“Remote management capabilities are amazing, we can remote control with privilege escalation by the click of a button or use system tools to quietly support and implement fixes. Remote command prompt, registry, file manager and more allow us to make changes in silence.”

“Manage Engine provides a great deal when it comes to Endpoint Management. It has a lot of predefined templates that can be used immediately or policies can be configured. The main part is that the customising of the policy is very easy. it is like selecting from the drop-down list. For example, policies like device restriction, admin privilege restriction, and power restriction are very easy to deploy.”
