Intune has been the shooting star of UEM products. Managing 175 million devices it is the most widely used global UEM solution.

Unified Endpoint Management Key Benefits: automation and security
As UEM has followed a trajectory of growth from MDM to EMM to UEM, its features and capabilities have expanded.
However, the key benefits of our Unified Endpoint Management solutions have remained remarkably consistent and relate primarily to automating and securing endpoint management.
Specifically key benefits include:
- simplified IT security administration
- push-based and instant delivery of policies, apps and updates
- fully automated enrolment, pre-configuration and retirement for any device
- end user profile enforcement
- amplified visibility of assets
- Internet of Things management
- single-pane endpoint management
UEM for all your Endpoint Devices
Mobile device management technology has shifted from on-premises to cloud delivery, while the device types under management have expanded from mobile phones and tablets, to include laptops, desktops, and IoT endpoints, whether they have a SIM card or not.
Management has also expanded from management of the physical device, to include the management of applications and content.
With each shift in technology the language to describe the product has shifted from MDM, to EMM, and now to UEM.
Unified Endpoint Management Solutions – Timeline
MDM We started with MDM in 2010 around the time of iOS 4 and the focus was all about remotely managing devices, and allowing users to perform only certain prescribed tasks on their devices. MDM includes features like device provisioning, enrolment, device security and location tracking. It also allows wiping the data in case the device is stolen or lost. A basic MDM tool has the ability to enforce security policies, track inventory and perform real-time monitoring and reporting.
EMM Then along came the explosion of the applications market. MDM needed to expand its capabilities to not only manage the device but also mobile applications and content. We saw the emergence of vendors that provided both MDM and mobile application management MAM. This evolution was referred to as enterprise mobility management or EMM. EMM vendors sought to cater to all enterprise mobility needs, and in more recent years, the rise of cloud apps has prompted many EMM vendors to also offer identity management features like federation and multi-factor authentication.
UEM In 2023 we now have unified endpoint management solution, UEM. Over the last few years, desktop operating systems like Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows 10 have added mobile device management features, and in response, EMM and MDM vendors started supporting desktops and laptops. The trend today is to unify the management of as many aspects of the end user experience as possible. Platforms seek to manage laptops, mobile devices, mobile apps, browsers, authentication and identity, and virtual desktops, all from one platform, with security policies that can span the whole stack. This UEM feature is also called ‘workspace’ management.
