Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus

We use ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus to perform weekly vulnerability scans and identify the computers on our network that need to be upgraded or patched. We deploy all our software updates through ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus and we have set up the product to perform updates to a test group first and then once some time has passed we roll out the updates to the entire network.

Pros

  • It excels in automating the patch management process, including testing and deployment for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • When new vulnerabilities are disclosed, ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus provides immediate, actionable insights to detect affected systems and offers emergency, pre-built patches to mitigate risks instantly.
  • It identifies and helps remove unauthorized or risky software
  • It scans and hardens systems by detecting and fixing misconfigurations

Cons

  • The reporting could be better. Some of the canned reports that get generated are no longer useful. They are too noisy and do not provide succinct information.
  • The patch management process is a bit slow and at times it takes too long to push updates out to large numbers of computers.
  • By automating the scanning, assessment, and patch management process, VMP has helped reduce the time to patch for us by 40%.
  • It has provided continuous visibility into device health and overall patch state. This has helped reduce the amount of time manually checking and updating.
  • By prioritizing the list of vulnerabilities the tool has helped our staff stay focused on the high-impact risks and ensure that critical assets are patched first.
I think overall the product is very user friendly. There are only a few minor areas where the process is a bit more complex than it has to be. The single pane of glass view makes working in the product easy. I can take a look at the entire list of systems and quickly identify those devices that are in need of immediate attention. The reporting is still a little weak, I'd like to be able to create my own custom reports but otherwise it is still useful.

Would you buy ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus again?

Yes

ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus is highly effective for organizations prioritizing ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and a single pane of glass for both vulnerability detection and patching. It is well-suited for organizations needing to manage a diverse, yet traditional, on-premise IT infrastructure (servers, workstations, laptops). It is good at securing remote endpoints by using an agent to scan, detect and patch workstations. It is good for both scanning and remediating vulnerabilities through the built-in patching tools. It is ideal for a smaller to mid sized environment using Active Directory.
