Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine Application Control Plus

We have several applications within the department that require admin rights to run them. We wanted to eliminate most if not all of the admin within the department excluding some in IS. We are near the end of the project and we have eliminated nearly 90% of the admins. I would say this was a win!

Pros

  • Console built well and easy to understand
  • Support is awesome
  • Pulls in the exe information so that it is easy to allow the application to be ran as an admin

Cons

  • The agent on the endpoint will sometimes fail to install or it will get corrupted. Nothing in the console that we can find tells us that there is an issue
  • Create an agent that also works with the other products that you sell. If we have more than one product there is a chance that it may not work
  • I really do not have a 3rd. This is a really good product
  • This product will help us better secure our environment. That alone is a huge cost savings
  • We have allowed users that were admins to still be able to install some software on their endpoints without having admin rights on the whole endpoint
  • This product has woke up some in the department to look for applications that do not require admin rights.
Extremely easy to use. Once we had a good idea of how it worked we had it up and running in about 2 weeks. It did take us nearly 9 months to get it installed and fully operational on all users endpoints that needed it. My admin on the team that runs the software loves it.
ME has many more applications that are in the database that will work. The cost was also much cheaper that is until we confronted the other vendor about us finding another product. At that point it was too late. We own other ME products and have found success in all of them.

Yes

Would you buy ManageEngine Application Control Plus again?

Yes

It works great if you want to run an application as an admin. We did find out that it will not work, or at least we cannot get it to work for users that need to change the IP address on their endpoint to connect to a traffic light. So far those users are still admins until we can figure it out.
