Reviews from Real Users
PeerSpot user, Sr Engineer Administrator at a university, says that "Its cross-platform capabilities and the ability to do both OS-level patching and third-party patching are valuable. It is difficult to find a software product that will do all that for you out of the box, and you don't have to do any configuration other than your initial setup. Once you do that, there is a very minimalistic approach to getting it operational. You can have it up and running within a 20-minute time span."
Park Armstrong, Chief Technical and Solution Architect at Vertigo Inc., writes that ManageEngine Endpoint Central is “Helpful for identifying and filling the gaps and meeting compliance needs, but each of their product works as an independent product and lacks integration”.
ManageEngine Endpoint Central was previously known as ManageEngine Desktop Central, Desktop Central, ManageEngine Desktop Management MSP.

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Manager - IT at Milliman | 4.0 | We use ManageEngine Endpoint Central primarily for patch management on our 300 Windows servers. Its user-friendly GUI simplifies training, though it lacks Linux support and sometimes misses updates. We complement it with Qualys for scanning reliability. |
| Solutions Consultant at Team Computers | 3.5 | I've found ManageEngine Endpoint Central to be cost-effective, scalable, and ideal for SMBs, though Apple support needs improvement. It's stable, offers good packaging tools for Windows, and suits most needs despite lacking some enterprise-level Apple features. |
| Infrastructure Lead at Dar Global | 4.0 | I use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for endpoint management, including application and device management, which has simplified tasks on 400 devices. While patch management could be streamlined, the solution offers good ROI compared to my previous use of Microsoft Intune. |
| IT Manager at Alpine Creations Ltd | 4.5 | I use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for deploying patch updates and remotely connecting to computers to solve issues. It's user-friendly and reduces IT team workload, though sometimes computers fail to receive patches. Overall, it's better than other solutions I've tried. |
| Deputy Director at Access Healthcare Services Pvt Ltd | 4.5 | I use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for desktop management, benefiting from its vulnerability and patch management features. However, pricing is a concern, as it is higher than competitors. While I see returns like time and cost savings, exact ROI is undisclosed. |
| Director of Information Technology at ST ANNES MATERNITY HOME | 3.5 | Our agency chose ManageEngine Endpoint Central for improved endpoint management, specifically valuing its patch management and remote control features. However, mediocre tech support affects efficiency, and we haven't seen a great ROI despite considering other solutions. |
| Lead IT Security and Remediation at ARM Holdings Company | 4.5 | I primarily use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for patching servers and endpoints. Its most valuable features include effective patching, encryption key access, and comprehensive reporting. However, it needs improvement in Java patch accuracy. I switched from Microsoft's MBAM for reliable reporting. |
| Head of Information Security - CISO at Sukoon Insurance | 4.0 | I use ManageEngine Endpoint Central for its centralized device management and security features, notably patch management and vulnerability scanning. While integration with ERP and CRM tools could improve, its comprehensive dashboard and seamless tool integration are highly valuable. |
