6 more reasons to choose Endpoint Central over Ivanti

We don’t go product shopping

Endpoint Central takes pride in having zero acquisitions. We build all our features from the ground up and do not feel the need to “fill the gaps” with other products. There have been 12 major mergers and acquisitions in the history of Ivanti. While the platform may look feature-rich on the outside, watch out for neatly-packed clutter on the inside.

The integration of alien codebases, more vulnerability, and less usability are some side-effects of mergers. Ivanti users often complain about constant changes in back-end technology, and their employees being caught up in ever-changing corporate management. With Endpoint Central, you don’t have to worry about any of these. Our product is 100% homegrown, all code is our own, and our management is like second family to our customers.

data

Data management can make or break your business

Data loss prevention features are included in Endpoint Central, which detects and classifies data while at rest, in use, or in transit. A specialized defense against data loss and leakage is missing from Ivanti.

security

We’re overriding rigid security with contextual security

Endpoint Central detects CVEs proactively, provides an auto-uninstall policy, auto-scans and deploys security misconfigurations, and discovers high-risk software and end-of-life software. Ivanti falls short on these security nuances.

app

You won’t be tied to your desk when you have an app

With Endpoint Central’s mobile app, you can manage your endpoints from anywhere, anytime. Ivanti doesn’t have a mobile app, depriving its users of true mobility.

core

Transparency is at the core of what we do

A lack of product documentation and poor customer support will often push you to spend more on training courses and consultants. Endpoint Central’s email, phone, and chat support are all open to you at no additional charge! Unlike other companies, we do not charge hidden fees or hide our prices online.

zero

There’s zero learning curve

Any person with a basic understanding of technology can get Endpoint Central up and running, which is particularly useful for organizations without the dedicated resources to handle endpoint management. Because Ivanti has many moving parts, its learning curve is steep, and enterprises often end up breaking their banks for various training programs or hiring system administrators to specifically work with this software.

  • Used in more than 190 countries
