CCleaner vs. ManageEngine Endpoint Central

There are no scenarios where it is well suited for use unless you need help finding temporary internet files to delete.

It provides highly secure protocols for Encryption and is also very easy to recover the Encryption code at the administrator level if needed. Remote support for users and workstations is very smooth, with no connection lag between entities. Monitoring Monthly security updates and implementing them in your server environment is very easy. The layout makes it very easy to understand what is where, and if you missed something, it will indicate it.

• We set alerts when a devices gets low on disk space. That is automatic and creates a ticket in ME SDP. We are then able to Add space to a VM Desktop, and then go thru ManageEngine Endpoint Central to extend the drives so the entire process can be done without interruption to the end user.
• Using the patch scans we can easily see what patches have been installed for all manufacturers not just Microsoft, without having to physically go to the device. It also allows us to choose which patches we want to push out and automate the process so we can be hands off, freeing up out time for other things.
• Remote access to devices. This allows us to remotely make changes, not just via remote control but also make registry changes and clean up space without going to the device and without interruption to the end user.
• Alerts. We have set up to get email alerts when new hardware is plugged into any computers. This lets us know if someone is bringing in un-authorized equipment (thumb drives, hubs, etc) to better manage what is/is not on our network.

• The remote CLI/PowerShell interfaces should support tab completion and command history like the real-world versions
• Remote control could work better
• Having a standalone application, even if just a Java app or something for the remote control/remote command line versus running it out of a web browser

ManageEngine is considered an excellent product due to its comprehensive suite of solutions for IT management, with ManageEngine Endpoint Central specifically excelling in endpoint management. The platform stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust features, and versatility in addressing diverse IT needs. It offers organizations a centralized solution for endpoint security, patch management, software deployment, and asset management

There is nothing this thing does that you can't do yourself

I'm very satisfied with this product, but there's definitely room for improvement. As I mentioned earlier, remote system management tools like the Task Manager could be greatly improved with new features, cleaner UI, and better optimization/responsiveness. Their remote Task Manager gives access to the Processes and Startup tabs of your standard Windows Task Manager, but it's missing useful tabs like Performance. Sometimes software deployments do not begin right away. When inspecting the task you may notice that the status is empty, or the status reads "Waiting on [X task] before beginning deployment". Even if that other task is paused and never began, your new task still might take its time deploying. This behavior can make it frustrating to deploy software when you're trying to fix something urgent.

The immediate chat support is great and very helpful. However, if you need escalated support or have a deeper need that the chat tool can't help with, you will experience significant wait times and slow responses. The time zone difference becomes painful to the point of often just giving up.

It seems that the services offered with the purchase change from what is covered to what is an additional cost. Somethings I thought we had ended up requiring an additional purchase if we wanted to continue using the feature.

This works great. It is super easy to setup automated patching and the patching actually works. When using Solarwinds, we would have to regularly troubleshoot machines and figure out why they were not patching. This is not the case with ManageEngine Endpoint Central. We have seen a significant decrease in number of troubleshooting hours since moving.

• We have been able resolve and complete any requests which include things like software deployment or issues that include troubleshooting, much faster and more efficiently. This has had a sharp decrease in our response times and also time it takes to complete these requests or incidents.
• The mobile device management features have allowed us to be able to have a much tighter grip on security. This means we have dramtically decreased our device vulnerabilities and risk of data breaches. This has saved us lots of time and money.
• The remote features that are available have helped a lot with user's being able to work remotely and allow our organisation to sustain hybrid work. It means user's can still be as productive and IT support is as efficient no matter where the user is working.
