For decades, Linux defenders relied on a comfortable assumption: a public security patch did not imply an imminent vulnerability. While open-source openness made vulnerability fixes public to everyone on kernel.org or the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), converting a raw commit into a weaponized exploit took a significant amount of manual effort. This delay, estimated in weeks or months, gave businesses enough time to assess exposure, organize testing windows, and push changes across product...

Not content with broken Windows updates, Microsoft has disclosed two problems with Defender for Endpoint on Linux – one that could disable the security service after a reboot, and another that prevents updates on FIPS-enabled Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9. The more serious problem affected versions 101.26042.0000 through 101.26042.0009 across all supported Linux operating systems. After an upgrade or reinstall followed by a reboot, "the Defender service might be disabled on some devices," according to Microsoft. "If you use Defender for Servers (Plan 1 or 2) with Defender for Cloud and have the MDE [Microsoft Defender Endpoint] integration enabled, automatic updates for the MDE.Linux extension are enabled by default, which means your machines could have received an affected version automatically," it explained. "If an affected version was installed, the issue might impact active protection on rebooted devices until remediation steps are taken." Microsoft did not specify what caused Defender to become disabled, but anything that could knock out endpoint protection will give administrators sweaty palms. A separate problem affected RHEL 8 and 9 systems running in FIPS mode: the 101.26042.x update could fail to install, leaving devices on their previous version. FIPS refers to US Federal Information Processing Standards, which in this context impose requirements on the cryptography used by government and other regulated systems. Although Microsoft's alert did not mention an available update, its release notes direct users affected by the disabled-service bug to build 101.26042.0011. The separate FIPS installation problem is fixed in version 101.26052.0011 and later. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux protects server workloads on-premises and in the cloud. According to Microsoft, "it helps you prevent, detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats with unified visibility through the Microsoft Defender portal." Other endpoint security platforms are available, but where an organization has gone all-in with Microsoft, the unified management offered by Defender for Endpoint on Linux can be difficult to resist. Microsoft has an unfortunate habit of shipping broken updates for its flagship operating system, Windows. An update that breaks software specifically designed to protect a device takes things to another level, particularly given the relentless rise in attacks and the need to both fend them off and monitor activity. Hence the appeal of unified visibility through the Microsoft Defender portal. However, an update that could leave Defender disabled after a reboot – while also refusing to install on some security-hardened systems – is less than ideal. ®

As organizations continue to invest in hybrid work, cloud applications, digital workplace initiatives, and now generative AI tools, many IT leaders are turning to digital employee experience (DEX) platforms to better understand how technology affects employee productivity and satisfaction.

DEX tools have evolved from simple endpoint monitoring products into sophisticated platforms that combine device, application, network, and employee sentiment data with artificial intelligence to identify and resolve workplace technology issues before they disrupt employees.

Analysts say an increased focus on employee productivity, combined with advances in AI and automation, is helping drive interest in DEX platforms as organizations look for ways to improve employee experiences and business outcomes.

What is digital employee experience?

Digital employee experience refers to employees’ overall experience with the workplace technology they use every day, including their devices, applications, networks, collaboration tools, and IT support services.

When employees have a good digital experience, they can easily access the tools and information they need without technical problems getting in the way. When the experience is poor, they may deal with slow computers, application crashes, connectivity problems, and other frustrations that make it harder to get work done.

In the past, IT teams focused mainly on technical measures, such as network uptime, server availability, and system performance. While those metrics are still important, they don’t always reflect what employees are actually experiencing as they go about their daily work.

What are DEX tools?

Digital employee experience tools are designed to help organizations assess and improve how employees interact with workplace technology.

Dan Wilson, vice president analyst at Gartner, describes DEX platforms as technologies used by IT operations teams to track, measure, and improve the performance of employee devices, applications, and workloads.

“They go a step beyond traditional monitoring. They actually help you take action on the insights, so that you can solve the problem instead of just admire the problem,” Wilson says.

