Tanium has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Client Endpoint Management Software for Windows Device Management 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment for the second consecutive time, highlighting its Autonomous IT Platform’s ability to unify endpoint management, exposure management, and security operations for Windows environments.
Windows remains the dominant operating system in global enterprises, but increasing device diversity, complexity, and cyber threats demand endpoint management solutions that deliver speed, scale, and security without added overhead. Tanium’s Autonomous IT Platform addresses these needs by converging IT operations and security in a single, real-time intelligent system.
Tanium provides a comprehensive experience for managing Windows devices, spanning PCs, servers, and IoT endpoints. By leveraging real-time endpoint intelligence, the platform enables advanced automation, precise exposure management, and integrated security operations. This unified approach reduces complexity, minimizes tool sprawl, and supports consistent compliance and resilience across diverse Windows environments.
The IDC MarketScape notes that Tanium bridges gaps in native Microsoft tools such as Intune and Configuration Manager, particularly in areas like endpoint performance monitoring, detailed compliance reporting, and automation at enterprise scale. Deep integrations with Microsoft ecosystems allow organizations to enhance existing investments while gaining capabilities not fully addressed by native solutions.
Tanium’s innovations—such as Tanium Ask for agentic workflow automation, Confidence Score for progressive, low-risk rollouts, and Adaptive Actions for scalable patching—exemplify the shift toward Autonomous IT. This convergence of IT and security operations, powered by AI and real-time data, enables teams to respond faster, reduce costs, and maintain resilience in the face of intensifying cyber threats.
“With the unprecedented pace and intensity of cyber risk, managing and securing Windows environments at speed and scale has never been more critical,” said Matt Quinn, chief technology officer at Tanium. “We believe the IDC MarketScape’s recognition underscores the importance of Autonomous IT – bringing IT and security operations together in a single, unified platform with AI and real-time endpoint intelligence to reduce complexity and costs while strengthening operational resilience.”
“Windows continues to dominate as the leading operating system across global enterprises despite ever-increasing device diversity. In turn, secure endpoint management with speed and scale for Windows environments is crucial, especially as they increase in complexity,” said Phil Hochmuth, research vice president, Endpoint Device Management and Enterprise Mobility at IDC. “Tanium’s unified platform continues to set the pace for innovation in the market, delivering advanced automation and deep integration with Microsoft’s ecosystem – based on real-time endpoint intelligence. Organizations can turn to Tanium to maintain operational resilience, consistent security and compliance.”
