    ManageEngine Endpoint Central is significantly better, particularly when it comes to patch management and creating custom deployments/configurations. We had a lot of holes in our patch compliance before which ManageEngine Endpoint Central was able to identify. Additionally we …

    I think ManageEngine Endpoint Central does a much better job than WSUS in managing Windows updates. Handles large quantity fine, and good reports to see what was successful, or what wasn't.

    We have selected Endpoint Central especially for the presence of OS deployment module and for the maturity of other components; moreover, NinjaOne doesn't offer an onprem installation, and some customer needed it. However, NinjaOne appears to be more 'modern' in the dashboard …

    We selected Endpoint Central because we couldn't manage our patching with SCCM anymore; we noticed it was inconsistent and not working properly. Also, it wouldn't work out-of-network, which is an important factor for us. These products all helped us improve the quality of our …

    Endpoint Central has a lot more functionality than PDQ. We've used PDQ for years, but we no longer see the cost as worth it since Endpoint Central handles inventory and software deployment just as well. Having everything in a single interface is also useful.

    For me, Endpoint Central belongs to the big three (WS1, Intune, Endpoint Central), so it's better in its own third-party app repo, Vulnerabilities report, Script deployment, OS Management, and Communication between the server and the endpoint. Is no worse than WS1 in Endpoint …

    For small businesses, it is also free, which, for what it offers, is really helpful. It works better than similar products, such as SCCM, both within and outside the internal network. I do not see scenarios in which it could be less appropriate.

    Pros
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • 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.

    Cons
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • Prioritizing the flow between package deployments and updates. In my case, application packages must take priority over updates.
    • Reconnecting the remote control port after restarting the computer.
    • In dynamic groups, the first parameter is always "OR", which can cause problems when selecting the remote desktop.

    Usability
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    Not using WNS to communicate with the endpoint console is a big plus. We now use Workspace One, and WNS can be really annoying at times. After deployment, it cleans itself, which is important for us because our current solution leaves the package on the computer and requires maintenance. The remotely script command is a lifesaver.

    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.
