AppSense Recognized by 451 Research Impact Report as “The Missing Link for Virtual Desktops”
December 2015 by Marc Jacob
AppSense announced that
it has been recognized in a 451 Research Impact Report as providing user management
that is “the missing link for virtual desktops.” The report showcases
AppSense’s renewed focus on extending the security, performance and manageability
of end-user computing environments and highlights its growing opportunity to provide
end-user management tools that manage user independence from underlying
infrastructure.
“…AppSense has returned to its roots: extending Citrix, Microsoft and VMware
end-user computing environments so that they work better, and pitching in on Windows
migration, desktop virtualization, compliance and security projects,” writes John
Abbott, Founder and Distinguished Analyst, 451 Research. “As the spectrum of
remote and virtual desktop delivery mechanisms broadens – from physical PC,
old-style session-based computing to full-strength VDI, streaming, layering,
containers and desktop as a service – it’s becoming more important to maintain
some independence from the underlying infrastructure and the user-facing management
and personalization layer. Desktops and endpoints need to be managed in a way that
reduces complexity – at the same time, security must be maintained, and support
for cloud delivery models must be built in.”
In the report, 451 Research provides analysis on AppSense’s growing international
channel-based go-to-market strategy as well as its competitive landscape. It also
offers an assessment of AppSense’s suite of UEM solutions, including its
DesktopNow Suite, including Enterprise Manager, Application Manager and Performance
Manager, as well as its DataNow solution for secure enterprise file sync and share
operations. The report additionally discusses AppSense’s new analytics solution,
AppSense Insight, for monitoring user devices and interactions across laptops,
terminal services, VDI or static desktops.
“Enterprise organizations have an increasing need to secure their endpoints
without compromising the user experience that fuels workplace productivity,” said
Jed Ayres, Senior Vice President of Marketing, AppSense. “At AppSense we are laser
focused on helping companies achieve this goal by securing against intentional or
unintentional user actions, simplifying desktop control, and delivering
unprecedented visibility into endpoints. This is exactly why, as the 451 Research
report highlights, the number of endpoints AppSense manages has passed eight million
and counting.”
