Ivanti

What Ivanti does

Ivanti is a private, PE-backed enterprise software company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, that provides unified endpoint management (UEM) solutions to IT departments of large organizations. The company's platform combines endpoint security, application control, desktop personalization, workspace management, and performance optimization capabilities, enabling customers to secure and manage millions of endpoints across distributed enterprise environments. Ivanti's product portfolio was assembled through a series of consolidations — beginning with AppSense (founded 1999, originally based in Daresbury, UK), its acquisition by LANDESK in April 2016, and the subsequent formation of Ivanti in January 2017 when Clearlake Capital acquired LANDESK and established Ivanti as the holding entity. The company operates its cloud-based Ivanti Neurons platform alongside the legacy AppSense suite (Application Control, Environment Manager, DesktopNow, Performance Manager), serving enterprise IT customers across the Americas, EMEA, and the Asia Pacific Japan region.

Ivanti generates revenue primarily through software licensing and subscription arrangements, consistent with a recurring enterprise SaaS and on-premises license model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through a consultative enterprise sales motion, with prospects initiating engagement via a 'Request a Demo' call-to-action. The company runs a direct field sales organization with regional leadership coverage including SVP Sales Americas and VP/GM EMEA, targeting enterprise buyers with complex IT environments requiring standardized endpoint management at scale. The customer base is described as 'thousands of customers' managing 'millions of endpoints,' though specific customer logos are not disclosed in the source material.

Operationally, Ivanti maintains offices in Sunnyvale, California (headquarters and Technology/Development center), Daresbury, UK (the original AppSense headquarters), and New York City (legacy US office). The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people globally. Ivanti is a portfolio company of Clearlake Capital, a private equity firm, and shows evidence of continued investment in geographic expansion — most notably the August 2024 launch of a new Japan data center to support APJ growth for the Ivanti Neurons platform. The company's go-to-market emphasizes community engagement through the Ivanti Community forums alongside traditional direct enterprise sales, with self-service support resources serving as a post-sale retention mechanism.
