|---|---|---|
| IT Helpdesk at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I implemented ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus to enhance endpoint-centric vulnerability management. Its effective patch management increased scan frequency from four times a year to monthly. However, integration with third-party solutions and asset discovery could be improved. |
| Senior IT Specialist (SAP & Infrastructure) at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I have experience using ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus, a comprehensive and customizable tool. It excels in incident and service request management, though its contract management needs improvement. Its pricing is more reasonable than other software I've considered. |
| Senior Manager at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | I use ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus to patch and monitor server vulnerabilities efficiently. The solution's strong vulnerability assessment and automated fixes reduce false alerts and response time, though it would benefit from an updated user interface and broader Linux support. |
I worked in an integrator solution company, and we implemented ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus for different clients/customers.
There were two distinct projects for two different customers, each with unique use cases. The primary usage was focused on endpoint-centric solutions, aiming to remediate all vulnerabilities on endpoints using ManageEngine.
The most valuable feature was the patch management, which was very effective for endpoint-centric solutions requiring remediation of vulnerabilities.
ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus was the perfect fit for managing these requirements. We improved the number of scans and patches performed from four times per year per computer to four times per month.
The integration with third-party solutions such as ticketing solutions or CMDB solutions can be improved. The asset discovery phase could be simplified if it could integrate with CMDB or MDM solutions.
I have used ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus for about a year.
The solution is scalable, managing approximately 3,000 assets, and is a business-grade solution.
I would rate the customer service at seven out of ten. The support is only available in English, which created a language barrier for a non-native English-speaking team.
Neutral
Prior to ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus, the customer used another solution that only allowed scanning and patching four times a year per computer.
The initial setup was straightforward. That said, it required careful planning, especially regarding integration with Active Directory and deploying the agent to computers.
The deployment involved two admin solution managers for ManageEngine, alongside customer-side admins. The team consisted of three or four members in total.
We observed a significant improvement in the frequency of scanning and patching, increasing from four scans per year to four scans per month.
ManageEngine is considered an affordable solution, offering competitive pricing compared to similar solutions like Utopia, which was more expensive.
During the evaluation, Utopia was compared with ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus. While Utopia had a virtual patching feature that ManageEngine lacked, the significant price difference did not justify the additional cost.
For the particular use case, I rate ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus ten out of ten.
I have experience with ManageEngine, currently using it in my company.
Over two years, ManageEngine has been fantastic and broad, offering a lot in terms of features.
ManageEngine is a comprehensive tool that is broad and can be customized to fit specific needs. The incident management system and the service request feature are especially useful. I have been using it for over two years, and it is fantastic. It offers a lot, even if we haven't utilized all features like change management or problem Manager.
One area that needs improvement is the contract management. My legal team required some partner requirements for that, and ManageEngine could not support it.
I have been using ManageEngine since 2022, which is over two years now.
There have been no vulnerability or stability issues. Personally, I never encountered any, though maybe our support partner did.
I am a hundred percent satisfied with what I have. On local support, I would rate them a nine.
Positive
I tried out another incident management software, however, the pricing was way too high, unlike ManageEngine.
The initial setup was straightforward and easy.
I have a local support partner who is a licensed partner of ManageEngine.
ManageEngine comes with high cost, however, it is relatively less pricey compared to other solutions.
I would rate the overall solution nine on a scale of one to ten. It's a great tool, though we are not utilizing all features like change management or contract management.
We use the solution to patch our servers. We also use it to monitor and fix vulnerabilities.
The patch management has been very smooth. It has reduced deployment time. The solution has reduced a lot of work hours. There's a lot of automation available. The tool also gives us access to third-party updates. We don't have to use multiple solutions. Through a single platform, we can deliver and cover our entire infrastructure.
The vulnerability assessment is great. We can use it to fix all the vulnerabilities before we get them from our internal security team. It reduces a lot of false alerts. We have an option for a manual fix and an automatic fix. It clearly distinguishes what can be done by an automatic fix, which the tool can do, and what needs manual intervention. The tool gives us the steps to fix it.
The automated vulnerability fixes, test deployment of patches, and the baselines are valuable. We can set a baseline or whatever we recommend and ensure the systems adhere to the baseline. The solution helps us figure out vulnerabilities and fix them. It's not an active threat-hunting tool. We use the asset management capabilities in our service desk platform. It is really good. It is beneficial since we can fix vulnerabilities.
The reporting feature has helped us in compliance and risk management. We can have custom reports. I can schedule reports. We must find baselines and accordingly use them to fix some of our requirements. The solution has reduced our response time to critical vulnerabilities. We have a patching window. The tool has enabled us to get all our machines in a compliant state.
The user interface is the only drawback of the product. The user interface must be more fluid and interactive. In this age, we get customizable and lightweight pages. The designer that one of our team managers has is pretty old. The product must support different versions of Linux, like Azure Linux and Amazon Linux.
I have been using the solution for more than one year.
The tool is stable.
The tool is scalable. We use the product for around 5000 assets. We have three to five administrators to manage the solution.
The support we get from ManageEngine is good.
Positive
The initial setup is straightforward. To deploy the product, we deploy the agent on the machines. We can discover it from the AD. It automatically works. We took three to four days to deploy the tool. There is very minimum maintenance.
I see an ROI on the product.
The price is very reasonable. It is quite cheap compared to other tools. It differs for every organization.
I will recommend the solution to others. It's a nice tool to use. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
