### "Best tool in the market "

March 25, 2026

5.0

What I liked most about ManageEngine Endpoint Central is its all-in-one approach to endpoint management. It makes tasks like patching, software deployment, and remote troubleshooting simple and centralized. The automation features save a lot of time by handling routine updates efficiently. I also found the remote access tool fast and reliable for supporting users. Overall, it improves productivity while keeping systems secure and well-managed.

Cons

OS deployment its little difficulty to understand and difficult to maintain it. Need some help with it to use it properly

### "All-in-One Solution for Endpoint Management and Compliance"

January 13, 2026

5.0

My experience with ManageEngine Endpoint Central has been positive and practical, especially for organizations looking for a cost-effective and feature-rich Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution. It offers a comprehensive set of tools for patch management, software deployment, remote troubleshooting, and security compliance—all from a single console.

Pros

It provides a single console to manage desktops, laptops and servers, reduces complexity and improves visibility across the entire IT environment.

Cons

Built-in reports are useful but can lack customization. While there is a cloud version, it’s not as fully featured or seamless as some competitors like Intune.

Experience has been okay so far looking forward to seeing more features improved and fine tuned eg. the ability to create a report and filter using an IP Range or a Dynamic Custom Group

Pros

Love the ready built dashboards as it gives you an informative view of your environment at a glance.

Cons

The Fact that i have to click through different tabs to find features that i would want to use and also that some features do not correspond to what it actually does.

### "Powerful Tool"

June 23, 2025

5.0

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a powerful, all-in-one platform for endpoint management. It offers multiple features including asset discovery (hardware/software), automated patching, OS deployment, security management, and mobile device management (MDM)—all from a single, centralized console.

Pros

One of its standout features is its robust discovery capability, which allows seamless detection of assets with detailed user login history —particularly valuable for real-time inventory tracking. This visibility eases asset reconciliation and provides deeper insights into hardware and software usage —Helping to streamline and optimize IT budget utilization and plan for future needs.

Cons

The all-in-one setup offers great value, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming Given the diverse user base—from IT technical teams (such as End-User Support, and Operations) to IT business stakeholders (like Asset Managers and Operations Managers)—tailored workshop sessions could ensure that each group maximizes the tool's capabilities according to their specific needs and streamline IT

### "\[sensitive content hidden\] is a Rockstar"

March 12, 2026

5.0

I think support is the weakest link with ManageEngine but \[sensitive content hidden\] was the absolute best tech we have had by far.

Pros

\[sensitive content hidden\] was more than helpful - he went above and beyond to help sort out or mess with ME. 10 out of 10.

Cons

Support has been hit or miss with other techs. Your character needs to go for these reviews. 3 stars

### "Endpoint Central"

December 31, 2025

5.0

A tool with an intuitive interface, easy to operate, and helpful in other areas. It has many modules and integrates easily with other solutions from the Management Engine.

Pros

The tool's practicality, helping and facilitating daily activities. In addition to helping with various aspects of daily life

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to understand why certain actions aren't performed. Sometimes it's necessary to access the server/agent logs because the console doesn't provide a clear explanation.

### "Solid Endpoint Management Tool with Great Value"

November 12, 2025

5.0

Overall, I’m happy with ManageEngine Endpoint Central. It’s a reliable and affordable solution that’s made managing a large number of endpoints much more efficient. It gets the job done.

Pros

What I like most about ManageEngine Endpoint Central is how much it simplifies device and patch management. The automation tools make routine IT tasks much easier from pushing updates to monitoring endpoints, everything feels streamlined. The interface shows a ton of useful information in one place, and I really appreciate how well it handles Windows and macOS devices side by side, even though I mostly use it for Windows. The remote troubleshooting tools and software deployment features enhance productivity.

Cons

The main downside is that the UI feels a bit dated, and there’s a noticeable learning curve during the initial setup. It takes time to understand how all the modules connect, especially for first-time users. I sometimes get confused by the layout and have a hard time revisiting steps that I did maybe a week or two ago.

