"Google is always on its own. Google Cloud Identity is pretty good on every point."
"The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"One of the most useful features was the single sign-on. You can use it as an identity provider or service provider. And you can use their organization unit feature to enable or disable some of the features for a specific group of users."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable in Desktop Central is the way it is tightly coupled with the rest of the modules and the entire gamut of ManageEngine."
"The patch management aspect of the solution is the most valuable part for us."
"The patch manager is good, and it's easy to use."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"Identification of gaps and filling the gaps with updates are most valuable. We are able to identify known updates or missing updates and then update."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central's most valuable features are remote desktop control and image management. We can send things out from the desk here, it is a very good tool for us."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central automatically alerts you if there are newer releases or updates. You do not have to go to their website and check."
"One of the benefits of Desktop Central is it made the provisioning process simpler because now we have a provisioning package. We have around 1,500 laptops at the moment and all these PCs were provisioned by a provisioning package. In the provisioning package, we have integrated every aspect of renaming, deploying applications, patching, etc., so we simply execute the provisioning package and as soon as it's executed, it will install the management agent. Once the agent is installed, it will take care of all the tasks, so we don't have to sit in front of the computer to prepare the machine. This really helps us to provision the PC quickly with our agent."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"The one place it could be improved is the password vaulting. The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Technical support is slow."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"The team I've currently got is not using it particularly well, due to the fact that they don't know how to use it particularly well. They've not done any training and so on."
"I would like to see them come out with a SaaS version of the product in the future."
"Improvement of the chats on the web communication through the WAN would be helpful."
"Their support channel could be better. They're an India-based company. They're based out of India. So, here in the States, support can be difficult when you're dealing with time zone requirements. A more global support channel would be a wise choice for them."
"There are no dynamic changes on web pages and it's lacking visually."
"The solution lacks some configuration."
"The OS deployment could be better."
"Desktop Central has very good information, however, you can't customize the dashboards."
