Our take
ControlUp simplifies the management and optimization of user experience for enterprises with a distributed workforce. By enabling IT teams to monitor and troubleshoot the performance of all devices - whether in-house or remote - it ensures seamless operations across the network.
Though ControlUp has been evolving since 2008, the company has recently seen impressive growth and is on track for Unicorn Status. High-profile clients such as Sanofi, T-Mobile, Verizon, Virgin Money, Exxon Mobil, and Next are among key customers. This surge in success has closely aligned with the rise of hybrid and remote work models, which are expected to remain prevalent in the coming years.
ControlUp's growth is further fueled by its recognition as the Leading Digital Employee Experience (DEX) solution in the 2024-25 End User Computing State of the Union Report. Praised for its time visibility and automated remediation, ControlUp is set to continue expanding as demand for comprehensive DEX solutions grows.
