Are we moving from UEM to something of an autonomous nature?Solved

It’s more than just better automation. The way we interact with these systems is starting to change. 

Right now, everything is still command-based. We decide what needs to be pushed, when it should happen, and how to fix things when they break. What’s coming next flips that model. Instead of telling the system exactly what to do, we define what outcome we care about, and it handles the rest. 

For instance, instead of pushing a config for Zoom, you’d just say you want it running reliably across devices, and the system keeps it that way. 

Here too..you can already see hints of that with Hexnode’s Genie AI. It’s not just dashboards and logs anymore..you’re asking questions, getting context, even triggering fixes from a conversation. 

But that still depends on someone stepping in. The real shift is when that step disappears and the system starts acting on its own. 

Exactly. And the biggest change is where decisions happen. 

Today, everything flows through the server. It detects something, decides what to do, and then the device executes. That loop introduces delay, even if it’s small. 

What’s coming next pushes that logic to the device itself. It detects, decides, and fixes locally. No round-trip, no waiting. That’s how you get remediation times down to almost nothing. 

That’s where it stops behaving like traditional UEM. Instead of treating every deviation as a problem, it tries to understand the change. If someone tweaks something and it actually improves performance without introducing risk, there’s no reason to roll it back. In fact, the system can learn from it. 

So instead of enforcing a fixed baseline, you end up with something that evolves based on what’s working in the real world.
