    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.

    PDQ
    PDQ Inventory is great if you have a local network of computers on or off a domain. As long as you have a way to log into them with common credentials. Great for large organizations, particularly ones interconnected with VPNs. PDQ Inventory isn't so great for PCs that aren't connected to the same LAN the server is on. (i.e. non-vpn remote users) They used to have a remote agent you could install, but it was removed after numerous issues.

    PDQ
    • The facility to attempt re-deployment can be a bit easier to use, however, once you get used to it, it is OK.
    • The errors that it produces can be a bit cryptic, so could do with some sort of a verbose mode, when logging issues with packages being deployed.

    The interface is straight forward and guides you through the process there. PDQ keeps track of the when new updates are made available writes the scripts and all l you need to do is push the button. (Mr George Jetson) Now with the download done you just sit back worry free and watch the software install in 1% of the time it would take to take care of the PC manually.

    PDQ
    The built-in help menus and general ease of use render whatever systems support there might be almost irrelevant. There is stability in the system's simplicity; if you're in the position to use such a product, you're your own best friend. Simple web searches more often than not turn up the solution to any little niggles, such as what silent install switches specific applications require (a remarkably wide choice of options exist). System updates are timely and unobtrusive, installing in no time at all. Maybe I've just been lucky; if so, long may it continue!

    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.

    This software was referred to us by an IT professional. Previously, we were installing the software with the help of remote desktop applications but it was very time consuming; it was wasting the user's time since he could not use his computer. After testing PDQ Deploy, we just never looked back.

    Return on Investment
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • 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.

    • Made patching for large computer estate very efficient, another positive for staff not having to spend hours of patching individual machines
    • Works well for small team of IT's and again makes various repetitive tasks much easier
