We replaced LANDESK with Endpoint Central. When comparing the two, Endpoint Central is the clear winner in every single category you can think of. LANDESK was incredibly tedious to use, and it was far less powerful than Endpoint Central. We are very happy with the wide array of …

Having the two integrate together as you can have a history of each piece of equipment is wonderful. You can easily see what has been done or if it is a reoccurring issue that might be the symptoms of a bigger issue.
I think System Center, specifically the Configuration Manager is much harder to install and get setup when compared to Endpoint Central. Endpoint Central also has a cleaner UI, especially when it comes to patching and the inventory management. I think both offerings are a bit …
In addition to its lower price compared to competitors, ManageEngine Endpoint Central has extra features not available in others, such as remote access included within the tool, with access justification, recording, and auditing. It also has a self-service portal so that the …

Although these products don't directly compare to ManageEngine, I've had plenty of experience using SolarWinds products. In general they were easier to use, but were cost prohibitive when trying to utilize all features needed.
Endpoint Central offers a stack of possibilities for a very affordable price tag. The support team is very knowledgeable and the product clearly competes with other software on the market. It offers a more robust and scalable solution that some of the competitors. Regular …
In general is best all round performer and tends to have multiple tools in one place compared to others.

Tanium is bigger in total functionality, but is far less responsive, reliable and slower. as the agent of Tanium eats CPU and memory it causes other issues as well.

ManageEngine provide a single-pane dashboard windows for managing major task. Provide more comprehensive features
We preferred Endpoint Central for several reasons. The wide range of functionality, the ability to manage our entire infrastructure from a single console, and the capability to manage our smartphones. No other solution allowed us to do all this, except Microsoft Intune which is …
ManageEngine Endpoint Central is very well suited to most kind of patches, updates, and software deployments. It's able to quickly recognize and update third-party software whenever a new security vulnerability is discovered, and it's able to do this for you automatically. The remote connection and management features allow us to begin troubleshooting immediately once a user reports an issue, regardless of whether or not they're working on-campus or from home. A ticket that might have taken a few days to close out now takes no longer than a couple minutes. If you use Mac, the remote connection feature requires the user to allow Endpoint Central through their system's Security/Privacy settings. This step can be difficult for your less tech-savvy users. You can remotely and silently access a computer's task manager, registry, and command prompt, which is incredibly useful. This saves us a ton of time on having to contact the user and schedule a meeting. The only complaints I have about these management features are that the UI is a little bare bones, and it occasionally has minor problems with responsiveness.
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
I gave this rating because ManageEngine Endpoint Central is reliable, easy to use, and delivers strong value for money. It helps us save time through automation and effectively handles patching, remote support, application management, BitLocker security, and corporate data wipe. Although cloud DLP support is limited, the overall performance and stability fully justify the rating.
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.
