Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ManageEngine Endpoint Central as our primary software for managing security patches on our corporate assets. We needed to automate the patch management process and avoid doing updates manually on hundreds of servers and clients. In addition, we needed to perform patching within a short time of vulnerabilities coming out. Manually we were taking too long. So we searched and found the perfect software for our needs which was ManageEngine Endpoint Central. It helps us quickly update assets by automating most of the actions we used to perform manually. It also has dashboards that quickly allow us to have an eye on the overall situation of our corporate fleet.

Alternatives Considered

SysAid, Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager, powered by Landesk, Pulseway and Automox

We chose ManageEngine Endpoint Central because of the reasonable price and the number of features offered compared to competitors. Many patch management software do not patch Linux machines while ManageEngine Endpoint Central did. Other software did not have the ability to perform pre or post-deploy tasks while ManageEngine Endpoint Central did. For these reasons, we chose this software. In addition, the ease of use, intuitive dashboards, and the ability to also have asset inventory made us decide on this software.

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.
