We performed a comparison between BMC Client Management and ManageEngine Endpoint Central based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about JAMF, Microsoft, Kandji and others in Mobile Device Management (MDM)."One feature I like, that was especially valuable during the pandemic, is remote control. Remote control grants administrators and support personnel access to the laptops and PCs of employees (who might be working from home) in order to fix any issues that come up as and when they come up, even without having to wait for a support request."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its patching capabilities and the help it offers when it comes to use cases, like prompting for the reboot after a certain period of time."
"It's a scalable solution. We have deployed it for customers using 3000 nodes to those using 300,000 nodes."
"The inventory and patch management tools are very valuable."
"The support from BMC Client Management is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are patch management and software license management."
"The mobile functionality is very easy."
"It's a complete product that allows you to remote troubleshoot, has an inventory of systems."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Patch Management."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Page management and ADA integrations are the most valuable features of ManageEngine Endpoint Central."
"The patch manager is good, and it's easy to use."
"BMC Client Management supports only iOS devices. It would be good if they would support Android as well."
"It would be good if BMC Client Management can perform vulnerability assessment scanning at the endpoint on its own and mitigate that. Then, we wouldn't have to rely on a third party VA tool. I would like to see this application move to being a web-based one."
"The solution needs to add whitelisting because many customers request it."
"The on-premises version of BMC Client Management has powerful remote control functionality and decent compliance features, but these features both rely on the discovery tool in order to gain a complete set of insights about the endpoint's environment. Now, BMC's discovery solution depends on having an agent installed in each endpoint and sometimes the agent doesn't work properly, making it difficult to get an accurate understanding of the environment (including special topologies) even with BMC's discovery tool."
"BMC Client Management could improve in the area of integration."
"The solution does not offer the functionality of remote access to users."
"ManageEngine Endpoint Central’s scalability could be improved."
"The reports provided by the product are an area of concern where improvements are required. The visibility provided by the reports is not very attractive."
"The pricing is lower than other well-respected solutions in this category."
"Documentation could improve so we don't need to create the support requests first."
"The product's remote access manager needs improvement."
"The reporting analytics could improve in ManageEngine Desktop Central. However, there are some third-party add-ins or modules you can purchase to do reporting analytics."
"Computer imaging is powerful but breaks frequently. The reason for this breaking is not clear and requires heavy amounts of attention to keep operational. There is a lot of room for this tool to do more but the reliability of this process should be focused on first to ensure core competencies are being fixed before more features are added."
"Improvement should be done as per customer requirements."
