“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.”

According to the IDC MarketScape report, “Tanium offers the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform as its solution, bringing together endpoint management, exposure management and security operations capabilities in one platform. Tanium delivers a unified endpoint management experience for enterprises managing Windows devices, spanning Windows 10/11 PCs, Windows Server and Windows IoT endpoints.”

We believe the IDC MarketScape findings echo broader market momentum towards Autonomous IT, as organizations work to reduce tool sprawl, eliminate visibility gaps and strengthen resilience by converging IT and security operations. Tanium is at the forefront of this shift with innovations such as Tanium Ask, that automates configuration and remediation workflows with an agentic experience; Tanium Confidence Score that guides safe, progressive rollouts; and Adaptive Actions that automates patching and configuration at scale. Through its Autonomous IT Platform with Microsoft integrations, Tanium enables organizations to strengthen resilience for Windows environments and across their diverse IT landscape.

The report also notes, “Tanium’s platform complements Windows ecosystems by bridging gaps in endpoint performance monitoring, compliance reporting and automation that are not fully addressed by native Microsoft tools like Intune or Configuration Manager.”

“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.”
