Best forEnterprises unifying analytics, data engineering and AI on one governed lakehouse instead of separate warehouses and ML stacks; Data and AI teams building production AI agents and GenAI applications grounded in their own enterprise data; Organisations that want open formats such as Delta Lake to avoid proprietary lock-in; Companies already standardised on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud that need a multicloud data platformFleets of shared, frontline, rugged or BYOD devices across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Wear OS and VR; Operations that need identity-aware Zero Trust access (SureIdP, SureAccess) rather than blanket VPN access; IT teams consolidating MDM, kiosk mode, IoT and peripheral management into one console; MSPs and resellers delivering managed device services via SureMDM Hub; Mid-market and enterprise buyers who want volume, no-minimum licensing rather than rigid seat tiers
Not forSmall teams looking for a low-cost, turnkey BI tool with a predictable fixed price; Businesses without cloud data engineering or data science skills to run a lakehouse; Buyers who want a hands-off SaaS product with no cloud infrastructure to manage; Departments that only need simple spreadsheet-style reportingKnowledge-worker Mac/Windows fleets already standardised on Microsoft Intune or Jamf; Buyers who require published self-serve list pricing and instant self-signup; Companies that need native Salesforce, Snowflake or data-cloud integrations; Organisations that require a public FedRAMP authorisation
