Endpoint Central (UEM Edition 500 computers and Single User)

What do you like best about the product?

Endpoint Central gives us a lot of functionality in one product. Imaging computers and installing Windows updates has become much easier. The ability to install BIOS updates is also useful.

We like that we can give users admin access to specific apps when needed without having to give them full admin rights on the computer.

Software deployment is relatively easy. There a quite a lot of predefined software packages. Creating our own software packages isn't too difficult.

We have found managing BitLocker is much easier than group policy and auto rotation of the BitLocker keys is useful.

Dex has been very helpful in tracking down computer issues. It has allowed us to be more proactive on issues rather than waiting for end users to report on problems.

The inventory tracking has saved us quite a bit of time over our previous tools. It has pulled in all necessary information, including warranty dates, without having to manually create any custom fields.

Lastly the interface is easy to use, and we have found it very responsive.

What do you dislike about the product?

The OS deployment feature hasn't been integrated with the software deployment feature. That means either creating software packages in two places or installing software to an imaged computer as a second step once finished.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Endpoint Central is helping with inventory tracking for both hardware and software. While we haven't implemented it yet, we intend to use the DLP and USB storage access features. The Threats & Patches module helps improve security.

What do you like best about the product?

I find the ease of use of ManageEngine Endpoint Central to be one of the best aspects of the product. Despite the many features it offers, it's not hard to find exactly what I'm looking for. The initial setup was very easy, and within a few hours, I started deploying it through Group Policy. Also, it ensures devices receive patches and alerts upon failure, helping us remain compliant with our accreditations.

What do you dislike about the product?

Some menu items could be in a different section. While it's easy to navigate, you'll find some menu items in a different section than you'd expect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Endpoint Central is able to do remoting into devices, 3rd party app patches, and queries for device information.

What do you like best about the product?

Manage Engine Endpoint Central is one of the best tools for managing end-user assets because it provides multiple features in a single console. For example, if users are facing an issue and I need to take a remote connection, that option is available. If I need to encrypt the disk space used by users, that is also available. I can push patches, install software, and prevent the installation of unauthorized software as well, all within Endpoint Central.

What do you dislike about the product?

In Endpoint Central, the patch deployment feature sometimes disappoints me. The main reason is that when I deploy a patch, it can take a huge amount of time. On some systems the patch deploys successfully, but other times it takes an unusually long time to complete.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For remote control, patch deployment, OS deployment, software deployment, asset management, and disk encryption, we were using multiple software tools and licenses. We needed all of these features in a single console, which is why we chose Endpoint Central. After configuring Endpoint Central, it has helped us a lot and has made our job much easier.

What do you like best about the product?

Easyness of use and intuitive interface.

What do you like best about the product?

In my experience, it’s one of the best tools for managing endpoint assets. In Endpoint Central, I use several great features such as Remote Control, BitLocker, Software Deployment, OS Deployment, and Patch Deployment. I especially like the Software Deployment feature because it lets me deploy software within a minute, and it also helps me prevent unauthorized software.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I disliked is that sometimes, when I try to take remote access, it takes a long time and shows “requesting agent.” If I disconnect and try again, it usually works properly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my organization, we have multiple branches and more than 200 end users. When users need any software or face issues, we support them through AnyDesk or UltraViewer. However, patch updates and OS-level deployments aren’t possible with those applications, so we needed a proper endpoint management tool. That’s why we purchased Manage Engine Endpoint Central.

What do you like best about the product?

It provides centralized management of endpoints, enabling patch management, software deployment, remote troubleshooting, and security enforcement from a single console.

What do you dislike about the product?

The interface can feel complex for new users, and some advanced configurations come with a learning curve before you can fully utilize the platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

ManageEngine Endpoint Central helps address endpoint management challenges by bringing patch management, software deployment, asset tracking, and remote support into one centralized platform. By reducing manual effort, it supports stronger security compliance and saves time, making it easier to manage all devices efficiently from a single place.

What do you like best about the product?

ManageEngine Endpoint Central support has been very helpful when troubleshooting issues. What I appreciate most is that they are willing to review logs and investigate the problem instead of immediately pointing the finger at Microsoft or another vendor. That approach makes the support process feel more collaborative and productive, and it helps us get closer to the actual root cause instead of wasting time going in circles.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes an Endpoint Central update can unexpectedly break certain features, such as remote control. This has happened before where the issue turned out to be related to the agent, and the recommended fix was to reinstall the agent on the client machine.

The challenge is that many of our clients are offsite, and we rely on Endpoint Central specifically for remote support. So when the remote control feature is impacted and the fix requires reinstalling the agent locally, it creates a difficult situation. It would be helpful if agent repair or recovery options were more reliable and easier to perform remotely.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

ManageEngine Endpoint Central helps us with auto patching and remote control, which are very useful for managing endpoints and supporting users remotely.

However, for software deployment, I do not feel it can fully replace PDQ Deploy yet. The experience has been inconsistent for us. For example, earlier today I tried to install Adobe Reader on a PC through the self-service portal, but the installation failed. This has been an on-and-off issue for a long time.

Overall, Endpoint Central is beneficial for patching and remote support, but I would like to see software deployment become more reliable and consistent.
