ManageEngine Endpoint Central vs. Miradore

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is fantastic for a set and forget patching tool. This is great for the Windows clients that we have and provides good reporting and ensures machines are kept up to date and gives us good reporting on which machines are vulnerable in our organisation. Linux machines are not as well handled due to the multiple flavours of Linux that are out there. ManageEngine Endpoint Central only manages specific versions of Mac and Linux so it is best to check compatability ahead of time.

Miradore works great for us because it allows our agency to easily and remotely manage all of our iPhones and iPads, including pushing software updates, apps, restrictions, location-tracking, and so forth. It nearly eliminates the need to "put hands on" devices as frequently as I would otherwise need to do as our IT Liaison. Our IT vendor, with their own login credentials, is able to manage our devices or assist me with issues. Customer Support from Miradore has been stellar the entire three years we have had an account. Our IT vendor selected/recommended Miradore for us out of a variety of options, and found them to be the best fit considering price, features, and support; I would have to say they made an excellent choice!

• Patch Management is very easy to use and deploy patches each month
• Inventory Reporting is straight forward with multiple premade reports available
• Remote Connections are very simple to use, it only takes 15 seconds to find and connect to a device.
• Software Deployment and the Self serviceportal give you multiple ways of deploying your apps.

• Easy to install and configure
• Outstanding customer service and support
• Robust features
• Easy user interface

• More granular access level controls for technicians (restrictions for juniors) on the Mobile Device Management add-on
• Monitoring mobile data usage on mobile devices, this has been in the product pipeline for 5 years, but not yet implemented
• Ability to remotely support company-owned mobile devices with no end-user permission. End-user needs to allow the remote session, when sometimes that's what we don't want since we're doing an investigation.

• Free version still does not have full functionalities for Android non-Samsung devices, can not push email.
• Can enroll Google Pixel, but can not push security policy as well now, like pin.

The local distributor of the product is always available, however most support is received within an hour from India. We've had complex requirements and the support team went so far as to customize their mobile application to suit our unique needs. We honestly can't complain about any support we've received and it's always been very quick.

Sometimes it takes time to get a response back. There is a delay in updates to support devices with newest OS.

WSUS (provided by Microsoft) is a MUCH inferior product, no flexibility at all, updates when it wants and how it wants and was generally not suit for purpose. In addition, endpoint offers all the other functionality that WSUS doesn't (as said earlier in my review, remote control, endpoint security and much more).

This is the first time we've used an MDM. Our IT vendor researched and selected Miradore over several other options.

• With software metering, the real use of applications by users has been identified; in this case, when the license renewal date arrives, users who do not use this application have stopped renewing it. This has achieved savings for the business.
• The deployment of images has made the onboarding of collaborators faster, this means less downtime and more productivity for the company.
• By having the laptops patched and without vulnerabilities, there is greater productivity, because the equipment is no longer out of service due to an attack or vulnerability.

• Increased productivity, as it avoids the installation and use of non-corporate apps;
• Increased protection and preservation of the company's information and integrity;
• It allows us to work remotely with company devices and have security.
