You cant go wrong as an MSP or in-house IT." — 5.0/5 > **Dominique** | *06 April 2026* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tools\! While there are a huge number of addons, the base UEM software is loaded with tools. Remote management with EPC is one of the more powerful remote management software's I have ever used. > > **Cons**: Heavily accented service/support. Support can be very difficult to understand\! On one of my last calls with a support rep, I had to constantly ask her to repeat herself. > > Overall, EPC has Huge Bang for the Buck\! The user experience navigating the software is good as well. ----- ### "ManageEngine Endpoint Central Review: Solid All-in-One Endpoint Management at a Reasonable Price" — 5.0/5 > **Ryno** | *15 April 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using ManageEngine Endpoint Central for a couple of years now, and it serves as a powerful central platform to manage all our endpoint needs — from Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops to mobile devices — with straightforward deployment, automated patching, software distribution, and comprehensive endpoint management. It offers easy zero-touch enrollment, flexible device configuration, and seamless integration with multiple third-party tools, making it highly efficient for our IT team. Best of all, it delivers enterprise-grade features at a significantly more reasonable price compared to competitors like Microsoft Intune or Ivanti, providing excellent value for money without compromising on functionality. > > **Cons**: On the downside, not all modules tie in with one another as smoothly as expected, and some workflows feel disconnected or require extra steps that don’t always make logical sense. The interface can also feel overwhelming with too many tabs and settings, reporting customization is somewhat limited, and occasional agent or deployment issues need manual troubleshooting or support. > > Overall, Endpoint Central remains a solid, cost-effective choice for centralized endpoint management if you can work around the occasional module integration quirks. ----- ### "Potential, but a lot more follow through needed." — 3.0/5 > **Garrett** | *14 May 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: We can see it has a lot of potential capabilities, it can be a very well rounded product, but we need better training on use. > > **Cons**: We have found that the explanations of functions are not well described in software and not intuitive. ----- ### "Transforming IT Operations through Automation: A 6-Year Journey with Endpoint Central" — 5.0/5 > **Samet** | *23 March 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: After using Endpoint Central for over 6 years at Kale Group, the most impressive aspect is its ability to decentralize IT support through the Self-Service Portal (SSP). To put it into perspective with hard data: in our environment, the SSP alone has handled 25,983 service tickets autonomously, resulting in a total time saving of 174 days. Beyond the SSP, the granular control we have over automated patch deployment and our library of 100+ custom automation configurations has transformed our operations from reactive to proactive. The ability to push complex software deployments and OS patches across diverse domains with high success rates is a cornerstone of our infrastructure's stability. > > **Cons**: The interface is extremely feature-rich, which is great for power users but can be overwhelming for new technicians. Also, while the reporting engine is powerful, customizing SQL-based reports sometimes requires a deeper level of expertise than expected. However, considering the breadth of the ManageEngine ecosystem, these are minor trade-offs for the level of visibility and control you gain. > > As a Senior System \& Cloud Engineer, my journey with Endpoint Central has seen us move from manual, siloed processes to a fully automated lifecycle management. The Value for Money is evident when you look at the $16.7k+ cost savings just from ticket reduction—and that’s not even counting the man-hours saved on manual patching and OS imaging. Deployment is rock solid; we’ve scaled to nearly 100 continuous automation tasks that keep our endpoints compliant without manual intervention. Customer Support (both Vitel and ME Global) has been consistently reliable when we hit complex edge cases. If you are looking for a tool that scales with your company’s growth and provides measurable ROI to management, this is it. ----- ### "Great product with a really good feature set that allows our team to punch above our weight." — 5.0/5 > **Gary** | *21 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: its realatively easy to use and its interface makes some features really easy to deploy and manage. also the deployment speed of configurations is great, with lots of useful reports. patching is also great and pretty much handles itself. > > **Cons**: few minor points, recent API change has caused additional work, username would be greatly beneficial in app control requests > > Overall a great experience which has allowed us to implement some great features with minimal admin work - (wouldnt have even considered app control with Intune alone) ----- Page: 1 / 69\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/103857/manageengine-desktop-central?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/103857/manageengine-desktop-central) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
