Pros

“It was common for the agent on computers to encounter issues updating, connecting to the management portal, updating setting changes from the management end, etc.”

Chris H.

Systems Engineer

“It's not obtrusive but I question its effectiveness compared to other antivirus companies based on other reviews”

David J.

optometrist

“Virus signatures are updated in real time automatically through their cloud based signature platform.”

Robert B.

ITO

Pros

“We found that if workstation has agent from "previous installation" (for example, from some historical not cleaned PoC) and there is no "previous" Endpoint Central server available - the only option is to gather data using special tool, send it to support and receive specific cleaning tool, otherwise you can't install "current" agent.”

Ilya I.

Cybersecurity Implementation Expert

“The automation features significantly reduce repetitive tasks, and the remote troubleshooting tools are especially valuable in managing distributed environments. Although the interface and advanced configurations may take some time to get familiar with, the overall performance and feature set make it a reliable endpoint management solution.”

Manjesh K.

Technical Specilist-Windows

“It provided a reliable and centralized way to manage endpoints, automate patching, deploy software, and support remote users efficiently.”

Daniel G.

Senior IT Manager

Cons

“Unfortunately, our last year or so with them was fraught with constant issues that Webroot was unable or unwilling to resolve. ”

Steve W.

I.T. Systems Administrator

“Other reviews often suggest its not up to par with many other antivirus software companies”

David J.

optometrist

“A signature-based product which is not good enough to protect against sophisticated and advanced malware.”

Armeen G.

Sr Manager, Information Security

Cons

“One limitation I notice with ManageEngine Endpoint Central is that some advanced configuration and reporting features complex and may require additional customization or troubleshooting to work exactly as needed.”

Prathamesh M.

Sr.Technical Support Executive

“I struggled to reset my local admin user account. After My temporary license expired it took me time to procure the lfull version license and I struggled to log in back to the system.”

Boni J.

OT Specialist

“Initial Installation Support Could Be Improved - The initial setup and configuration process can be somewhat overwhelming, particularly in larger or more complex environments. While documentation is available, it often lacks step-by-step clarity for real-world scenarios.”

Sreekumar S.

Sr System Administrator
