Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Using ManageEngine Endpoint Central helped us managed a decentralized computer network while our employees work from home or from different locations in Europe, where the networks are not centralized. Having full management over the computers as OS deployments, controlled updates and remote deployments eases our job in the IT department - leaving us time to focus on other important things.
  • Remote Software deployment
  • Remote OS updates
  • Remote configuration deployments
  • Remote OS deployments
  • Good pricing
  • Better customer support.
  • Complex steps and menu ambiguity.
  • Missing configuration options for Windows
  • Missing MacOS configuration features vs Windows
  • Managing mixed OS environments from one console
  • Managing hybrid and different geo-located offices with ease
  • Configuration/Deployment granularity
  • Great integration with Windows OS
  • Can reduce the number of IT staff or outsourced personal as a result of the managed automation.
  • Uniformity and compliance policy applied across offices.
  • A tool that helps in org-wide security hardening
We had 3 key points in mind on our market research when selected the MDM solution. This where: Best integration across multiple OS vendors; Ease of use of the management console; Licensing model per endpoint and agents. If we were to have a Windows only environment, then Microsoft Endpoint Manager would be the best solution. If the environment would have been exclusively MacOS then Kandji where an option. But for our mixed OS environment we have chosen ManageEngine Endpoint Central.

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.
