Who is G2?
G2 is the world’s leading business software review platform. The Fall 2022 Grid® Report for Endpoint Management is
presented here in this abridged format in collaboration with Absolute Software to help enterprise and education clients
choose the right partner for endpoint management.
How G2 Defines Endpoint Management Software
Endpoint management software products help users keep track of devices in a system and ensure their software is
secure and up to date.
Typical features of endpoint management products are:
- Asset management
- Patch management
- Compliance evaluation
Companies use these tools to make sure no unapproved devices are linked to the system. They also use these products
to ensure each endpoint device has up-to-date software that has been patched properly to prevent intrusion.
These tools have many overlapping features with vulnerability management and mobile device management (MDM)
products. Endpoint management solutions simply have a wider scope of capabilities than vulnerability management
tools including device governance and device compliance. While endpoint management software helps secure all sorts
of endpoints, MDM tools typically only manage remote workers and mobile devices.
To qualify for inclusion in the Endpoint Management category, a product must:
- Manage endpoint assets connected to a network
- Manage patch updates and ensure device compliance
- Detect new or suspicious devices connected to a network
- Be able to install new operating systems or applications to an endpoint device

Asset Management
How are assets (laptops, desktops, and tablets) managed, tracked, and updated? Absolute simplifies
and centralizes asset management, inventory, and updates from a single, centralized console.
Absolute has been a life saver when it comes to
managing our fleet of Windows machines
Absolute has helped our team ensure that all
devices comply with our full disk encryption policies
through its extensive reporting features. Furthermore,
Absolute has helped us make sure critical
applications such as our AV solution are installed on
all endpoints through its persistence technology.

Awesome Product
This tool helped my organization recover 99% of
the equipment that was reported stolen. Over the
past 6 years working with this tool, Absolute has
added additional features that helped us reduce
our requirement on obtaining additional software to
monitor our systems.

Just what we needed
If you are thinking about Absolute for your
organization, do not think twice! It has been one
of the best device management solutions we
have used by far. Absolute does exactly what it
is intended for and has helped our organization
manage all our devices! Within our organization
we are required to have all devices up to date with
the latest patches and McAfee running. Absolute
has given us the ability to manage devices outside
our network.

I use Absolute daily and it is my go to app
It seems that whatever I’m looking for in connection to
a device, it is in Absolute. It is especially helpful for lost
devices, windows version management, reporting.

Absolute lets you take control of your asset
management
We love the remote freeze capabilities along with the full
inventory report. Absolute is the best I have ever used,
bar none. Give it a try, you will be thrilled with how well
it works.

Managing Assets in Private Healthcare
One of the most difficult responsibilities for Healthcare IT
is managing computer assets with a mobile workforce.
Often times, private healthcare does not understand
the security requirements or costs associated with this
responsibility until there is a need. Absolute provides
the level of management and security necessary to be
compliant. It is easily rolled out, doesn’t require extensive
expertise to deploy or manage, and has been invaluable
on more than one occasion where a compromise was
averted due to Absolute. As a CIO for a healthcare group
that covers several states, Absolute is invaluable to our IT
operations. I highly recommend it to any small or large
business that needs a complete security solution.

Compliance
How does Absolute helps organizations become compliant with HIPAA, FERPA, GDPR, NIST, and other
frameworks and regulations? Absolute ensures that organizations are always audit-ready with automatic
monitoring and remediation for sensitive data stored on devices, and can provide proof of compliance and data
sanitization.
Best in class
Some of our clients are under HIPAA compliance,
being able to show our clients that they can rest
assured any asset we have that connects to their
networks is 100% protected is a huge plus for us. We
were able to take on more of these clients and even
though we are a small company, we still compete with
the larger firms in our field.

Strong performance, excellent interface
Streamlined approach for data organization. Extends
to improve policy and security compliance within our
school district.

Integral part of meeting our compliance standards
Absolute is a one-stop shop for meeting all our
compliance requirements. The dashboard is easy to
navigate and provides great snapshots of current
environment.
