### "Manageengine Review"

February 17, 2021

5.0

I love the product, simple.

Pros

Remote Desktop Access, Inventory Management, Software Deployment. All these are made easy and enjoyable in manage engine.

Cons

There too many agents, one for Asset Explorer, another for Inventory et, and a new one is release with every update and deploying them via Active Directory is not very clear. This is confusing at time.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

I did not actually choose. It was the first available alternative to WSUS for Updates and I liked it.

### "Very useful product, mostly intuitive to handle"

August 28, 2023

4.0

Very positive. Looks like this tool is going to save a lot time and work.

Pros

Easy deployment of management client, mostly intuitive handling on the management frontend, reliable functionality without any trouble about administrative accounts on the managed systems, minor issues quickly solved by the support (easy ticket creation process!).

Cons

The management frontend is sometimes a bit confusing, some functionality not working yet but as we are in trial, we will surely solve this together with the support.

### "Excellent Endpoint Management"

December 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

This is one of the most user-friendly systems I have used. It's intuitive enough that I did not require any training on it. If I had questions, their support team is just a click away and they are quick to respond and are quite thorough and attentive. We use the system primarily to update our Windows systems and to manage our mobile devices.

Cons

The remote access piece can be challenging on Android devices.

### "Great computer and mobile management software"

December 20, 2023

5.0

It has helped our organsisation manager our computers and mobile devices. It has saved us a huge amount of time and money. Being already involved within the Zoho sphere, the choice was really easy for us.

Pros

Love the ease of use, customer support is excellent.

Cons

The initial setup, it was a little tedious to get it up and running, once the initial setup was made, everything was working fine.

### "Good Product!"

August 19, 2022

5.0

Our business was looking for a software to handle our computer updates and software as well as remoting in to asset our end users.

Pros

Was easy to hook up to our Active Directory on premise. It was super easy to get the agent to our computers in our network.

Cons

When a software deployment fails it doesn't tell me what is wrong it just fails.

### "Great all in one tool for patching, deployment, and imaging"

February 9, 2021

5.0

It's been a great and essential piece of software.

Pros

The software is good value for the money and covers a lot of aspects. In addition, the vendor is always adding additional functionality. There are some really good value in their managed packages where you can easily push applications without having to manually package them.

Cons

Imaging component is a bit weak, sometimes some oddities found with certain components (for example it wasn't until recently you could re-push a profile for MDM) Once in a while it can take some time for commands to start working on the workstations.

Reason for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Price, ease of use, and the large scope of what it can support

### "Desktop Central is a great all-rounder at a good price"

April 24, 2021

5.0

Very good!

Pros

I was looking originally to improve the patching capability for software on our laptops, which are not connected to a domain. Desktop Central absolutely did that - but it gave me so much more, such as inventory, software reporting, MDM and more functions that I knew I needed but had put onto the longer-term roadmap. With Desktop Central able to cover these things too, I know I'm going to be able to roll them out quickly.

Cons

There is very little to complain about. If I was going to nit-pick, I'd say that the UI might be a little more intuitive than it is. The same is true of the knowledge base - it isn't bad, but it isn't simple. However, UI complexity is the cost of having a highly-featured product, so this is not a big complaint.
