N‑able is recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Management Tools
We’re proud to share that N‑able™ has been recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Management Tools. We feel recognition like this validates our commitment to building N‑central as a secure, autonomous endpoint management platform designed to operate at scale.
More importantly, it highlights for us the real-world impact N‑able is delivering for hundreds of thousands of businesses— helping them autonomously manage and secure endpoints, minimize the attack surface, and drive efficient, resilient operations.
Built for Real-World Challenges
The IT landscape is evolving faster than ever. Endpoints span cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, support work-from-anywhere models, and exist within increasingly complex networks, elevating risk and unpredictability. At the same time, threat actors are more sophisticated, tool sprawl is growing, talent is scarce, and the lines between IT operations and security operations are rapidly converging. In this environment, our purpose-built solution enables organizations to achieve a strong security posture without inflating budgets – delivering the safety and efficiency they need.
Managing endpoints today requires more than simplicity. It demands resilience, scale, and intelligence.
We designed N‑central by listening closely to small and mid-market customers who face these challenges every day. Hyper-simplified endpoint tools often fall short when it comes to delivering security and operational outcomes at scale. That’s why N‑central continuously discovers, secures, automates, and optimizes every endpoint across its lifecycle, because risk grows as endpoints evolve.
With always-on visibility, lifecycle-wide security, and deep automation at its core, N‑central helps reduce attack surfaces, streamline operations, and enforce security standards consistently at scale. Embedded AI, autonomous remediation, real-time insights, built-in vulnerability management, and automated patching work together to create a more resilient and secure endpoint environment without adding complexity.
We’re grateful that N‑central has been recognized for delivering secure and autonomous endpoint management. It’s clear to us, this approach is why N‑central continues to stand out for businesses everywhere. It’s purpose-built to consolidate more tools, deliver real-time visibility and control, put security at the center, and drive efficiency through automation, helping MSPs and IT teams not just keep up with change, but confidently stay ahead of it.
What sets us apart
N‑central isn’t designed to be just an endpoint management tool. It’s a powerful solution built for resilience, automation, and scale. The evidence of that is clear. It has earned recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. And customers have told us N‑central excels at:
Driving business resilience through automation
Automation is built into every layer of N‑central, with over 100 prebuilt service templates and 700+ workflow elements enabling automation across the device lifecycle—onboarding, optimization, and vulnerability management—without heavy scripting. N‑central amplifies your team’s capabilities, drives standards, and delivers measurable operational efficiency.
Minimizing attack surfaces with unified visibility
N‑central unifies IT and security operations, reducing costs while harmonizing processes. It provides real-time insight into devices and critical assets, automatically enforces security and performance standards, and intelligently alerts teams to failures, helping maintain business continuity.
Delivering answers, guidance, and insights through AI that understands their business
N‑central’s AI innovation enables customers to leverage endpoint data for performance insights, risk indicators, and troubleshooting. Building on its AI-assisted scripting and an AI-powered developer portal, the new AI assistant, Ask-N-zo, goes beyond basic chatbot functionality. N‑able’s responsible AI architecture will support rapid development of new AI experts, integrate with open ecosystem partners via GraphQL, and set industry standards through leadership by having founded the Consortium for AI Terminology for MSPs & IT professionals (CAT-MIP.org). While also allowing customers to leverage the latest technology like GraphQL, to build and integrate their own AI coworkers.
With N‑able, endpoints become your first line of defense—secure, performant, and ready for what’s next.
Looking ahead
N‑central will continue to innovate, strengthening its customers‘ business resilience through investments in endpoint management, security, and compliance. Our goal is to deliver frictionless experiences that help customers grow with confidence, knowing their devices, assets, users, and data are secure and performant.
Future enhancements will focus on autonomous endpoint security, deeper risk insights, and AI-driven efficiency, helping technicians work smarter and ensure their business remains resilient.
