The product works perfectly for patch management and software deployments. The tool makes the lives of its users easier, and allows us to deploy any software, like the deployment of Zscaler on our company's machines. The product's most beneficial feature for IT security posture stems from the patch updates give clear visibility of which machines are installed or missing with the important crucial patches. The product has streamlined application management because it gives me the list of applications in my network. I get clear visibility using ManageEngine Endpoint Central's software summary report if there is an anti-virus product network and if I need to find out the machines on which it is deployed. The product is very easy to maintain if you know about the solution. My company does not integrate ManageEngine Endpoint Central with any other products. ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a cost-effective product. If you are someone who looks at areas like automation and deployment and feels the need to have the correct type of reports, then ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a good product. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We're an ManageEngine partner. I'm likely using version 13. It would be the version they released last year that we are working with. It's the best product. It's a solution that has all the features you will ever need to manage all the endpoints in your company. It has everything you will imagine, and it's simple to manage, it's simple to install, and once you install it, it will work on its own, and you can reduce the manpower required. You may have needed ten administrators before, yet, with this, now you only will use two due to the automated remote control software pushing and patching. All can be done on a single console remotely. You reduce the workload and free up people. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten based on its many features and its low learning curve. You can become a good admin within a month or two just by using it and checking the menus.

If I re-implement it today, I'd strongly consider a cloud-based infrastructure instead of on-premise. It is solid. It is a legacy technology, and it has been around forever. It does what it does. It is complicated, but it works. It is not brilliant, but it is highly functional. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We are using a previous version of the solution. It's not the latest version. The most important thing, when you're looking at any product, is to make sure you've clearly defined what you're trying to achieve and do, and then go through what it can and can't do for you to make sure you get a good fit. That's the advice I'd give to anyone considering implementing it. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I've been pleased with its potential capabilities so far.

I would advise any organization that wants to implement Manage Engine to pick the right components of Manage Engine during the design stage itself, such as Patch Manager or Mobile Desk Manager, and then go ahead with the implementation. I would rate it a seven out of 10.

Desktop Central is easy to deploy, manage, and integrate with other ManageEngine products. I would recommend it to anyone managing a computing environment - it's a complete product for all sizes of enterprise, and it's ready to be deployed straight out of the box. I would score it as nine out of ten.

I'm a customer and an end-user. Currently, we are using on-prem. I am waiting for SaaS, however, I really don't have the SaaS version. It'll be very good if they offer a SaaS version; my manageability will become very much easier. If you're looking for third-party patch management, asset management, and/or remote control support, then this is the best app. For remote control, it doesn't require much bandwidth. Often, people sitting in a remote location are using their 3G data cards or mobile data, mobile phone, and they still got connected with the seamless connectivity. There has been no issue. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

ManageEngine Desktop Central is a product that's worth the money. It's easy to install and quicker in action. If you start installing the product today, in a small environment, you will be able to deploy the application in two hours. I rate ManageEngine a seven out of ten. They have a lot of improvements to make.

We are customers and end-users. From Manage Engine, we're using just the Desktop Central and the Log 360. Desktop Central does not happen to be the MSP. We are using version 10.1.2119. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the solution to others. I would advise users to keep looking into other options. I'd rate the solution at a four out of ten. We haven't been very happy overall.

We are just a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the product. We are using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure which version number we have. In general, I would recommend the solution. I'd rate it nine out of ten overall, however, I hope that in the future, they improve their integration capabilities.

My advice is that if they don't have a product to control the software that users have installed on their PCs, then this is a very good tool. However, beyond a certain number of users, they have to buy it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Overall, given the capabilities of Desktop Central, it is one of the best endpoint management solutions and it can cater to most of the operating systems in a client's environment, through a single portal.

My advice to people looking into this solution is that if you want to improve on the patching processes as a part of a DevSecOps pipeline, Desktop Central can help you do that. It will help you make that workflow easier and it is a better option than other solutions. So this works out to be a better because everything is built-in. You do not have to integrate with any other company's portal or any other incident management or tracking. If you plan for a patch, there are different tools to use, different notifications to set for the patch, and they can be administered within Desktop Central itself. So the admin can approve it and once the notification changes, the patch can be released to the endpoints. That works pretty fast. That built-in workflow makes it more productive and easier to use. On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Desktop Central higher than the VMware and Citrix Workspaces. The workflows are much better and easier, and the different roles for IT and Ops are well defined. So I would rate somewhere around seven. It is a seven because it still has got some room for improvement, but I think seven is good.

Some times, when adding new programs to Desktop Central, it can be somewhat costly. I say be prepared to be able to spend some money. We asked to pay for several years at a time to lower the long term cost.
