ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Formerly Desktop Central

Earlier In our company we were facing a lot of challenges apart from threat and vulnerabilities like data getting out. but through this software we blocked all the peripherals and also measure size of data in and out. Additionally, We can even install a single software into multiple systems. It was a great investment and worth every penny

Endpoint Central is well suited to push applications and patch's to your various endpoints including Mac and Linux. The 3rd party patch's are already preconfigured for deployment so all you have to do is approve and they will start patching.

A suitable scenario is for automatic patching of operating systems and third-party applications. Being able to form test groups. before mass deployment of patches.A less appropriate scenario would be an environment with Linux equipment, with high turnover, because as the deployment of images is needed to have the equipment ready in a short time, it is not possible, since this functionality is not compatible with Linux Operating Systems

It is great overall. I cannot see an IT setting that it is less appropriate. With regard to features I feel MDM is mostly orchestrated through Entra for many businesses, therefore, I have not really found it useful in the platform. I have found that image creation is very slow and should be done better.

It is great for rolling out software on the fly. It has a well-maintained patch management feature. The Mobile Device Management area is easy to navigate.

Excellent ITSM tool for any type of company.

I recommend using the solution in environments where compliance, maturity and control of assets and software are outdated. I don't recommend it in an environment with less than 50 stations and collaboration on a single platform. The solution is very robust and allows greater visibility of the infrastructure, supporting the installation, updating and uninstallation of applications, as well as protection against ransomware.

It is a great tool cost wise for small businesses who want a swiss army knife with a tonne of features. Some work better than others, but overall it does get the job done

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.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central excels in large organizations requiring centralized endpoint security and patch management. It shines in scenarios with diverse endpoints and complex networks, ensuring uniform protection. However, for smaller setups with limited resources, its comprehensive features may be excessive, making a more streamlined solution more appropriate.

I think ManageEngine Endpoint Central is perfect for businesses of all sizes and workforce distribution to manage endpoints. I have used other tools and extensively SCCM and I can tell you, in my experience, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is more powerful and way easier to use.

If you do not have AD then it is the best thing that you can use and it will fulfill most of your requirements of as it includes group policy, remote support, Patching of OS and third-party applications, Remote support with the user and integration with service desk plus and manageability of Android, IOS, Linux , MAC , windows and chrome devices

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is good for Patch management, Patch Tuesday covers all required and necessary patch for window PC(I am window Pc user) Some patches are not getting installed on client machine that can be applied manually in client machine.
I am facing difficulty while deploying software and choosing configuration setting Remote control tool is must have tool which is smooth and easy to connect client machine for Support.

When you are managing different tools like SCCM/Intune to manage on-prem and cloud devices then ManageEngine Endpoint Central can be the best suited tool to leverage all these capabilities in a single console and manage your endpoints with all the features like App deployment, patch management, Vulnerability management, OS deployment, MDM etc.

In my opinion, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is recommended for decentralized mixed computer environments where people work from unmanaged offices, hotels, coffee shops or from home with a mix of OS's (Windows, Mac's and Linux). Also, I think ManageEngine Endpoint Central remote management solution is recommended from the license pricing point of view even for low budget IT departments. In case you have exclusive one vendor computer networks (like only Windows computers, or only Mac computers), I think there are better suited solutions from the perspective or features, customization and integration.

This is best for Patch Management and vulnerability management, this is best suited in Corporate where there are a strict processes of patch management are followed plus the process is audited

Well suited for large organization for managing complete end point in infra domain.

I recommend ManageEngine Endpoint Central in environments with hundreds of servers and clients. It updates both Windows and Linux machines comprehensively. Also if you need to perform pre or post-deploy tasks this is the software for you. I personally find it excellent to use in smaller environments as well. It is also possible to use it in large environments with decentralized offices. Great for having complete enterprise management of your entire fleet.

ease of use and deployment.

Agent deployment in various ways
Most lovable part is generating the reports easily.
We can also for custom Reports as per our need, ManageEngine team provides a Query to make the report done .
Awesome and wonderful Product from ZOHO.
Wonderful Support from ManageEngine Support team.
Things done goes much smoother with the tool and as well as the Support team.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a great alternative to Microsoft Intune and System Center, especially if you don't have the budget to maintain an entire team of system administrators to manage your endpoint manager. Their remote support options are superior to other solutions on the market and run a very close second to many of the solutions leading the industry. However, if you are trying to implement the system independently or you have an outage with an established system, ManageEngine Endpoint Central continues to struggle in its customer relations department. In my experience, technical support and customer service have consistently long wait times. If you can even locate the right number to call, I feel the follow-up assistance for an ongoing issue is laughably lax and inconsistent. ManageEngine Endpoint Central is definitely better than a lot of other systems on the market and has an incredibly economical pricing structure, but ManageEngine has a long way to go before they can compete with even Microsoft in the "I need to speak to a human" department.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is an ideal tool to help remote workers connect to our VPN as it just requires the agent to be pre-installed on their device and their connection to the internet. It makes supporting users quick and easy. The patch management can also be a heavily useful resource once it is fine-tuned to the point of working well.

We are an In-House IT Department that support 3 different companies. The product works well and I could see a MSP using the product.

If you have a limited IT Staff and don't have a Endpoint Specialist on staff and you need to rely on quick and timely support - Endpoint Central support is not timely. There support policies limit how much time a front line chat agent can help you, getting to senior level support is slow.
Quick and Timely support is not something that Endpoint Center Support supplies.

With the world experiencing a pandemic social distancing is still very important. With ManageEngine Endpoint Central I know I can count on quick remote support for our end users without having to visit each desk. We also use the mobile device manager solution as a replacement for another big name mobile device manager. The ManageEngine MDM is much easier to use and more reliable.
