Many enterprises choose to move only a subset of devices to a cloud-managed solution, for example: devices of roaming users or employees who may become part of another company as a result of a merger or acquisition – these devices can be easily managed via a SaaS solution. Migration often involves major workflow changes, adoption barriers, and other technical and non-technical challenges. While enterprises seek to move their management to a SaaS based offering, large enterprises may need time to plan and execute such a move. Gartner predicts that various forms of cloud computing are among the areas where most CIOs will increase investments in 2020. According to the 2018 IDG Cloud Computing study, 73% percent of organizations have at least some portion of their infrastructure already in the cloud, and within 18 months, the number of environments that are non-cloud will decrease from 53% to 31%. These organizations are moving to SaaS-based offerings for managing the security posture of their environment.


The number of customers adopting a cloud-first strategy is growing, with a large percentage of organizations looking to reduce the cost of maintaining an on-prem management infrastructure.
