### "All in one package"

July 23, 2024

4.0

This product offers excellent value for the cost. Its ease of use is another key reason to choose it.

Pros

What I appreciate most about Manage Engine is the complete control it offers over all our devices from a single platform. I particularly value the ability to remotely access these devices as needed. The capability to test and deploy weekly patches and block applications in real-time has been a significant advantage for our company. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and implementing upgrades has been straightforward. Additionally, the customer support forum has been instrumental in resolving any issues we encounter.

Cons

At times, the interface can be a bit unintuitive, but by using the guides on the ManageEngine portal or contacting technical support, we always manage to accomplish our tasks.

### ""Streamline Endpoint Management with ManageEngine Endpoint Central: Enhanced Visibility, Control, and Real-Time Monitoring""

July 1, 2024

5.0

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a unified endpoint management software that streamlines endpoint management, enhancing visibility and control over running applications, ensuring all systems and applications, including third-party apps, are up-to-date and free from vulnerabilities, all while improving the user experience on a single platform. Its agent deployment architecture enables real-time management and monitoring of endpoints.

Pros

Automation capabilities of the application, from scheduled AD sync, inventory scan, and vulnerability scan to Automated patch testing in the Test & approve, Automated Patch Deployment, and conclusive scheduled reporting to automated tasks. Endpoint Central features a wide functionality in daily system administration and management. The integral of remote desktop connection, chat, video, audio and text exchange between admin and user has simplified Remote support. License tracking in the inventory mgt module enables the org to save expenses on underutilized software and helps scale up for the frequently used software

Cons

The Data Loss Prevention module is far-fetched, we cannot manage other mail clients other than Outlook.

### "ME Endpoint Central "

July 1, 2024

5.0

I have been a fan of Manage Engine for the past 5 years, especially with my experience using Service Desk Plus. Recently, I explored and tested Endpoint Central Cloud, and I must say it has ticked all the boxes for our needs. Initially, we were just looking for a patch management solution. However, with Manage Engine Endpoint Central, we discovered much more. Not only can we identify and patch known vulnerabilities efficiently, but the test and approve function has been immensely helpful in ensuring stability and security before deployment. One of the standout features for us has been the ability to use remote tools to support our endpoints across the globe effectively. This has greatly improved our ability to provide timely support and maintenance, regardless of location. Moreover, Endpoint Central is cost-efficient, incorporating many essential tools into one comprehensive solution. This has streamlined our processes and reduced the need for multiple, separate tools, leading to significant cost savings. Overall, Manage Engine Endpoint Central Cloud has exceeded our expectations, providing a robust, reliable, and versatile solution for endpoint management. Highly recommended!

Pros

What I liked most about ME Endpoint Central is its support for Windows, Mac, and Linux, eliminating the need for additional systems to manage different OS platforms. It includes a remote tool for user support, but the standout feature is its comprehensive patch management and vulnerability assessments.

Cons

It does not have data centers in all regions. Additionally, the data centers located outside the US only provide hosting services for companies within that specific country, not for companies in nearby areas. Also not able to fully integrate with other helpdesk system besides service desk plus.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Pricing, Compatibility with all OS platforms and use of system tools.

### "Ferramenta Robusta e Completa para Gestão de Segurança em Compliance com a NIST."

August 1, 2024

4.0

Durante o período de avaliação foi identificado diversas ferramentas fundamentais para o gerenciamento de estações, principalmente voltados para segurança. O gerenciamento e aplicação de patchs funcionam em nível rede e Web. Também por ser uma ferramenta bem completa substitui outras ferramentas diminuindo o custo com ferramentas adicionais como Ferramenta de acesso remoto.

Pros

Gerenciamento de patchs: Permite atualização remota e sem interação com o usuário. Implementação e remoção de software sem interação com o usuário. Configurações e acesso remoto as estações.

Cons

A ferramenta ainda em desenvolvimento em algumas funções como o DLP que não possui cloud e o Antivirus de Ultima geração que ainda não está concluido.

### "Excellent Solution for IT"

July 15, 2024

4.0

Endpoint Central is a feature rich product that perfectly suits our needs for various Linux servers patch compliance, asset management and scheduled reporting requirements. With the add-on Vulnerability Manager Plus (VMP) module, my team is able to efficiently and effectively manage vulnerabilities. VMP's CIS compliance feature regularly accesses configurations of our Linux servers against the CIS Benchmarks for violations and provides guidance for mitigating detected risks. Endpoint Central plus VMP greatly save our time and efforts for securing our Linux server infrastructure and optimize my organization's compliance management.

Pros

It's no doubt a feature rich and comprehensive solution. The thread and patch management feature significantly benefits our efforts on securing our Linux infrastructure. Features such as patch selections, targeting, testing and approval, and automated patch installations definitely will help us a lot for patch management. We are still on a free trial while my company's procurement working on the purchase negotiation with ManageEngine to greatly reduce our learning and deployment hurdles.

Cons

The greatest challenge that we encounter is to figure out exactly what to configure for patch management as what we already have in use with the tool that is being replaced by Endpoint Central. The learning curve is pretty high. Cloud edition should have its own distinct documentation set entirely. Upon clicking a link pertaining to Cloud specific configurations, it shouldn't re-direct you to configurations solely suitable for on-prem edition.

### "Power Full Solution "

July 2, 2024

5.0

Overall, my experience has been excellent. The platform is very easy to use and implement. The support team is responsive, often answering queries within minutes, unlike other tools where responses can take 2-3 days. It’s great, simple, and has all the features I need. After reviewing many other solutions, I loved ManageEngine Endpoint Central from day one.

Pros

Endpoint Central significantly improves our patch management, which is essential for our security. Neglecting this could have severe consequences. Additionally, it allows us to monitor the age of our machines, providing valuable business insights. The remote feature is outstanding. I highly recommend ManageEngine. I explored various products for software metering, patch management, and asset management, but Endpoint Central offered all these features in one package, making our decision easy.

Cons

Endpoint Central has limited features for macOS and even fewer for Linux, which can be attributed to OS constraints. Enrollment for Mac and Linux is challenging and offers minimal benefits, with no MDM for Linux and limited MDM functionality for macOS. The advertising on the ManageEngine and Endpoint Central websites overpromises, especially regarding multi-OS features, making it very Windows-centric. Integrating with existing IT infrastructure and third-party applications is complex, requiring additional planning and customization. Performance issues arise with a large number of endpoints. Some features do not work as expected, and outdated instructions lead to extra time spent learning how to use powerful features. The service struggles to recognize new devices and lacks sufficient information about the device owner at the approval stage of a new agent installation. Additionally, email notifications for such events are desired.