Christy Punch, principal analyst at Forrester Research, says DEX platforms pull together multiple sources of workplace technology data, including endpoint devices, networks, applications, and employee sentiment.

“Digital employee experience tools look across an organization’s digital workplace and pull various types of data together,” Punch says. “They provide organizations with visibility into their experiences, kind of in real time, as well as help them prioritize where they should invest resources or invest time to address certain issues.”

According to both analysts, one of the biggest differences between DEX platforms and traditional monitoring tools is their ability to capture employee feedback. Wilson calls this “contextualized sentiment,” which means gathering employee feedback about a specific technology issue when it occurs instead of relying on general workplace surveys.

How DEX tools work

Modern DEX platforms collect data from multiple sources across the digital workplace.

Most platforms begin with an agent installed on employee devices that collects information about system performance, application usage, and user activity. Additional data may come from mobile applications, browser extensions, collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, virtual desktop environments, and cloud services.

“They start by putting an agent on the device, so we get measurable and observable data as close as we can possibly get to the person so it’s monitoring those activities,” Wilson says.

DEX tools do more than simply gather data. They correlate information from multiple systems to provide a more complete picture of employee experiences.

According to Punch, DEX platforms typically analyze three categories or “dimensions” of information: technology signals, employee experience signals, and business outcomes.

Technology data comes from the devices, applications, and networks employees use every day. Employee experience data includes feedback from workers, how they use technology, and whether it helps them stay productive. Business results can include things such as customer service quality, operating costs, efficiency, and employee retention.

The real benefit comes from bringing all this information together to understand how technology affects employees and the business as a whole.

Traditionally, when a technology problem occurred, organizations often had to collect information from multiple IT teams and manually piece it together to figure out what was wrong. DEX platforms simplify that process by continuously monitoring and analyzing data in real time, helping IT teams spot problems faster and uncover issues that they might otherwise miss.

Many DEX platforms connect to other workplace technology systems, making it easier for IT teams to track down and fix problems that affect multiple parts of the IT environment.

Top trends in DEX

Several trends are shaping the DEX market as the technology continues to mature.

One of the biggest is the growing use of AI and automation in DEX tools. Vendors are increasingly using AI to analyze large amounts of workplace technology data, helping IT teams spot unusual issues, identify what may be causing them, and recommend or automate fixes before they become bigger problems.

According to Wilson, AI is transforming DEX platforms from passive monitoring tools into systems capable of predicting and resolving issues.

“Now the tool can see that there’s a problem, can predict what the problem resolution is, can automatically generate a script to fix the problem, and if allowed, could execute that on its own,” he says.

Punch says AI is helping organizations automatically fix technology issues on a larger scale and take a more proactive approach to preventing problems before they affect employees.

“It provides acceleration of much higher-level capabilities that organizations just didn’t have access to before,” she says.

Another trend is the increasing maturity of the market itself. Wilson noted that DEX has only existed as a standalone market for roughly five years, but vendors are quickly adding new features and capabilities. At the same time, the market is becoming more competitive as DEX vendors merge, acquire competitors, launch new products, and face increasing competition from larger software vendors.

In addition, customers are increasingly using DEX data for more than just monitoring IT performance. They are also using it to guide business decisions and better understand how technology affects employees and the organization as a whole.

Punch pointed to laptop replacement as one example. Rather than replacing all devices on a fixed schedule, companies can use DEX data to determine which laptops still work well and which employees should be prioritized for upgrades based on their specific needs.

Another wrinkle is that the distinction between DEX platforms and unified endpoint management (UEM) tools is becoming less clear. Many endpoint management vendors are adding DEX features, while DEX vendors are expanding their platforms to handle more workplace technology management functions.

Features to look for in DEX software

While DEX platforms vary from vendor to vendor, a few capabilities stand out as must-haves. One of the most important is visibility across the entire digital workplace.

A DEX platform should be able to pull together data from employees’ devices, applications, networks, and other technology systems to give IT teams a clear picture of how technology is performing and how employees are experiencing it.

