Endpoint Central
Centralised management for endpoint devices, software, patches and security controls.
For IT teams managing device, application, patch and security activity across diverse endpoint estates.
Manage endpoints, software and security from one console
Endpoint estates often include different device types and operating systems, alongside software deployment, patching, asset records and user support work. Managing these tasks through separate tools can make routine administration harder to coordinate.
Endpoint Central brings endpoint management functions into one console. IT teams can automate patch deployment, distribute software, manage hardware and software assets, support users remotely and administer mobile devices. Security capabilities add vulnerability remediation and endpoint controls in the relevant edition.
Suite Products
Included products and capabilities vary by edition, licence, and configuration.
Where Endpoint Central is used
Endpoint Central is suited to routine endpoint administration, including deploying patches and applications, tracking device and software assets, and connecting with users for real-time troubleshooting. It also supports mobile device, application, email and content management. Windows operating system imaging and deployment is available in the UEM edition, while vulnerability remediation and endpoint security functions are available in the Security edition.
