Windows
- Agentless asset scanning, in addition to what already works well with agent
- It must incorporate an antivirus, it is the last feature that would be missing to provide complete security management.

Great for supporting users
- Mobile Device Management is easy to get set up for users
- Patch Management gives a clear overview as to how many devices are missing important updates
- The Remote Control tool is a lifesaver for users working remotely
- USB Secure configuration isn't possible for us to use as I can't manually add every single device ID from every computer for exemptions
- The Remote Control tool hasn't ever reconnected for me when attempting a user device restart
- It's difficult to fine tune our Auto Patch deployment
