Managing devices across multiple companies or sub-organizations often becomes a logistical and technical challenge for IT teams. Traditional device filtering methods may fall short, particularly in environments where precision and scalability are critical. That’s where the new Dynamic Endpoint Filtering feature of our Plentics Suite steps in, providing a flexible, efficient, and scalable solution for modern endpoint management.

This functionality is designed to address the needs of organizations of all sizes, from multinational corporations with tens of thousands of users under a single tenant to smaller companies and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). By enabling precise filtering, it ensures streamlined endpoint management across diverse environments and operational structures.

What is Dynamic Endpoint Filtering?

Dynamic Endpoint Filtering introduces a powerful way to manage devices using a Device Category Filter or Group Filter. By implementing sub-tenant logic, this Plentics Suite feature enables precise control over devices within a single tenant, making it easier to:

  • Filter and manage devices across multiple companies.
  • Isolate specific devices for targeted management and deployment.

Use Cases

Centralized Management for Multi-Company Environments

An MSP managing multiple subsidiary companies can create separate Device Category Filters for each company, ensuring relevant applications and updates reach the right endpoints—all while using a single tenant.

Ensuring Compliance in Regulated Industries

A healthcare organization can use Group Filters to isolate clinical devices, applying compliance-specific configurations without affecting other endpoints, enhancing security and compliance.

Simplified Device Rollout for New Projects

A manufacturing company introducing a new production line can swiftly configure and deploy updates to the “Production Devices” category without disrupting other operations.

Ensuring Compliance Across Jurisdictions

Dynamic Endpoint Filtering in Plentics Suite enables organizations to meet local compliance requirements, such as managing IT operations with local resources or adhering to data residency laws. It allows multinational corporations to delegate IT responsibilities regionally, ensuring compliance while maintaining efficiency. For example, Finnish operations could be handled by a local provider, while other regions are managed by separate entities.

Key Benefits of Dynamic Endpoint Filtering

  • Increased Efficiency: Manage devices from a single tenant with granular control.
  • Enhanced Security: Isolate and manage devices based on specific criteria.
  • Cost Savings: Streamline IT operations and reduce manual oversight.
  • Scalability: Adapt to growing organizational needs with ease.