Pros

ManageEngine is a very intuitive and highly valuable tool for our organization, helping us improve IT management, increase operational efficiency, and streamline daily processes across teams.

here is nothing negative to declare against ManageEngine. The tool meets our expectations and performs reliably, supporting our operational and management needs effectively.

### "Endpoint Central"

March 6, 2026

I enjoy it, a whole lot. It has made patching my devices so much easier and allowed us to move away from on prem legacy patch management processes.

Pros

I like that I am able able to patch, manage and access my devices from almost anywhere my Endpoint Central is accessible.

Cons

Sometimes the agent connection requires a few tries. Only sometimes, usually a sign of the target PC already acting up.

### "ManageEngine Endpoint Central Review"

November 11, 2025

5.0

Overall, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a powerful, feature-rich, and cost-effective Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution; with the perpetual license, it helps reduce license costs.

Pros

I appreciate having a dashboard where I can manage all my devices and ensure that all software is up-to-date, automatically scanning for patches, maintaining all software updates, and receiving good local support.

Cons

The endpoint agent can occasionally lose contact with the server, requiring manual intervention, but this also expected, as there is no tamper-proof controls, especially when there are disruptions from end users.

### "ManageEngine Endpoint Central"

July 29, 2025

5.0

Overall endpoint enables us to make sound decisions with our endpoints based on the in-depth hardware and software visibility, in addition to the Active Directory integration.

Pros

The initial reason for the product purchase in 2020 was the remote access feature via the LAN network, as opposed to a cloud-based remote desktop solution. Additionally, Endpoint offers many more features than a standard remote desktop. Currently, the automated patch management is our favorite feature, and the ability to receive software and hardware information from the endpoints is a significant advantage. There are many more features that the solution provides, which we are exploring further to maximize its effectiveness.

Cons

Based on our internal choice to remain with the on-premises solution, the upgrade process sometimes encounters issues. However, this is always resolved by the support team.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central has significantly enhanced our endpoint management capabilities by providing a comprehensive, user-friendly platform. It streamlines the administration, monitoring, and maintenance of endpoints across geographically distributed locations, enabling our IT team to manage devices more efficiently and ensure consistent security and compliance standards organization-wide.

Pros

Patch Management and MDM. Best to use it for patch management as it has unique features and even the MDM solution contains many features as compared to other MDMs.

Cons

No cons, a little confusing interface having a lot of tabs and options. Not standard or clear directions.

Happy with the product. I feel its better than the product we replaced it with. We are able to quickly and efficiently removing high risk software and have the ability to upgrade older versions of software to the latest version without issue

Pros

The ability to work on premise with both on and off domain servers. Highly effective in finding risk software installed and CVE's which are of a concern to security of our infrastructure

Cons

So far I have not found anything I dislike. We have been able to overcome all our current issues we have seen and are extremely happy with the product

### "All-in-One Endpoint Management That Just Works"

June 10, 2025

5.0

It’s been a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution for managing endpoints across multiple sites. We’ve seen noticeable improvements in patch compliance, reduced downtime, and smoother onboarding of new devices. Once set up, it really empowers our small IT team to operate like a large one.

Pros

The unified console is a game changer. I love how patching, software deployment, asset tracking, and remote troubleshooting are all integrated. It saves us a ton of time and gives full visibility over every device in our environment—on-prem or remote.

Cons

Some features like reporting and third-party patching require a bit of a learning curve or deeper customization to get the most out of them.

### "Organizations wanting to consolidate tools to save on licensing costs."

February 25, 2026

4.0

"Managing a fleet of over 1,000 mixed-OS devices used to be my biggest headache, but Endpoint Central has genuinely transformed our workflow. The greatest strength lies in its 'set-it-and-forget-it' approach to patch management; being able to automate the testing and deployment of both OS and third-party app updates across different time zones is a game-changer. However, the experience isn't without its friction. The interface feels like a cockpit with too many buttons—it’s powerful, but the UI can be cluttered and unintuitive for a newcomer. You will likely spend your first few weeks buried in documentation or reaching out to their support to figure out specific configurations. It’s not as 'slick' as modern SaaS-only tools, and you might encounter occasional lag when pulling real-time reports. That said, for an IT team on a budget, it’s unbeatable. It consolidates remote support, software deployment, and asset tracking into a single console, effectively replacing three separate subscriptions. If you can push through the initial learning curve, it becomes an indispensable backbone of your IT operations."

