LogMeIn Central vs ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP [EOL] comparison

"The alerts are helpful."

"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."

"​The initial setup was simple."

"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."

"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."

"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."

"The endpoint management is great."

"Easy to manage and it looks good."

"ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has different features and it uses one agent to execute the features of the application. In this case, the remote control, distribution software, deployment, patch management, and configuration in different systems. ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has multi-platforms. They have recently implemented new features, such as endpoint security that incorporates vulnerability management and browser security."

"The solution is easy to understand. For example, when you remoting to the user's system, you don't have that option to only log in. On this product, you are connecting to the user's computer, it prompts you for what you want to do. You can select that you want to assist the user. The user on the other side will receive a prompt stating that there is someone trying to connect to your system, they can accept or decline the connection. Overall, the solution is easy to connect to the user's system."

"The features that I have found most valuable are the threats and patches element of it. We have done quite a lot of testing compared to other vendors with identifying the vulnerabilities. This means a lot more accuracy in terms of the patches and making sure it's all up to date."

"The most valuable feature was the patching system to apply Windows or other programs and the ability to install operating systems in computers using the network. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"The interface is intuitive, easy to use, and has a low learning curve."

"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"

"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."

"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."

"I do not like the antivirus."

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."

"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"Since this is an on-premise solution we had to update it a couple of times, and because we needed to use a command line to the server, it was not very easy, at least at that time to update the solution. The cloud version of this solution does not have this problem, but on the premise version, it was fairly cumbersome to apply to the Desktop Central server. This process could be made easier. This was the only issue I found with my colleague."

"Although they say it is an enterprise solution, we don't have 24/seven human support. All we have is only 24/five support available from the vendor."

"Stability is sometimes negatively affected by updates."

"The partnership models and subscriptions can be improved, as regional master resellers sometimes hog the space."

"I have found ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has many different network issues. Additionally, they need to incorporate more features, they are lacking add-ons."

"When there is a new user at a store, for example, you have to create it in the ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP AD but the process could be better. They call us with the user's information but if it was possible for them to populate the information when they log the user on IM, and when clicking on ADManager in the system, the information could populate there. We would then only have to add a little more information which would save time."

"Right now, ManageEngine is a separate solution. It doesn't integrate with Intune, AirWatch, or MobileIron in the cloud."

"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."

"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."

"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."

"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."

"ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP is a less expensive solution than competitors in Latin America."

"This product is very cheap compared to others."

"This product has an easy setup, good support, and a good price."

"When we sold the solution to one customer, we found out the customer found out that one of their requirements was not being solved because the license only applies to five computers. We all thought at the time the current license that the customer bought covers the 600 computers because of this problem, the license model could be explained better and could be further improved."
