It helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and addresses risks such as data theft and insider threats through removable media. The software uses a zero-trust approach, allowing administrators to create trusted device lists that block unauthorized devices from accessing endpoints. It includes file access management features such as read-only restrictions, file copying blocks, and limitations on data transfers based on file size and type. Role-based access control is available, along with temporary access permissions for third-party devices, ensuring security is maintained. The platform provides real-time monitoring and auditing with detailed logs that track device usage and user activity. Alerts are generated for unauthorized access attempts, and dashboards display information in an accessible format. Automated data transfer monitoring tracks and controls file movements between devices and endpoints. Reporting features offer detailed audit data to help identify and address potential security issues. > > Verdict: Rated **4.8/5** by 8 users.

We were under the strict compliance and Device Control helped us with that issues. ----- ### "Reliable, Low‑Friction Device Control That Just Works" — 5.0/5 > **Joao** | *7 May 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about ManageEngine Device Control Plus is how reliably it enforces predictable, granular device control without disrupting users. The lightweight agent, clean audit trails, and precise USB/peripheral restrictions make it a security tool you can deploy confidently and then stop worrying about. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about ManageEngine Device Control Plus is that some of the deeper configuration areas — especially around driver‑level exclusions and custom device templates — can feel a bit buried and require more clicks than they should. The product is powerful, but certain advanced settings aren’t as streamlined or intuitive as the rest of the platform, so there’s a small learning curve before everything feels smooth. > > My overall experience with ManageEngine Device Control Plus has been genuinely positive — it delivers the kind of predictable, low‑friction device governance that makes life easier for an IT admin. Once deployed, the agent is stable, the policies apply cleanly, and the audit trails give you the visibility you need without drowning you in noise. It’s one of those tools that quietly does its job in the background, giving you confidence that USB and peripheral risks are under control while your users continue working without disruption. ----- ### "Works exactly as advertised" — 4.0/5 > **Kris** | *25 November 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy to set up and implement. Setting up policies to match exactly what you are scoping out is pretty simple as well. > > **Cons**: It does not give you much help when you run into individual agent installation issues. I have learned to just do it manually if it doesn't work out after a day or two. > > I have used all of their products so and find most of them easy to use and very helpful. As for Device Control Plus, I like the policy setups and notifications being robust. ----- ### "Great Control of USB Devices" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 December 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to manage what USB devices we allow to be accessed when inserted into one of our machines. This has stopped users using memory sticks which haven't been checked over by ourselves in IT, to ensure the stick hasn't been given to them from a third party and then plugged into our machines which could affect our network. However with our specific memory sticks, it allows us to be sure what is given out is secure. Also the ability to control what type of device is allowed - microphones, webcams, mice and keyboards etc. This has allowed us to stop users being able to access their mobile phone storage SD cards, however keeping the charging function when plugged in. > > **Cons**: It would have been great to have a list of devices which we could add to the blacklist, prior to making the policy live. This would allow us to allow all specific types of devices except X, Y and Z. Otherwise it needs to be set as block all, and then the user can request for their device to be whitelisted. Or when a device is plugged in, the software then detects that piece of hardware and adds it to the list. Even if it was a default list of many different vendors. > > It's a great piece of kit, we've been trialing it for less than 12 months, so it's free up to a specific amount of devices. The reason is due to not having enough time at current within our small IT department to put together a more specific policy which would impact the business less without causing ourselves a higher amount of work from users requesting access to X, Y and Z. But the software has been easy to use and has so far been great. ----- ### "Admin Friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Hibbathullah** | *2 March 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: this provides comprehensive device control and allows me to control the use of USB devices, printers, scanners, and other peripheral devices. It also provides me granular control over the use of these devices, including read-only access, blocking access, and allowing access with restrictions.Easy-to-use interface: The dashboard provides a real-time view of all connected devices and their status, which makes it easy for me to identify and remediate security risks. > > **Cons**: there are a steep learning curve involved and limited customization options throughout the software.Deployment Complexity ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/361412/device-control-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/361412/device-control-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