Pros

Compared to enterprise giants like Microsoft Intune or Jamf, Endpoint Central offers a much more flexible and budget-friendly licensing model, making it a go-to for SMBs and mid-market enterprises.

Cons

Getting the on-premise version up and running—configuring ports, agent deployment, and server hardening—requires significant technical effort. You’ll likely need to lean on their documentation or support during the first month. While it supports mobile devices, it lacks some of the deep, platform-specific finesse found in specialized tools like Jamf for macOS/iOS.

### "The best all-inclusive systems management tool"

February 24, 2025

5.0

We have been using Endpoint Central to manage 100+ Windows based computers at multiple locations around our business for over 10 years now. It makes IT support and system management a breeze. Everything from ensuring BitLocker encryption is on, installing critical patches, deploying new software, image capture and OS deployment for new computers - it's a no brainer for computer management. On the few rare occasions that we've needed help OR just had a few questions, the support team has always been fast to respond and provide us with the information that we need. As a sysadmin providing level 1/2/3 support I highly recommend this product.

Pros

Endpoint Central's remote control tools enable us to provide reliable IT support to our staff from anywhere with an Internet connection. We can easily deploy custom scripts, software, and other configurations to all of our devices at once, AND the Threats & Patches functionality keeps our computers up to date with minimal effort.

Cons

Lockdown / kiosk mode for Android devices did not provide us with the same functionality as some other platforms, but we primarily manage Windows based systems so this was a very small trade off. Windows management is fantastic.

My experience with ManageEngine Endpoint Central has been very positive. It provides a centralized platform that makes it much easier to manage and secure endpoints across the organization.

Pros

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a powerful and reliable unified endpoint management solution that helps IT teams efficiently manage and secure devices across an organization. Its centralized console allows administrators to handle patch management, software deployment, remote troubleshooting, and configuration management from a single platform, significantly simplifying daily IT operations.

Cons

ManageEngine Endpoint Central can be complex to navigate at first, especially for new administrators. The platform includes many modules and configuration options, which can make the interface feel cluttered and require time to learn and manage effectively.

### "Loving Endpoint Central — Here’s My Story"

October 12, 2025

4.0

But overall, the quality and feature set are strong for the price / for the trial. This is worth trying for enterprise setups and you would really like the features and functionalities.

Pros

I’m currently using ManageEngine Endpoint Central in a 30-day trial, and I’ve been genuinely impressed. What I like: Setup was quick and fairly intuitive. Patch management works smoothly — rolling out OS and third-party patches across endpoints reliably. Remote troubleshooting, script execution, software deployment — all from one console. Good visibility: dashboards, reports, inventory, compliance tracking. Things to watch / small pain points: UI has a lot of tabs and menus — takes time to learn where everything lives.

Cons

Some features are a little hidden or require digging in settings. A few platform / OS combinations (e.g. macOS or mobile) are less polished (from what I see). I did not get time or did not see the container part.

It's an amazing experience to use Manage Engine Endpoint Central. The clutter-free UI + abundance of features make it enjoyable to navigate and utilize for your daily sys admin tasks.

November 24, 2025

My Overall experience with Endpoint Central has been great! I love the features and has high potential especially for bigger integration

Pros

I love that with Endpoint Central; the integration of PowerShell and a built-in file manager make managing endpoints fast and simple. I also love the Self service portal option as it makes optional apps easier to deploy for users to use when required.

Cons

I find the Remote control a bit disappointing as I feel like it could meet its full potential with a dedicated client for Remoting onto endpoints, similar to how Connectwise ASIO works. I would also love if they could implement a backstage like interface similar to Connectwise
