ManageEngine views its recognition as a Challenger in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Management Tools as a significant milestone, coinciding with 20 years of its innovation in endpoint management.

Gartner also recognized ManageEngine across all evaluated Use Cases, with its highest score in autonomous endpoint management. Additionally, ManageEngine was named the only vendor to be recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Management Tools based on positive customer reviews for Endpoint Central. According to ManageEngine, this recognition aligns with its continued focus on advancing endpoint analytics, low-code automation, and workflow-driven orchestration to support proactive and predictive endpoint operations. These capabilities are fundamental to Endpoint Central’s approach to enabling greater automation and operational efficiency across endpoint environments.

“We believe these recognitions reflect Endpoint Central’s continued evolution to meet the needs of modern, distributed IT environments,” said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, vice president of ManageEngine. “By bringing endpoint management, experience, and security workflows together in a single platform, Endpoint Central helps organizations reduce tool sprawl, operate consistently at scale, and progress toward more autonomous endpoint management—no matter where or how work happens.”

Through its extension library and in-product marketplace, customers can deploy or adapt ready-to-use workflows without coding or dependence on release cycles. Advanced automation is supported through custom modules and the Freestyle Orchestrator. By unifying management, security, DEX, and access within a single architecture, Endpoint Central aims to enable enterprises to operate consistently at scale and progress toward greater automation.
