Flexxible is a software company founded in 2008 in Barcelona, with a presence in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and Brazil, specializing in digital workplace management and automation. Its solutions let companies manage devices, support, security, and digital employee experience from a single, centralized platform. Flexxible’s technology is currently deployed on close to one million devices worldwide.
There is a mismatch in modern enterprise estates.
With departments and teams spread across physical and virtual endpoints and multiple locations, IT is struggling to keep up with fragmented tooling. One console watches PC terminals and laptops, another keeps tabs on virtual sessions – the only time anyone sees any correlation between the two is on a spreadsheet, if at all.
When an employee raises a support ticket for a lagging video call, for example, the team must scramble to find out which estate the issue is coming from before they can even think about diagnosing the cause.
This is the gap the best digital employee experience platforms are meant to close. Built to unify visibility across a large enterprise workforce, they offer advanced capabilities, including self-healing automation so that they can resolve issues before staff even notice them.
Below are five platforms that are leading the field in this important area of digital workplace management.
1. Flexxible
Flexxible brings physical and virtual workspaces into one place with its focus on hardware and software observability and proactive automation from a single console.
Its automated self-healing often detects and resolves common incidents before anyone realizes there is a problem, whether on a desktop or in a data center. This advanced capability has led customers to report up to 80% reductions in helpdesk resolution times and 19% of tickets closed automatically.
Flexxible’s license includes deployment and automation services instead of expensive add-ons, which is an advantage for teams without in-house DEX expertise. It also comes with European data residency integrated into its architecture.
Recognized in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant
for both DEX and Desktop as a Service (DaaS), it’s built for organizations that want to move beyond reactive IT and start preventing issues before they disrupt employees’ workflows.
for both DEX and Desktop as a Service (DaaS), it’s built for organizations that want to move beyond reactive IT and start preventing issues before they disrupt employees’ workflows.Best fit: Organizations that need to bring physical and virtual estates together into a single pane of glass to help minimize downtime and maximize employee productivity.
2. ControlUp ONE
ControlUP built its reputation in the VDI and DaaS worlds and has now expanded into physical endpoints and SaaS applications via its ONE solution.
It has been able to deliver real-time performance metrics across these new areas and uses AI to administer self-healing quickly after an issue is detected.
One thing to note, however, is that organizations that lean on more physical estates may need more time to integrate before they acquire this cross-platform visibility, as ControlUp is still strongest in EUC and virtualization.
Best fit: Companies with an equal balance between physical and virtual estates are keen to make use of AI-powered analysis and patching.
3. Omnissa Workspace ONE
Omnissa has integrated DEX capabilities into its wider platform well, so organizations can combine unified endpoint management with Freestyle Orchestrator to support their digital estate at scale.
The downside is that this only tends to work well for companies already working with the Omnissa stack, which has meant its DEX offering has also flown under the radar for some buyers.
Best fit: Organizations already invested in Workspace ONE or Horizon that want to extend their existing environment with integrated DEX capabilities.
4. Nexthink Infinity
Nexthink combines endpoint telemetry with employee sentiment data, helping IT teams understand how technology is affecting users across global environments.
The trade-offs are cost, complexity, and virtualization maturity. VDI Experience is a relatively recent addition to a platform originally built around physical endpoint analytics, while the full platform is priced above many competitors. Its extensive feature set also requires dedicated expertise, meaning many organizations only use a portion of what they license.
Best fit: Large, distributed enterprises that need detailed behavioral analytics and experience scoring.
5. Riverbed Aternity
Alongside endpoint visibility, Riverbed Aternity monitors mobile devices, networks, infrastructure, and applications, while OpenTelemetry support makes it easier to connect DEX with wider IT operations.
The main trade-off is positioning. Riverbed serves several adjacent markets, so buyers focused purely on DEX may overlook the platform during evaluations. Pricing also sits towards the higher end of the market.
Best fit: Organizations that want DEX as part of a broader observability strategy.
The selection question
The right platform depends on where an organization’s estate actually sits. A VDI-dominant environment or a genuinely balanced hybrid estate will each reward a different choice, and the cost of choosing on brand recognition alone is usually discovered eighteen months later, in the correlation work nobody budgeted for.
For those who seek to manage hybrid estates at scale, Flexxible offers the shortest route to a single population: one console, automation that closes incidents unprompted, and the services to get there included.
