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

"The most valuable features are patch management and mobile device management."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."

"The pricing for ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is reasonable."

"The integration with both Linux and Microsoft systems is seamless."

"It is a highly stable solution."

"The automated patch deployment feature is really helpful. I can schedule it anytime, even on weekends, without needing to restart systems. The centralized management and unified console are great. It shows me which PCs are out of date or which users are breaching our policies. I can test patches before deploying them."

"It does not restart unexpectedly, allowing automation anytime, even during weekends."

More ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus pros

"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."

"Its enhanced support for iOS and Windows devices has been particularly beneficial, expanding our service offerings to customers with diverse device environments."

Cons

"There are limitations to this solution when we are working with iOS, Apple laptops or desktops such as the Mac and iMac."

"I think ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus could improve its testing capabilities. If they could test different SQL versions and server versions in their sandbox, it would be better. For example, it didn't work well with Server 2012, but it works fine with 2016 and up."

"I experienced issues with server 2012, which required an upgrade to 2016 for better functionality before moving to Azure."

"The tool's support needs improvement."

"The user interface of ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus needs to be made more user-friendly, simplified, and less complicated."

"The solution's UI is an area that requires improvement."

"I find the user interface a little bit intimidating and not very appealing."

"Patching over the Internet should be improved."

More ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus cons

"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

"Its price needs improvement."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and the charge for support is extra."

"The solution cost is around $5,000 per year."

"The price of this product is reasonable."

"I rate the price of the product a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Patch Manager is cost-effective."

"ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus is a little bit cheaper."

"I rate the product price a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
