### "Desktop Central "

September 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

Absolutely a wonder application. Great for software, service packs and patch deployment. The ease of installing and configuring will have you up and running very quickly. Ideal for small to mid size networks. It also allows admins to search and service packs and patches for software outside of the Microsoft family. Workstation configurations can be configured and deployed via a schedule. There are also some very detailed and useful reports.

Cons

Support isn't as good some of the other ManageEngine applications.

### "Full-featured product, very easy to use"

November 14, 2022

4.0

Pros

The endpoints install with no fuss at all - simply run the executable and that's it - no keys or reg files to deploy. Overall the software is very easy to use and navigate.

Cons

Our initial deployment was tricky as we use other ManageEngine products. Navigation of using multiple products could be defined a little better

### "Endpoint Central is a good fit for us. "

July 15, 2022

5.0

Our main focus was finding a reliable replacement for WSUS, without going to SCCM.

Pros

We like the ability to control patching, approve common software, and launch remote control sessions from one UI.

Cons

The setup takes time, planning, and testing. The features and capability seems to all be there, but user-ease will probably be ongoing.

### "Almost perfect!"

October 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

The features are great and there are many of them. I use the cloud-version and upgrade from ManageEngine MDM. I tested many MDMs and RMMs, but this one doesn't miss much. Test it!

Cons

Cause of the many features, the UI is a little confusing, but there are many crosslinks that makes it easier to handle it. You need some time for trainig yourself.

### "Desktop Central Review"

March 2, 2021

4.0

Great product, awesome potential for an efficient environment. Some functionality has ease of use, others require technical walk-through and assistance. Knowledge base is very general and support is hard to reach.

Pros

Features and functionality. The ease of use for end user and technical team.

Cons

Customer support. Most responses return an article to read and no support to the intricate details to the issue you may be facing that isn't documented. Calls aren't returned although they are promised.

So many features especially the remote control such as remote registry and wake on LAN. Deploying packages is good to but the status page could be a little more elaborate.

### "Cloud UEM trial for a small municipality"

September 2, 2021

4.0

We are using the trial at the moment, and have decided to move forward in purchasing the UEM Cloud edition of Desktop Central.

Pros

ManageEngine does well with easy deployment of the product. I really like sending updates and new software to systems without having to interrupt the user.

Cons

There are grammatical errors and typos within the English language. It is understandable but often strange. Therefore, it can look unprofessional to our users.

### "Desktop Central Is Critical for Small-Medium Businesses"

July 1, 2021

5.0

I had never used it prior to me moving into this new position in May. I can't speak highly enough of this product, it has shown vulnerabilities that we wouldn't have been able to find manually and made getting our environment up to date possible. I love it!

Pros

Ease of use, huge number of features and functions, cost and the user interface is intuitive.

Cons

Agent deployment was initially a challenge, but after adding it to our Group Policy, that issue went away. The instructions for doing this were very straightforward.

MEDC is quick and easy to use, and so far has been very effective at patching our workstations. The fact that you can use it to set up a software repository for your users is also very useful.
