Endpoint Central and your done

ME has been great, and the support is very helpful. We once were rolling out a fleet of new machines to replace old ones, support was happy to help extend licenses for shortterm without entering or changing the contract.

Pros:

Manage Engine makes managing, support and patching clients very easy, and the new application control is very good for blocking apps you need to keep users away from. The selfservice is also great for saving time and money in support environments.

Cons:

Mac support is only OK; it doesn't offer any kind of remote console as it does for Windows, but I feel this is more a limitation on Apple than it is on ME.

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Best support matching our requirements and outstanding remote access. Also, it offers a self-service portal for users making common software simple and cutting down on service requests.

Good value at a lower price point

It's a powerful tool that comes at a lower price point which offsets some of the older interface and appearances. Whilst it feels a bit disconnected at times and not always intuitive, it provides a lot of power and control when set up correctly; using functionality such as deploying custom scripts and configurations to endpoints and deploying packages and OS' based on varying different filters and context.

Functionality

Pros:

It's affordable and provides a lot of utility for its lower price point. Device management and endpoint configuration, OS deployment and self-service software portal are some of the greater features we utilise in our org

Cons:

It feels unpolished and sometimes the terminology and features don't align with the functionality they provide; eg interfaces can feel a bit basic; the functionality you might get to align with accreditation and audits might differ in terminology so it can be less intuitive when completing RFPs etc. Another gripe is all of the additional packages and suites that seem to be included and hooked in, offering extra functionality but locked behind additional subscriptions and costs.

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

The cost associated was not manageable for our budget at the time and continues to remain so

Not a fit for small to mid tier businesses.

It was a good experience, though the UI was a little outdated when compared to others. We did like all of the options they had and that if covered everything we would need. This issue was that though it did everything, it wasn't the best at it all. Just good.

Pros:

We left Manage Engine due to pricing. We found an alternative that did the same, for free at the tier we needed.

Cons:

Pricing structure. If you are a smaller business, or one like us who is "lean" and does not have as many employees it doesn't make financial sense to pay this much for the capabilities they offer.

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

NinjaOne is just a hodge podge of other products. They offer remote control, but they outsource this to Teamviewer and just integrate with their platform. They offer Antivirus, but it is outsourced to your choice (BitDefender, etc). That is not neccessarily bad, but I personally like everything under one umbrella.

Reasons for switching to ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Cost and support. Teamviewer is a great product, but their support is extremely slow to respond and very unprofessional in their assistance.

Easy to use all in one endpoint management server

Endpoint central is an all in one product and it is the most useful i've ever had. In addition, the price is really low for what it does, support included. I am very happy to have only one console to manage my mobile devices, my computers, servers. The patch management is efficient, the configuration works perfectly, the tools are very useful, and the MDM (apart of its little issues) is really easy to set up. I did not try to replace my wsus with it yet, but it's in my plans.

Pros:

I was really happy to have a real reactive and helpful support when i was having trouble while using the product. Moreover, the software is really easy to use and easy to deploy on your infrastructure. It offers a lot of helpful tools and replace a lot of softwares and solutions with only one

Cons:

There is kind of often some little bugs or the agent installed on the endpoints just.. disappears. But it's not as common as the little bugs, so nothing really annoying here.

Pros:

Patch Management is accurate and effective. The dashboard is also simple and informative. Very easy to work with.

Cons:

1. I wish it could integrate more seamlessly with ServiceDesk and OpManager and provide a single point of access and dashboarding.

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

1. Easy to use and simply works as advertised. 2. We do not struggle to uninstall it. It does not behave like a "sticky, stink bug".

ManageEngine - Endpoint Central review

In my experience, ManageEngine Endpoint Central has made it much easier to keep our entire device environment under control. Whether I’m managing desktops, laptops, servers, or mobile devices across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, having everything centralized in one place has been a game‑changer. The automated patching, streamlined software deployment, detailed asset tracking, built‑in remote support, and strong security controls have significantly reduced the amount of manual work and helped me maintain a consistent, secure environment.

Pros:

its broad feature set for endpoint control, patch automation, configuration, and remote troubleshooting. Also the following key features - Automated Patch Management, Security & Threat Protection and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)

Cons:

Complex Licensing Structure Several features are licensed separately, leading to confusion and potential cost concerns—especially for large organizations.

Reasons for choosing ManageEngine Endpoint Central

I chose ManageEngine because its overall offering stands out compared to other vendors I evaluated. In my experience, it’s a well‑rounded platform that covers the majority of our operational needs without requiring multiple separate tools. That balance of functionality, reliability, and completeness made it the right fit for our environment.
