LogMeIn Central vs ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP [EOL] comparison

"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."

"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"

"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."

"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."

"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."

"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."

"The endpoint management is great."

"Easy to manage and it looks good."

"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 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."

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

"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."

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

"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."

"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"I do not like the antivirus."

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

"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."

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

"Stability is sometimes negatively affected by updates."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"

"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."

"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."

"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."

"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."

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"

"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."

"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."

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

"This product is very cheap compared to others."

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