LogMeIn Central vs ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP [EOL] comparison

"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."

"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."

"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."

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

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

"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."

"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."

"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."

"Easy to manage and it looks good."

"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."

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

"The endpoint management is great."

"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."

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

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

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"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."

"I do not like the antivirus."

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

"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."

"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."

"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."

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

"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."

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

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

"This product is very cheap compared to others."

"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."
