Venn vs. UEM

Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) was built for managing devices – Venn was built for managing work. While UEM solutions like Intune take over the entire device, Venn isolates and protects (only) work data and apps on a user’s PC or Mac. No full device management.

UEM Takes Over the Entire Device. Venn Just Secures What Matters

Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) was designed for a work landscape where IT controlled every device. But in the era of remote work and BYOD, employees expect to use their personal devices without giving IT full control – in fact, they demand it.. UEM requires intrusive agents, complex configurations, and often creates privacy concerns that lead to pushback and workarounds.

Venn offers a better way. Instead of managing the entire device, Venn creates a Secure Enclave on only a portion of a BYOD computer, isolating and protecting company data and applications – while leaving the rest of the device private and untouched. IT gets the security and compliance they need, and employees maintain their personal privacy.

How Venn Differs From UEM Solutions

Venn is Both IT and User-Friendly. UEM is Not.

UEM
Venn logo
UEM Requires Full Device Enrollment
X Icon
UEM solutions give IT control over the entire device, including the ability to monitor, restrict, or remotely wipe personal data. This leads to employee pushback and raises serious privacy concerns.
Check Icon
Venn never touches personal apps, data, or usage. Only work activity inside the Secure Enclave is controlled – ensuring full privacy for end-users.
Complex Enrollment and Management
X Icon
UEM requires device enrollment, configuration profiles, and constant monitoring. It’s time-consuming and costly for IT.
Check Icon
Venn deploys in minutes, with no device enrollment or invasive controls – simplifying BYOD security without the complexity.
Risky Compliance Gaps on BYOD
X Icon
If users decline UEM enrollment or find ways to bypass policies, corporate data is left vulnerable.
Check Icon
Venn enforces strict data isolation and protection at the application layer. Only work apps and data are controlled inside the Secure Enclave – ensuring focused and consistent security and compliance.
