Niche Player: Matrix42

The Matrix42 Secure UEM (SUEM) product excels at supporting basic endpoint management and security use cases. The company invests in capabilities to inventory, manage and patch devices, along with boosting IT asset and service management tools and behavioral policy enforcement.

The Germany-based company, whose clients are mostly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, ranks last in both execution and vision on Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Unified Endpoint Management Tools.

Strength: Matrix42’s workspace platform is built on an extensible, low-code workflow platform that leverages a centralized configuration management database for SUEM and other workloads, and allows customers to tailor the solution to their needs.

Weakness: Gartner said the company lacks brand awareness and growth outside of its region. Matrix42 also requires third-party tools to complete its zero-trust and remote-access capabilities.
