    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.

    ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus is highly effective for organizations prioritizing ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and a single pane of glass for both vulnerability detection and patching. It is well-suited for organizations needing to manage a diverse, yet traditional, on-premise IT infrastructure (servers, workstations, laptops). It is good at securing remote endpoints by using an agent to scan, detect and patch workstations. It is good for both scanning and remediating vulnerabilities through the built-in patching tools. It is ideal for a smaller to mid sized environment using Active Directory.

    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.

    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.

    I was not a part of the initial selection process, but I understand the issue was related to cost per endpoint. As a user of the other solutions I would say that the other solutions do have other strengths that ManageEngine is missing. The remote access tools are superior but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

    I chose Vulnerability because it is very easy to use and analyzes threats effectively. I previously used Microsoft System Center; however, due to its complexity and lack of transparency, we decided to remove it from our company and keep only Vulnerability.

    • By automating the scanning, assessment, and patch management process, VMP has helped reduce the time to patch for us by 40%.
    • It has provided continuous visibility into device health and overall patch state. This has helped reduce the amount of time manually checking and updating.
    • By prioritizing the list of vulnerabilities the tool has helped our staff stay focused on the high-impact risks and ensure that critical assets are patched first.
