The Forrester Wave™: A deep dive
Vendors are categorized as Leaders, Strong Performers, Contenders, or Challengers based on their performance in these areas. The published report serves as a guide for buyers considering their purchasing options in a technology marketplace.
In the 2023 UEM report, Forrester recommended that organizations choose a UEM vendor that:

Data ingestion to drive automation will prove the most significant competitive differentiator for UEM providers over the next few years.
- Help drive the convergence of IT and security operations.
