We performed a comparison between ManageEngine Endpoint Central and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to deploy a configuration or policy to a system, especially when you don't have Azure AD. Now we are talking to all these small and medium-sized customers who don't necessarily have an on-premise Windows Active Directory. If they have invested in Office 365 Premium, this functionality becomes available to them."
"The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"It's not working perfectly, but Microsoft's Autopilot offers great visibility into automated deployment solutions."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The Microsoft Windows Autopilot and Defender policies are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"Honestly, I have to say all features together have become the Swiss army knife of desktop management. They all work hand in hand. Software deployment saves an unbelievable amount of time installing an application on hundreds of computers."
"We can scale the product."
"I like being able to image over the network. That's a nice feature that it has. Patch management is pretty decent on it as well."
"What I like best about this product is that I can log on to every PC, very easily, and chat with the user via the chat feature."
"The initial setup process is good."
"The ability to run event viewer, task manager, services, command, file browser, certificate all remotely without interrupting users is the most valuable aspect. Software deployment and prohibiting, allowing us to standardize on the software that has been deployed through the environment and then prohibiting illegal software such as torrent applications has been valuable."
"The stability is great."
"ManageEngine Desktop Central's most valuable features are remote desktop control and image management. We can send things out from the desk here, it is a very good tool for us."
"The product is a unified solution and you don't require to purchase tools from different vendors. The system analyzes behavior and activity and takes steps for protection."
"The product is centralized and we can use it for security purposes."
"You can scale the solution up or down by department."
"A good feature that is present is MAM or Mobile Application Management. We can deploy this feature on the device, which is not managed by the organization. If I apply some security configuration on a personal device, the user would be really disappointed. What we do instead is that we give all access to the applications related to corporate and ask the users to use the application. We secure the application by putting the security features on the applications and not on the users' devices. This way, the users are happy, and we also meet our company's compliance standards. Then, everyone is happy."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Microsoft Mobility and EMS include Intune for Mobility, which provides mobile device management and mobile application management. With mobile device management, you can control the entire device in an organization."
"The solution is very good at securing files. For example, if I forward a secure document, it's blocked from others, as I can send it with restrictions in relation to who can open it."
"Intune does not provide real-time visibility."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"The scalability could be improved, and like most other MDM products, Intune is good but not 100% there yet."
"Microsoft Intune could enhance its patch management for various devices, ensuring regular updates and tracking of device privileges."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"An issue we have run into with Microsoft Endpoint Manager is that we cannot patch third-party products like Adobe and Chrome with it."
"Technical support is not that great."
"The mobile and tablet-based versions need improvement because they are not completely user-friendly, compared to the web version. Also, data synchronization with our existing asset manager, the synchronization between multiple assets and multiple devices, takes a lot of time due to the security scanning. It should be reduced."
"It is compatible with the systems such as Windows and Mac but not with Linux systems."
"The performance sometimes lags a bit because the solution is demanding on system resources."
"The tool's security can be better."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"I would like to have the option to install the agent remotely."
"The MDM feature isn't very good. It doesn't support Amazon vendors."
"In relation to ManageEngine Endpoint Central, ManageEngine NGAV seems to be completely useless right now."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
"Technical support could be improved. Sometimes they use a third party that's not so knowledgeable in the product and that can slow down things a bit."
"We did the deployment with the help of Microsoft's consultants. But sometimes, we found it difficult to educate the application developers to integrate."
"The auditing and reporting could be updated and upgraded. I would like to see light applications because they consume a lot of the device's memory at present."
"Its performance needs enhancement."
"The licensing can be messy at times."
"There are certain shortcomings in the licensing model of the product where improvements are required."
"The MDM part of the engine could be better."
"Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is expensive."
