Endpoint Management has never been so easy...
- Periodic vulnerability analysis, including the solution to these security gaps.
- inventory of assets (hardware and software), with notifications to interested parties
- centralized application management: application deployment and application uninstallation (manual and automatic)
- Should support the deployment of images for operating systems other than Windows
- Agentless asset scanning, in addition to what already works well with agent
- It must incorporate an antivirus, it is the last feature that would be missing to provide complete security management.

Swiss Army Knife with a bit of rusty tools
The product gives a nice overview over devices, their inventory and a way to manage endpoints. Things like being able to access file manager, task manager, registry and other tools remotely without having to connect to the users computer is a big plus.
However, in my opinion, this product really falls short when it comes to remote connection. In my experience, the remote connection tool is slow, laggy and often disconnects. The chat opens in a seperate window and times out after a few minutes without any way to increase the timeout. It gets the job done in a pinch, but, in my opinion, other products like TeamViewer, AnyDesk and even Zoho Assist is a much more enjoyable experience.
In my experience, Support seems to not be able to solve this mystery. So we have not pursued a solution any further than spending a lot of time on troubleshooting.
I think the support is okayish. Quick response over chat, but, in my experience, a resolution often takes a lot of time. In my opinion, updates are a huge hassle and requires the application to be stopped and the application to be manually downloaded and installed. When support asks for logs, they need to be manually exported from the logs folder on the server, zipped and sent to support.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central review

- Control of software inventories.
- Management of security patches on operating system and third-party applications.
I have no words for less appropriate scenarios.
ManageEngine Endpoint Central makes life easier for IT
- Remote support
- Patch management
- Inventory management
- Mobile device management
- Licensing compliance
- Software uninstall could have better reporting.
- Updating the remote client can be problematic when an old version is already installed.
- The secure gateway component could use some better GUI monitoring.
Managing 2000 users effectively and securely, this is cost-effective and very effective product to seriously consider.
- Securing mobile devices
- Monitoring and securing our various servers
- Managing people using these devices
- Protecting our network, company and client data
- 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.
IT Friendly Remote Access Software and Asset Manager
- Remote access
- Computer inventory
- Software inventory
- Remote access via browser is little slow
- Desktop Central should launch a portable tool for remote access for Windows and Mac
- Desktop Central service sometime won't start, need to fix
- Provide so many tools during the remote control (blank screen to the end-user, transfer files, chat, video call, send commands like Ctrl+Alt+Del).
- Install / Uninstall software silently for the end-user, without the need for their participation.
- Keeping the machines up to date using the patch deployment (for Windows and 3rd parties).
- Automate the regular maintenance like deleting temporary files, emptying the recycle bin, and disk defragmentation out of operational hours.
- Scheduled Wake On Lan the machines to execute some tasks, like prevent maintenance, install/uninstall software or patches. Obviously, it also can power off the machines after tasks are performed.
- Increase the configurations for Mac and Linux systems (because most of the features are available only for Windows).
- Expand the scope of the mobile app, like OS Deployment and MDM modules.
- OS Deployment module has many flaws, I think it could be improved.
1) If you need to have the inventory details about your computers and servers, no matter if they are in or out of the office.
2) If you need to provide remote support to your end-users or inclusive to your end customers because there is an MSP version.
3) If you need to automate preventive maintenance to your computers and servers and keep them up to date Less appropriate:
1) If you need to deploy the whole operating system remotely, there are still some flaws, and is not so fast.
2) If you need to keep all control from the mobile app, as of now that is not possible because not all the modules are added in the mobile app.
3) If you need to block the USB ports on Mac or Linux machines because that feature is only available for Windows.
A Great All-In-One Solution for Systems Management!
- Hardware inventory management
- Software inventory management
- Sometimes it will report that systems are missing patches when they are really not.
- I wish it was able to pull warranty details for computers directly instead of having to enter manually.
A great inventory and patch management solution
- System inventory - ManageEngine scans every computer, listing a detailed report of all hardware and software.
- Patch management - Microsoft products and most third party software receive security updates on a regular schedule without user intervention.
- Inconsistent across modules - Some fields cannot be viewed from different modules.
- Reporting could be improved to make it more user-friendly and flexible.
