Omnissa named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Desktop as a Service for the fourth consecutive year
- September 1, 2026
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – September 1, 2026 – Omnissa®, a leading AI-driven digital work platform company, today announced that it has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Desktop as a Service (DaaS). Omnissa was also ranked among the two highest scoring vendors across all five use cases in the accompanying 2026 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Desktop as a Service report.
Omnissa is the only evaluated vendor positioned as a Leader across the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Desktop as a Service, Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Management Tools, and the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Employee Experience Management Tools reports. Omnissa believes this recognition reflects the strength of its unified platform approach, enabling IT teams to support major device types and operating systems at scale, while managing digital experiences holistically.
Organizations are managing increasingly complex desktop environments across clouds and distributed workforces, while facing pressure to control costs, strengthen security and respond quickly to changing business requirements. IT teams need solutions that simplify management while giving employees secure, reliable access to the applications and desktops they count on from any location or device.
Horizon Cloud enables organizations to deploy and scale virtual desktops and applications on-premises, in public clouds like Microsoft and Amazon, or across hybrid environments, while managing them through a single cloud-based control plane. Integration across the Omnissa platform gives IT greater visibility into desktop performance and user experience, while automation helps simplify provisioning and reduce day-to-day management costs.
“The value of DaaS is increasingly about helping IT manage complexity while maintaining the flexibility their organizations require,” said Arindam Nag, vice president of product management at Omnissa. “Being named a Leader for the fourth consecutive year comes as we continue to give customers real choice across hypervisors and cloud platforms, backed by deeper intelligence and automation in Horizon Cloud. These advancements help IT simplify operations today and build towards a more autonomous digital workspace.”
The real-world impact of Omnissa Horizon is evident across industries. One large U.S. healthcare organization used Horizon Cloud to modernize its virtual desktop environment while improving the experience for clinicians and reducing the burden on IT. By automating software upgrades and extending the life of existing endpoint devices, the organization reduced hardware costs and freed IT resources, while clinicians gained more reliable access to critical applications and a better day-to-day experience.
