The 2025 Emotional Footprint Report from Info-Tech Research Group ranks leading endpoint protection providers, offering key insights from user feedback on the most effective solutions to combat cyberthreats and safeguard sensitive data.

TORONTO, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Info-Tech Research Group has published its Endpoint Protection Emotional Footprint Report, which highlights the top providers for 2025. Based on data from SoftwareReviews, a division of the global research and advisory firm and a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape, the newly published report identifies ten providers as Champions in the enterprise and mid-market categories.

Endpoint protection is crucial for organizations as it secures devices like laptops, mobile phones, and desktops from cyberthreats, safeguarding sensitive data from breaches, ransomware, and malware. With hybrid work becoming the norm, the attack surface has expanded, making endpoint protection even more essential. By using endpoint protection software, organizations benefit from real-time threat detection, compliance with industry regulations, and reduced risk of downtime due to cyber incidents. Lack of protection can lead to longer recovery times and higher costs in mitigating attacks, as well as potential legal repercussions for data breaches.

Info-Tech’s Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment. It aggregates emotional response ratings across 25 proactive questions, creating a power indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.

Data from 2,243 end-user reviews on Info-Tech’s SoftwareReviews platform was used to identify the top Endpoint Protection software providers in the firm’s 2025 Emotional Footprint Report. The insights are intended to support organizations that are considering software options to mitigate cyberattacks and threats.

Analyst Insight:
“With cyberthreats evolving faster than ever, strong endpoint protection isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity,” says Victor Okorie, advisory director at Info-Tech Research Group. “Today’s solutions go beyond basic antivirus, using AI-driven threat detection and real-time monitoring to keep businesses safe from ransomware, phishing, and other attacks. Companies that invest in smarter, more adaptive security can stay ahead of threats, reduce risk, and keep their operations running smoothly.”

Fresenius Medical Care introduces TherapyWise™ analytics for kidney replacement therapy

Cloud-based platform provides retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy delivered in acute and hospital critical care settingsAvailable within NxStage® System One™ with NxView™ 4.0, Fresenius Medical Care’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for kidney replacement therapy in the United StatesAggregates existing therapy and device data to support identification of trends related to workflow interruptions, alarm burden, and variability

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, today announced the introduction of TherapyWise™, a cloud-based analytics capability available within NxView™ 4.0, the Company’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for use with the NxStage® System One™ in the United States. TherapyWise is designed to provide retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy (KRT) delivered in acute and hospital critical care settings.

Kidney replacement therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) generates large volumes of clinical and operational data, yet trends related to therapy delivery, workflow interruptions, and alarm frequency can be difficult to assess without standardized metrics and aggregated views. TherapyWise consolidates existing data generated at the point of care and presents longitudinal summaries intended to support oversight of KRT programs across ICU units and time periods.

“Digital solutions play an increasingly important role in how critical care teams understand and manage complex therapies,” said Joe Turk, Chief Executive Officer of Care Enablement at Fresenius Medical Care. “TherapyWise reflects our continued focus on innovation in critical care by applying data analytics. This helps hospital and clinical leaders gain visibility into how kidney replacement therapy is delivered across their organizations, supporting informed discussions around workflow, consistency, and quality improvement.”

TherapyWise works by securely transmitting data from the NxStage System One with NxView to a cloud‑based platform, where information is aggregated and displayed across predefined performance indicators. These include program‑level metrics including average delivered dose compared with set dose, average treatment time per cartridge, and alarm frequency trends. The software is intended to support retrospective review and program oversight and is not designed for real‑time, patient‑specific clinical decision‑making, which remains the responsibility of attending clinicians.

TherapyWise is part of Fresenius Medical Care’s NxView 4.0 software platform and broader critical care portfolio, which combines digital infrastructure, clinical expertise, and secure data management to support hospital teams responsible for kidney replacement therapy programs.
