Most 3rd party apps require a task kill to be ran in order for the patch to occur and the product does not offer that function within the Deployment Policies so we often time have those patches fail to install. > > Regardless of the challenge of 3rd party application patching, the product overall is still one of the best and strongest available. From asset management to software deployment the product continues to excel. ----- ### "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) ----- ### "Bye bye SCCM and hello Endpoint Central" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *8 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Patching, DeX, script repositories are maturing, ease of software deployments and other configurations deployed > > **Cons**: nothing bad about ManageEngine, but microsoft can make some things hard to navigate with non-Microsoft products meaning that you have to use Script/GPOs in some places > > moved away from SCCM to this and it smashed the SCCM patching compliance and decreased our exposure scores in MDE more than when we had SCCM ----- ### "Endpoint Central Product Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jay** | *25 March 2026* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really enjoy the endpoint management side of this product. The ability to issue a command to an endpoint and it be ran and installed within minutes since it is an agent based product is very nice. > > **Cons**: The only downside i would see of this product is there is a lot of tabs to click through, so understanding where to go for each section is sometimes a bit tough. But unlike other products on the market this one has information and KBs on almost anything you can think of. > > I would say my overall experience with EPC is that it is a very useful and good product that any IT professional would love to take advantage of. There use of device management for Macs is unmatched with any other Endpoint management application. ----- ### "Matt Morton Wavenet (LGfL Team) - Product Review 15/06/2026" — 4.0/5 > **Matthew** | *15 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ManageEngine Endpoint Central allowed us to explore patch management and the automated patch deployment which was available within. Beyond this, it highlighted vulnerabilities in a clear layout which allowed us to plan and action on an each device basis. We also have found that customer support is great with multiple levels of support as well as the chat feature which allows you to speak to someone very fast. > > **Cons**: Configuration was tricky to begin with, with a lot of self teaching on how to use the product. I found that support times can be slightly longer than desired at times but I understand the resource limitations that this service may have. > > Manage Engine has been the solution we were looking for. While it was a company decision to adopt it, I have found that I have been able to learn how to use, configure and manage the devices I support in Manage Engine. ----- Page: 1 / 71\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/117339/manageengine-endpoint-central?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/117339/manageengine-endpoint-central) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
