Endpoint Analytics
Understanding the Concept
Endpoint Analytics provides insights into device performance and user experience. It measures boot performance (startup times), application reliability (crash data), and proactive remediations effectiveness. Scores help identify devices that need attention.
Startup Performance: tracks device boot times broken down into BIOS time, Windows update time, sign-in time, and Group Policy processing time. Devices are scored relative to a baseline, helping identify devices with slow startup that impact productivity.
Application Reliability: monitors app crash frequency and hang data. Reports show which applications are most problematic and which devices are affected. This data helps prioritize app updates and compatibility testing.
Key Points
- Endpoint Analytics: device performance and user experience insights
- Startup Performance: boot time breakdown and scoring
- Application Reliability: crash frequency and problematic apps
- Proactive Remediations: automated detection and fix tracking
- Device scores benchmarked against organizational baselines
- Work from Anywhere score: readiness assessment for modern management
Why This Matters in Real Organizations
Endpoint Analytics transforms reactive IT support into proactive device management. By identifying performance issues before users report them, IT teams can fix problems at scale and improve overall user satisfaction.
