Featured Reviews

Donathon Ong - PeerSpot reviewer
Responsive support, a straightforward setup, and great endpoint management
There have been a few bugs. I would hope there would be a direct integration to the various cloud solutions, like Intune. Right now, ManageEngine is a separate solution. It doesn't integrate with Intune, AirWatch, or MobileIron in the cloud. It doesn't have this integration with the respective cloud solutions, and if it could have this kind of integration, it would be better. I wouldn't deploy ManageEngine as a standalone since it works better as a compliment rather than an entire solution.

Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has different features and it uses one agent to execute the features of the application. In this case, the remote control, distribution software, deployment, patch management, and configuration in different systems. ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has multi-platforms. They have recently implemented new features, such as endpoint security that incorporates vulnerability management and browser security."
"The solution is easy to understand. For example, when you remoting to the user's system, you don't have that option to only log in. On this product, you are connecting to the user's computer, it prompts you for what you want to do. You can select that you want to assist the user. The user on the other side will receive a prompt stating that there is someone trying to connect to your system, they can accept or decline the connection. Overall, the solution is easy to connect to the user's system."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the threats and patches element of it. We have done quite a lot of testing compared to other vendors with identifying the vulnerabilities. This means a lot more accuracy in terms of the patches and making sure it's all up to date."
"Easy to manage and it looks good."
"The most valuable feature was the patching system to apply Windows or other programs and the ability to install operating systems in computers using the network. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The interface is intuitive, easy to use, and has a low learning curve."
"The endpoint management is great."
"It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC."
"Transferring files and viewing data work well with TeamViewer Remote Management."
"The product helps us efficiently fix technical issues and maintain system downtime."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."
"Almost all the features are valuable to me, like the scalable feature and its highly interactive software."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."

Cons

"Although they say it is an enterprise solution, we don't have 24/seven human support. All we have is only 24/five support available from the vendor."
"I have found ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP has many different network issues. Additionally, they need to incorporate more features, they are lacking add-ons."
"Since this is an on-premise solution we had to update it a couple of times, and because we needed to use a command line to the server, it was not very easy, at least at that time to update the solution. The cloud version of this solution does not have this problem, but on the premise version, it was fairly cumbersome to apply to the Desktop Central server. This process could be made easier. This was the only issue I found with my colleague."
"Right now, ManageEngine is a separate solution. It doesn't integrate with Intune, AirWatch, or MobileIron in the cloud."
"The partnership models and subscriptions can be improved, as regional master resellers sometimes hog the space."
"When there is a new user at a store, for example, you have to create it in the ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP AD but the process could be better. They call us with the user's information but if it was possible for them to populate the information when they log the user on IM, and when clicking on ADManager in the system, the information could populate there. We would then only have to add a little more information which would save time."
"Stability is sometimes negatively affected by updates."
"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"Licensing has always been a concern, as it can be costly when we need simultaneous access for multiple users."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"If you have one version, like if you have version 14, and the client has version 15, you can't access his computer. If the client is on 14 and the technician is on 15, he can't access the end user who's at home. So there's a disparity in versioning."
"If there were a way for users to do access reporting, that would be an ideal addition to the product."
"The security of the solution could be more secure."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"The connectivity could improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we sold the solution to one customer, we found out the customer found out that one of their requirements was not being solved because the license only applies to five computers. We all thought at the time the current license that the customer bought covers the 600 computers because of this problem, the license model could be explained better and could be further improved."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP is a less expensive solution than competitors in Latin America."
"This product is very cheap compared to others."
"This product has an easy setup, good support, and a good price."
"It is a licensed product."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
"The solution's license is expensive."
"The solution relies on cloud-based infrastructure so the price is tailored to each individual model used"
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
