AdeolaEkunola - PeerSpot reviewer
A quite straightforward solution that works easily with different operating systems
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. When the use of the solution for customers grows, there is a need for more endpoints, and it may grow up to 500 endpoints, and the solution's use may even be scaled up further. It is possible to do what is needed to scale up the solution for the IT environments of any of our company's customers. Before scaling up, one needs to buy the license and consider the IT architecture to see if there are any modifications required in the solution. Around three of my company's customers who manage enterprise-sized businesses with a minimum requirement of 700 endpoints at least use the solution.

An MDM solution for controlling and restricting data on devices
Everyone is using high-end devices, such as mobile devices. If they lose their devices, how about the data copied to other devices? Once the device is lost, you can remotely delete all of the data and block the device, preventing anyone from using or reusing it. This will keep your devices secure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You can create remote sessions for client systems."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"The fetch repository is a good feature."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus covers almost all my end devices, and I can easily look over my device's hardware status."
"The solution's technical support is top-notch. Whenever I have a question, they get back to me immediately, which is probably one of the best features of the solution's technical support."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is centralized management."
"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."
"Scalefusion is easy to use, and they have a broad knowledge base, so you can quickly find answers if you're unsure how to do something. The articles on the knowledge base are well-written, with clear steps on what to do for a specific scenario. That part is well documented."
 

Cons

"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus needs to improve speed."
"The only area for improvement in ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus, which I noticed, is the reporting."
"The tool's support needs improvement."
"If a report shows that testing did not work for one version but succeeds for another, a comparison would be beneficial."
"The cloud version should have option to add all the endpoints using the agent. Not only for Windows, but also the Linux version. There are some versions which are not compatible with SaaS Manager. So some customers do not want to use the latest version of Linux latest version of CentOS. Actually, CentOS is not available. But some are using and patch manager is compatible for some versions only, not older older versions. So there are some pros and cons that are referred to patch management."
"They should add better features for managing hardware."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward, and we have to customize it with our relevant features."
"One area for improvement could be streamlining permissions during initial device setup, especially for corporate-owned devices, to reduce manual user interaction and expedite deployment."
"It could be easier to put devices on the blocklist. I would like the ability to block a device with a click of a button. Currently, we have to sift through different groups to block a device. It would be nice if Scalefusion allowed me to block without moving the device to a different profile. Another helpful feature they could add is the ability to migrate from one MDM to another. I'd also appreciate more extensive cloud storage. They give you 1 GB by default, but sometimes that's not enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and the charge for support is extra."
"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a little bit cheaper."
"I rate the price of the product a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing for ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is on the moderate side."
"Patch Manager is cost-effective."
"Its price needs improvement."
"The price of this product is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
