Market Recognition

ControlUp believes this recognition underscores the rapid adoption of ControlUp ONE, a Customers' Choice unified platform that provides real-time visibility, proactive remediation, and intelligent automation across desktops, Cloud PCs, virtual workspaces, SaaS apps, and unified communications. Powered by Agentic AI, the platform continuously analyzes real-time signals to detect issues and initiate self-healing optimizations without manual intervention.

"Being named a Leader for the third consecutive year is a proud moment for ControlUp and, we believe, a reflection of the value our customers and partners are seeing every day," said Jed Ayres, CEO, ControlUp. "The DEX market is moving fast from visibility to action. IT teams no longer just need more dashboards. They need systems that can detect, diagnose, and remediate issues before employees are impacted. That is the shift we are driving with ControlUp ONE, Pulse AI, and our vision for Autonomous Endpoint Management."

Product Perspective

"We are thrilled that Gartner has recognized ControlUp as a Leader in DEX for the third year in a row. We believe this recognition gives us a strong foundation to define what comes next: Autonomous Endpoint Management, where real-time visibility, AI, and automation help digital workspaces run more intelligently and with less manual effort," said Gadi Feldman, Chief Product Officer, ControlUp.

Market Alignment

According to a Gartner report, "Innovation Insight for Digital Workplace Operations Automation Platforms," by 2029, 70% of enterprises will deploy agentic AI as a part of IT infrastructure operations, compared to less than 5% in 2025. ControlUp believes this market shift aligns directly with its strategy to help IT teams move from reactive troubleshooting to automated, AI-assisted operations.

One customer in the insurance industry noted: "ControlUp provides us in-depth insights into a very large environment... we can better understand user experiences and device performance without the need to export data to other tools. All of this is achieved within one tool, largely guided or automated by ControlUp."
