### "Everything works great"

November 1, 2022

4.0

Pros

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is one of the most powerful and simple to use mobile device management solutions I have ever used. I came across it when I was looking for a solution to manage the fleet of Android devices that my company uses. It has proven to be very easy to use and has a strong set of tools for managing the devices in my mobile devices department.The product is quite easy to use; it is a simple install, with a great UI and very intuitive.

Cons

everything works perfectly and there is no problem.

### "A decent product"

October 20, 2022

4.0

We are solving patch management, software licensing and deployment, compliance management, and inventory.

Pros

Patch management was easy to setup. Inventory is very comprehensiveTest and approve worked seamlessly. Reports are comprehensiveWeb GUI is responsive taking 3-5 seconds on average to load a page. Decent considering all the information points it has to collate.

Cons

GPO deployment how-tos were hard to understand. GPO deployment didn't work via VPN. Test and Approve needs a representative group, otherwise some patches will never be approved that are needed by the rest of the business, but are not needed by anyone in the test and approve group

### "Great for the money"

April 20, 2022

5.0

We are benefiting by keeping up with patches and all our inventory, Desktop Central is also very cost effective since its only ~$2.50 per device.

Pros

There are so many features in Desktop Central, so many that we might not ever use some of them. But they manage to keep all these features working and at the ready for when we might need them.

Cons

The interface is a little hard to navigate at first, its a little cluttered and not as responsive as others. But when you have so many features its hard to find a place for all of them.

### "Well Rounded Tool"

February 27, 2021

5.0

Reporting provides accurate details to resolve compliance or security issues. Inventory of accounts and assets is maintained and the patching and speed of pushing them out is easier without disrupting users. Remote access to the user when a user needs assistance and or training.

Pros

ME is akin to having at least one 24x7 IT person working. The reporting is completed and has helped flush out rogue and outdated drivers and cloud activity. Patching with ease and the remote tool all built in. Most campuses could easily utilize this tool to better manage assets and inform on problem areas.

Cons

Some of the reports could be consolidated.

### "Tremendous all-in-one tool for endpoint management"

March 22, 2022

5.0

Being an admirer of the ManageEngine tools, choosing Desktop Central for its capabilities to manage Windows, MacOS, and Linux machines was a no-brainer.

Pros

Managing with ease Linux, Mac, and Windows machines with a comprehensive view on the patch management for OS and third-party software's. HW inventory to prepare for EOL and or upgrades of computers. Asset mgmt to make sure computers are correctly assigned. SW inventory for a full picture on running approved and licensed software. SW deployment made easy with the Self-Service Portal. Assuring compliance with the company policies.

Cons

As the product is constantly evolving sometimes the documentation may not be up-to-date however, given the intuitive and ease to manage this is rarely a problem.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

The ease of use, far greater list of features and capabilities.

### "Easy to Use Remote Access Tool"

November 7, 2023

5.0

Pros

As a user utilizing the remote tool feature primarily, the ability to quick launch functions directly from the tool without having to login directly to the computer is fantastic. Easy to use and understand.

Cons

To this point, as a user utilizing the remote tool feature primarily, I have not experienced anything that I would say frustrates me.

### "The products provide a lot of value to organizations, and easily compete with the top vendors."

December 6, 2017

5.0

Pros

There are lots of solutions/modules available to help manage IT from an enterprise perspective. Could value on the small amount of resources needed to operate the solution.

Cons

We encounter ongoing challenges when trying to work with the Sales part of this company. It is very frustrating to deal with sales when trying to buy more than one module. Every module seems to have its own sales team that do not talk to the other sales teams. Worst part of the product.

May 9, 2023

Hit and miss, I used the in-house version at another job. Worked better than this to be honest. unfortunately the cost difference is prohibited to do that here.

Pros

Features on the console. the ease of setting notifications

Cons

Deployment. It is almost impossible to individually get to every PC and install it manually. IT dept of 1. Need to mass install correctly Too may errors

### "So much promise but support severely lacking"

March 1, 2022

4.0

Pros

The speed to online a trial was nice. Great single pane of glass for a lot of information about the in-field fleet but lacking in a lot of capabilities.

Cons

The agent installs(MDM and DC Agent) are spotty at best and difficult to automate. With a full remote workforce having to double ship equipment to ensure they are right and proper is a PITA.

### "Hosted Endpoint Central 30day review"

October 28, 2022

4.0

Very Positive. We have been impressed with the quality of the product, ease of use, and features. This product is a strong leader in our search for a UEM.

Pros

We were looking for an all-in-one remote access, patch management, application management, OS deployment, and inventory control solution for our department. While we have only been testing for 30 days, we have been very impressed by the ease of use and how quickly we were able to deploy and manage this to our test users.

Cons

Wishing there was a support portal that our end users could browse to for us to remotely access their PCs that do not have the EC agent on. Support for other vendors (HP, Lenovo) driver/bios updates.

### "Awesome tool with slightly lacking support"

February 1, 2019

5.0

We went from excel sheets with manual reporting to this tool. It was a great step in making management of our end points actually quite easy.

Pros

This software allowed us to consolidate our desktop management and reporting into a very user friendly tool that makes getting to the information quite easy.

Cons

The only issue that we have is some of the information can be stale and we have to manually scan the desktop. It does not take long and does not happen too often to be a major issue.

February 14, 2018

Management of USB drives is a plus. It's a problem with users using USB drives all the time.

Pros

Let's see. I can manage patching, bandwidth optimization, remote control and more. Alerts and reports of AD and users login.

Cons

I would love to be able to deliver Operative systems and to restrict the use of pirate software. That's is difficult to have I agree.
