LANDesk Software Recognized as a Client Management Suites Leader by Independent Research Firm
LANDesk Enterprise Suite ‘is ideal for’ distributed enterprises
LANDesk Software, a leading IT service management solutions provider, announced August-31 its LANDesk® Enterprise Suite was selected as a leading solution in the July 2007 report, The Forrester Wave: Client Management Suites, Q3 ’07. The report states, LANDesk “is an especially good fit for enterprises with multiple offices and remote workers.”
“One of the biggest challenges for today’s IT operations group is the management of an increasingly distributed and heterogeneous environment,” writes Natalie Lambert, senior analyst at Forrester Research. “LANDesk offers one of the strongest offerings, with full management and security functionality,” notes Ms. Lambert.
“This unified solution gives administrators the ability to create policies and reports across both tool sets and realize the benefits of a single solution.” The report adds, “LANDesk Enterprise Suite ties for the top capabilities in the area of reporting. The product ships with 163 pre-built reports, which can be customized and exported into a variety of formats. However, it is the real-time reporting capabilities that give users the most value, as they can see the current status of the systems in their environment.”
“For the past 3 years, LANDesk has been the only company in the Forrester Wave study that has had a singular focus on developing systems and security management software,” said Steve Daly, general manager of LANDesk. “Today, we are charting a course that is unique in the industry—one that will help usher in a new era of manageability.
“We are combining our experience with the expertise of Avocent to develop new solutions that aren’t available in the market today. We believe this leadership vision, singular focus, and strong product offering best positions LANDesk for growth and expansion in the medium and large enterprise market” said Daly.
The Forrester Wave study compares participating vendors’ solutions against a comprehensive set of approximately 98 evaluation criteria across three main categories: the current product offering, vendor strategy, and market presence.
