The Floor Report:
Endpoint Privilege Management

An independent reading of the EPM field at the moment a platform vendor turned the category into a line item. Everyone is ranked by what they clear above the bundle — the free floor every shortlist now starts from.

The Floor

From 1 July 2026, Endpoint Privilege Management ships inside Microsoft 365 E5. The category's floor is now free for most of the enterprise. Everything in this report is positioned relative to that floor — a vendor's right to win is no longer "do you do EPM," it is "what do you do that the bundle cannot."

The Standings

Ranked by the axis that matters to you

Pick a measure and the field re-ranks. Each bar is how far a vendor rises above the Microsoft bundle — the floor, set at zero. Execution across the estate is the telling one: it takes raw market reach and discounts it by how much Windows, Mac, Linux and server a vendor actually covers. The bundle leads on distribution but is Windows-led, so once the whole estate counts, the cross-platform specialists pull clear of the floor.

Every score is the points a vendor clears above the bundle on the selected measure. The bundle is the floor — zero. Nobody sits below it; if Microsoft gives it away, that capability is worth nothing as a paid product. Darker bars clear the floor by more.
