### "Ease Endpoint Management "

October 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

It is very similar to the other manage engine works and the GUI is pretty straightforward. It won't consume more time for learning and it will be easy to learn the function and configuration of deployment. And the tool is also available for different Operating Systems, so deployment can be made easy.

Cons

While installation of patches, the reason or the error why it has failed is not properly mentioned often.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

We found that patch management for a big enterprise like us is good in manage engine.

### "Desktop central, the solution that allows centralized management of endpoints"

May 16, 2022

5.0

It has been a very helpful tool that allows you to have the administration of all the devices in a single console, helping to improve the administration of security and IT management

Pros

Ease of use and ease of deployment, plus allows you to manage multiple types of devices in a simple, straightforward and intuitive interface

Cons

The cost of Desktop Central is consistent with the scope it allows to have over devices

### "Slow, unreliable patching, complicated menu"

July 31, 2021

1.0

complicated and confusing

Pros

Patch and Automate Patch Deployment but I feel that WSUS should be better for this. There is many patches every months that are not installed. We must than install this updates manually.

Cons

Patch Mgmt.. is slow, we have limited time window to install all updates but there is no option to force installation or change the 90minutes refres cycle.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Not my choice, we use it as MDM, but we dont use it anymore.

### "Decent product"

September 8, 2023

4.0

Pros

patch management and deployment is near fully automated.

Cons

Free trial is reflective of most expensive offering. Not able to use a trimmed down version to reflect the option package we would most likely use.

### "Excellent product for end point and server management "

December 26, 2023

5.0

I would highly recommend the product for asset management, OS deployment and Patching management

Pros

Ease of use and setup. The option of a cloud based version.

Cons

Slight learning curve but the option of a trial and how to video is very helpful

### "Increased mobile users required us to move to a cloud solution."

May 25, 2021

5.0

My overall experience has been great. The product is easy to use and helpdesk support is always quick and friendly.

Pros

As COVID hit our company we suddenly went from about 40% remote users to 100% remote users. As a company we have always deployed laptops to our users but most of them were in the corporate office regularly. With COVID that changed and degraded our ability to know vulnerability levels and to ensure all systems were patched. We have deployed the in-house Vulnerability Manager Plus from Manage Engine but with users not always on VPN getting up to date information on laptops was difficult. Moving to the cloud solution was a great option for us as it had most of the capabilities of the inhouse system in use with the benefit added features like system inventory, remote management and always on connectivity through the cloud.

Cons

There really isn't anything I like about this software.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Chose the Cloud version as it met our needs and training and implementation cost were negligible.

July 8, 2021

5.0

Overall it has been a valuable tool for the team

Pros

I inherited a network that was using this product. Although I have used other similar products in the past, I was able to easily pick up how this product works and had plenty of help from support and online videos. This has quickly become my desktop management favorite tool

Cons

I have not received an XL t-shirt with the logo

### "Why we switched from Microsoft Intune to Endpoint Central"

April 11, 2023

5.0

We are very happy overall with the experience and features that Endpoint Central offers.

Pros

The ease of use combined with a vast feature set is the reason why we switched over from Microsoft Intune which lacked a lot of features that Endpoint Central has. It's very reliable as an MDM and the ability to deploy software to devices is nice.

Cons

The lack of documentation can be a challenge when setting up the instance.

### "Great product!"

March 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

The ability to perform updates and monitor updates is so easy. The ability to help our end users is great. We would need at least 3 more bodies if we were not using Desktop Central.

Support is sometime slow to respond. I do not have many cons.

### "A great solution for endpoint management with Jira integration"

March 14, 2023

4.0

ManageEngine has been great to have visibility over our environment after switching from an MSP.

Pros

I am enjoying exploring the integrations between Endpoint Central and Jira.

Cons

It's a plus that Endpoint Central can be used on PC and Mac however the Mac requires a little more effort to configure and deploy.

December 19, 2022

5.0

It solved all the issues we had with remote deployment and the time and resources it took to rollout software and updates.

Complexity of setting up a closed environment.

### "Still in trial - looks promising for the price but takes some time to get working well"

October 2, 2022

4.0

I'm still in trial. It looks promising so far

Pros

I find it easy to learn, although sometimes a little time consuming and requiring taking a lot of notes, something I don't usually do. I think it is worth persisting due to the pricing as it works out well proced for me with 75 endpoints

Cons

It was a little tricky to create a "site" initially and I think AD sync is only from on premise, not Azure but once it was up and running it makes it easy to add machines, etc

### "Best End Point Management Software (Value for Money)"

June 24, 2022

5.0

It is great tool, our IT team now has full visibility on every device we own.

Pros

The product is so easy to use and configure that we were able to implement in couple of hours. We are not pushing the agent to our sites and it is so effortless.

Cons

So far nothing, we have found it easy to use and ME have great support in case we need some help

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

It is easy to configure and value for money.

### "Excellent Software"

March 2, 2021

5.0

There is so much feature packed into Desktop Central. Most of them so useful and so convenient.

Pros

We use this software mainly to rollout Windows/Linux patches, third party software updates, software installation/uninstallation and for remote access of internal workstations. It is very easy to use and all in one interface. You can even launch command prompt in the background as the user while the user is using the computer. Saves us so much time.

Cons

The pricing is in USD only. Their latest Endpoint Security feature requires separate licensing. Some features like MDM and OS Deployment require a steep learning curve.

The support is not very helpful, they take hours to respond.