Second is data correlation and analytics. Simply collecting data is not enough. Organizations need platforms that can connect information across previously isolated systems and identify meaningful patterns, according to Punch.

Third is automation. Organizations increasingly expect DEX platforms to not only identify issues but also help resolve them through automated workflows and remediation capabilities.

Additional features can include support for Windows and Mac computers, monitoring of web browsers and virtual desktop environments, visibility into collaboration and communication tools, mobile device support, and AI-driven analytics that help IT teams identify and address issues more quickly.

Wilson advises organizations to focus on their specific needs rather than long feature lists. He recommends identifying the most important requirements first and then evaluating vendors based on those priorities.

Consulting with internal stakeholders

Before comparing vendors, organizations should first identify their own challenges and determine what they hope to achieve with a DEX platform.

Many IT leaders make the mistake of focusing only on IT needs and requirements without considering the needs of other groups in the organization that could be affected by a DEX deployment, according to Wilson. He recommends involving HR, communications, legal, compliance, and business leaders early in the evaluation process.

Organizations should begin by identifying their biggest employee experience challenges, Wilson says. For example, are employees having trouble getting work done because of inefficient processes, a difficult onboarding experience, or technology that is slow, complicated, or frustrating to use? Understanding those issues helps define what success looks like for a DEX initiative.

Getting input from different stakeholders is especially important because DEX platforms collect a large amount of data about employees’ technology use and experiences. Legal and compliance teams can help ensure that the organization addresses privacy concerns, follows data governance policies, and meets regulatory requirements.

Punch recommends speaking with executives as well as operational leaders to understand broader business priorities. IT should ask: “What are the employee experiences that matter most for the business?” and “What are the business outcomes that are most important?”

IT teams should also take a close look at their own operations. Examining things such as support costs, recurring technology problems, inefficient processes, and frequent employee complaints can help identify where a DEX platform could provide the most value and deliver the greatest improvements.

Evaluating DEX platforms and vendors

Once organizations have identified their goals, they should evaluate vendors based on both the platforms’ technical capabilities and how well those platforms fit their operations and business needs.

Wilson recommends that organizations start with a proof-of-concept or proof-of-value deployment in their own environment. “Many vendors are phenomenal at giving you a pie-in-the-sky, clean, perfect-world environment where everything looks phenomenal,” he says.

Testing the platform in a real-world environment allows organizations to see how well it works with their existing systems, security tools, and day-to-day processes.

Buyers should also evaluate data privacy and compliance capabilities. Important considerations may include data anonymization, GDPR support, and data residency options.

Integration capabilities are another key area. Organizations should determine how well a DEX platform works with their existing IT service management systems, collaboration platforms, and other workplace technologies.

Punch advises buyers to explore vendors’ AI and automation capabilities in detail, including available controls and governance mechanisms. “What types of checks and balances are available around those types of capabilities?” she says.

Organizations should also look at the vendor’s support, implementation assistance, customer success programs, and training resources. These services can play a major role in how quickly employees adopt the platform and how soon the organization begins seeing benefits from its investment.

Key considerations when choosing a DEX platform

Choosing the right DEX platform is ultimately about finding a solution that supports the organization’s business goals, not just its technical requirements.

Companies should not think of DEX as just another tool for monitoring technology. The greatest benefit comes from using it to make workplace technology easier for employees to use, reduce common technology frustrations, and help improve productivity, efficiency, and overall business performance.

Before investing in a DEX platform, buyers should realistically assess how advanced their digital workplace and IT operations are. Wilson says companies that are earlier in their journeys may start by using DEX for monitoring and basic automation, while more mature organizations may be ready to take advantage of advanced features such as predictive analytics, AI-driven insights, and automated problem resolution.

Each business should also think about how a DEX platform fits into its overall workplace technology strategy. As DEX and endpoint management tools become more closely connected, companies need to decide whether a standalone DEX platform or a more integrated solution is the better fit for their long-term needs and goals.
