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. ### 2. Data Management Can Make or Break Your Business ![data](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v4-1.svg) Data loss [prevention](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/endpoint-security/what-is.html) 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. ### 3. We’re Overriding Rigid Security with Contextual Security ![security](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v4-2.svg) 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. ### 4. You Won’t Be Tied to Your Desk When You Have an App ![app](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v4-3.svg) 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. ### 5. Transparency Is at the Core of What We Do ![core](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v4-4.svg) 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. ### 6. There’s Zero Learning Curve ![zero](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v4-5.svg) 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. ## The Endpoint Central Advantage - Built from ground up – Zero acquisition - Used in more than 190 countries - Zero learning curve ### By the Numbers ![Years](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v3-10.svg) **20+ yrs** Experience ![Users](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v3-11.svg) **31K+** Enterprises ![Endpoints](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v3-12.svg) **26M+** Managed endpoints ![Languages](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/icon/box-icon-v3-13.svg) **20** Supported languages ## Industry Recognition ![Gartner](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/logo/gartner-logo.svg) ManageEngine has been recognized as a Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice in the Voice of the Customer for Unified Endpoint Management Tools 2024.
