Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We use ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus mainly for it's content manager. Very helpful to deploy exam files onto iPods, lock them down to single-app and remotely remove the files once the exams finish. User side it's quite simple and easy to follow.


  • Content manager
  • MDM
  • Inventory
  • Documents are sorted by some random order by default, users need to manually select "sort by A-Z", and even by doing so, coming out of documents and back in will reset the order to the random one. Would be amazing if A-Z was default, or if I could find out what this default order was to edit the files accordingly.
  • Playing audio files from the app is approached as if it was a video: if you come out of the app or lock the screen, the audio will stop. Would be great if it could act like music apps and keep playing with locked screen.
Have already mentioned to others in the same industry that ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus is a really good software. We purchased the licenses after a demo and have always been pleased that it hits the spot for what we need it. We have only lately started experimenting adding mobile phones as well, but this means I need to keep in mind when deploying commands as it does mix all devices in the same place. Selecting groups does help
  • Content Manager
  • Remote control and MDM
  • Tracking
  • A lot less time wasted uploading and wiping devices one by one!
The content manager is exactly what we needed

We need a solution to centrally manage and support over 100 mobile devices after previously being all manually maintained which was a organisational nightmare. Our key priority's were to allow asset management, deployment of apps and settings, the ability to remotely configure and support, and to reduce the amount of manual intervention required.
  • Integration with our user system (Windows Active Directory/Azure).
  • An amazing feature which automatically syncs users from our central source so we don't have to do this manually, reducing errors and automating the staff onboarding experience. This also allows groups which we can use to target devices / profiles.
  • Remote control of devices.
  • Being able to remotely screen share and take control of devices allowed us to instantly respond and resolve issues with settings/apps on our users devices without having to bring the devices into the office allowing a quicker resolution of problem and minimising impact to business.
  • Simple Setup
  • The configuration of devices through profiles is incredibly easy to do, yet flexible with numerous options we can enable. The best feature ultimately is the simplicity. You just select the options you want without having to select 10 other required settings.
  • Responsive support.
  • On a few occasions we had some issues (down to user error) we were able to joing live chat with support and within a matter of minutes they were able to show us where we went wrong before anyone noticed the mistake.
  • Remote control (for android) requires user intervention at the device. They need to allow access from a notification. It would be useful for some of our kiosks to be able to do this unsupervised.
  • Showing a devices previous locations could be better shown together on a single map. At present it shows a single location which you can go to previous locations.
An amazing solution for an organisation of up to 25 devices as they offer a free subscription. You could use this to trial the product at your organisation.

The perfect fit for any size of organisation with the software being simple enough for non-technical staff to be able to deploy and manage devices.

  • Integration with Active Directory
  • Remote Control functionality
  • Location Tracking / Lost Mode
  • Significant reduction in the time for configuring new devices when changing mobile contracts
  • Reduction in the time to resolve issues from hours to minutes

We needed a solution to manage all of our 200+ company cell phones. We were using a competing application, but the cost could not justify the features we required. ManageEngine MDM Plus not only came in at the right price point but had a feature set that included most of what we wanted and little of what we didn't need. We currently use the application to geo track devices, content filtering, and manage mobile applications.
  • Geo tracking: once the mobile app is installed, the phone checks in to our cloud management console and we can ping the location of the device easily.
  • Lost/stolen device: when a device is lost or stolen, we can make the phone make a sounds to help in finding it or perform a complete wipe to remove any sensitive data.
  • App management: they make it easy to add mobile apps that can automatically be pushed out to all of the managed devices. It is easy to control what apps you want to have immediately installed, apps you want to make available, or apps you want to block.
  • Email enrollment: the e-mail enrollment option for devices is inconsistent, and this is an area that would seem like an easy fix. In most of the cases where we've tried to enroll devices via email, the text is incredibly small and the hyperlinks are either not visible or not easily clickable unless you zoom in a lot. When requiring staff the enroll their own device, you essentially have to rely on the SMS enrollment option.
  • SMS enrollment credits: the option for SMS enrollment actually works great. However, where it needs to be improved is how the credits are provisioned. There is no way to actually purchase additional credits. When you first sign up for ManageEngine MDM Plus, you are given a set amount of credits. Once those run out, it is a huge pain to try to obtain more. It should be possible to be able to simply order additional credits.
  • Management console interface: the management console has a lot of excellent features, but the design has a lot of room for improvement. The navigation menus are a little confusing. For example, areas for enrollment, inventory, and device management all have lists of managed devices, but each has different information. It should be easy to simply click on a device and tell whether it's already been enrolled, etc. without the need for jumping around separate pages.
  • Client user management: when you enroll a device via an end-user, you must add a user ID and email address. If you ever want to update those, you can't. Further, you can't seem to be able to delete users altogether. When employees leave and new ones are hired, phone numbers tend to get flipped around. This has caused a few headaches in enrolling/removing devices.
As far as MDM solutions go, this one does all of the main features you would need. The price point is extremely competitive, but with that, there are areas for improvement. ManageEngine MDM Plus is well suited for small businesses that want to easily manage their devices and be able to track them. It may not be as well suited if you have more than a couple hundred devices and go through a lot of user and device changes.
  • Positive: we've been able to locate lost devices. Even finding just 1 or 2 devices saves a few hundred dollars for us in equipment replacement costs.
  • Negative: have end-users enroll their devices has not been a very smooth process. It has taken a lot of patience and time on the IT side. Out of our about 200 devices, it has taken us about 4 months with two staff working to enroll devices.
MaaS360 is very comparable and was the solution we had in place prior to moving to ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus. I've also used MaaS360 at a prior position, and it does work fairly well. I believe they have very similar feature sets (at least what I recall from last using MaaS360), but ultimately for us, it came down to the price point.

We have roughly 200 staff members in all different departments that have a company-issued cell phone. These users range from corporate management, sales, to equipment technicians. All company phones have the ManageEngine MDM application installed, which is managed by 3 IT staff members.
3
Our IT department manages the application. To manage the solution an intermediate knowledge of cell phone/other mobile devices is necessary, as well as an understanding of other networking concepts (in order to set up device profiles).
  • Device location.
  • Remote wipe/reset.
  • Manage applications.
  • There are ways to integrate with manufacturers to make the enrollment process much more convenient and less involved (such as KNOX Mobile Enrollment and Google Zero Touch) that we are considering.
We would be very likely to renew unless there were unforeseen changes to our budget.
