The end of an era: Ivanti DSM goes, new opportunities come
With the announcement of Ivanti’s “End of Life” for DSM on December 31, 2026, many companies are facing a decisive turning point. The end of support not only means the end of updates and further development, but also represents a significant challenge for IT security.
It is therefore essential to consider alternatives in good time and develop a suitable migration strategy.
The search for the best DSM alternative
The question of the “best” alternative to DSM cannot be answered in general terms. DSM particularly shone in areas such as operating system installation, software distribution and patch management. The optimal successor solution depends heavily on individual needs, including factors such as license management, service management, helpdesk and defender management.
Our team at IDERI is ready to support you in this search. We offer individual advice and expertise to help you find the ideal solution for your specific requirements and infrastructure. Don’t hesitate to arrange a no-obligation initial consultation to make your migration smooth, secure and fast.
