What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for ManageEngine Endpoint Central?

I am not aware of the pricing and costs. I might know more when we renew our contract.

Compared to Intune, ManageEngine is not expensive but its pricing is somewhat higher since it offers all the features. If they reduce the cost, more people would opt for ManageEngine.

Comparatively, the pricing of ManageEngine Endpoint Central is reasonable and cheaper than other options we considered.

I rate its pricing as six or seven out of ten because the app is very expensive.

The pricing is average. It is neither expensive nor cheap.

ManageEngine Endpoint Central's license in models is all over the place, meaning you have to pay for each individual extra module or extra user. I have been trying out a lot of ManageEngine products. The pricing of the product is not bad compared to the other similar solutions in the market.

The product is not costly. The product is properly priced, especially for SMBs.

The product is not expensive. I rate its pricing a seven out of ten.

The only advice I have for others is to always look at the fine print. Talk to them and get it in writing about getting the best support possible when in need. Also, negotiate the price.

Compared to other products, ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a very cheap solution.

The product is cheap.

There is a freeware version of the solution available as long as you do not breach the number of licenses and users that are dictated. The price of the solution is reasonable.

The cost of licensing is paid yearly. The price is a bit expensive. However, it's not too bad compared to the market. There are some extra costs as well. If you go for the standard enterprise plan, not many features are covered. You need to trade up to bigger editions that offer more features.

ManageEngine solutions are very affordable compared to other endpoint management options, like Ivanti or Microsoft. I was looking at VMware Workspace ONE. We compared to features and price and found this product to be one of the most affordable. In a straight race, ManageEngine will win in terms of pricing. There may be extra costs on occasion. For example, if you purchase Endpoint Central Unified Edition, most of what you only need to pay for is a trial over the server or an add-on so that you have a passive machine that will wake up if the main machine dies. You might also have an endpoint security add-on. If you buy a standard, you have to pay for the add-on. If you want mobile development, you pay for mobile development. Therefore, the cost depends on the edition you're purchasing.

I would rate the cost as a 9/10 because my original alternative was Intune but since the cost of owning Intune effectively is much more I went for this. 

The technician license is expensive compared to the product 

I don't directly deal with pricing.

The initial purchase was around $6,000 or $7,000. We most probably are not on an annual subscription. We bought it, and then we pay for the maintenance. I'm not 100% sure how that's working out.

I would rate pricing as a seven on a scale of one to ten. ManageEngine Desktop Central could be cheaper.

The cost of the solution is reasonable.

We pay 40,000 per year for Desktop Central, ready to manage any size of IT computing environment without having to pay additional fees.

At the time we signed onto this product, it was a bit more expensive than SolarWinds, however, I'm not sure if that's since changed.

The pricing is fine. We purchase a one year agreement and one year support with Desktop Central for 500 users, and the price was fine. We were not charged for any additional costs, except the licensing.

The pricing is very low, compared to other products. Compared to Intune or SCCM, it's much less. I can say it's a good product for less of a price. Intune doesn't really have a price, at the moment, because they integrated Intune with another license for Microsoft. If you purchase M365, you get the license. They've made everything a combo now, so obviously any company will go for M365, which includes everything. That's what our company has, and we don't pay anything extra for it. If you split the money, it would be much less than Desktop Central, so you can't technically compare the two. ManageEngine's licensing is not as good. They add new features and they ask for money. For example, they introduced Browser Security, which is an extra add-on. Compared to Intune, you just buy the Intune product and that's it, you have everything in place—browser security, endpoint management, etc. Everything's included with the Intune license, which isn't the case with ManageEngine. That's something they really need to take care of.

It's my understanding that the pricing is pretty high.

I can't speak to their exact pricing. I don't have any information on that.

I'd rate the cost at a seven out of ten. It's okay. It could be a bit more affordable, however, it's not too expensive. We pay about $250 a year for our license.

I have been using the free version and am in the stage where I have to decide if I will proceed with the paid license, or instead choose another product.

The cost is fairly reasonable for what you're getting. As an end user, you always want everything for nothing, but the reality of the matter is you get what you pay for so I think the price is fair. If you compare it to things like other patch management and third party tools, I'd say the price is probably fairly good.

It's relatively cheap if you take the overall product. Choose wisely between the Professional and Enterprise editions, based on your needs.

Desktop Central can be less expensive than other solutions like VMware for managing DevSecOps. You have to pay per asset with Desktop Central and the final cost depends on how many assets you have across the organization. Per asset, the license cost will be less than using a more expensive license for VMware and vRealize. I think per desktop it might be somewhere around $50 or $100 each using ManageEngine.

I would advise others to think about using Desktop Desktop for all their network, tickets, and assets needs. I personally have not used the network monitoring software, but it's like any of the other portions of Desktop Central, it must be good.

Go with what you can afford. Every part of the application is going to save time and money and a very worthwhile investment.

The licensing is very easy to understand and pricing is right for what you get.

Setup requires you to really roll up your sleeves and to dig in to connect the dots to get things up and running. Resources are not easy to find that are experts in deploying this platform and getting it fully up and running. The more you can refine the deployment the more value that the platform provides and someone that has never deployed this platform will see a high barrier of entry to accomplish these finer elements.

Setup costs are very little, pricing is reasonable and licensing can get complicated but it isn't rocket science.
