"Desktop Central has allowed a level of visibility across our infrastructure like never before. Through well designed modules we're able to manage, monitor, maintain and action all elements of our environment from the one console which has saved us thousands in time and resources. Having used other Desktop Management suites from competitors such as Symantec and LANDesk, Desktop Central is the only solution that doesn't require advanced SQL knowledge to proficiently report on your estate as well as being quick to setup and extremely easy to maintain, in strong contrast to other applications out there. I would recommend Desktop Central for anyone maintaining a large enterprise estate." Matt Rooney, |

This was an important requirement when we made the decision to move away from a thin client desktop environment for performance reasons. Our desktops are all centrally supported and managed. Remote support in Desktop Central has far exceeded our expectations and makes our lives easier. The days of locally updating desktop are long gone. Additionally, with Desktop Central integrating to ServiceDesk Plus, asset management and remote support is made easier." Nathan Mcleod, |

"We were using WSUS and it wasn't managing all the Patches required for windows. ManageEngine Desktop Central manages ALL plus third party patches that we require. The deployment was simple when I tested with one domain, had to tweak when adding the next domain, but I've still some settings to play with to get it where it needs to be. I now no longer have to rely on end-users doing their updates. I can create and set new policies for the PCs that can be applied at any time or I can schedule the patches for after-hours with reboots as required. Desktop Central has been my final choice because of its simplicity and it's very cost effective for what it is capable of doing." Jim Locke, |

Desktop Central deployment was simple and cost-effective compared to other software such as the Microsoft, Citrix, VMware and LANDesk. I can now find my assets easily using the remote client. Cost and ease of use had made Desktop Central as our final choice compared to other competing products. I do not require additional staff to manager Desktop Central" Colin Woon-Fat, |

"Within Desktop Central, the Louisiana Governor's Office utilizes auto-patch deployment, inventory, and computer configurations such as monthly defragmentation schedules. After placing many of calls to Desktop Central's support line, I have found their staff to be friendly and very quick to respond the needs of their customers. Not only has the Desktop Central team solved issues within the software but when a feature was needed, they were quick to add that feature.

Desktop Central has become a great tool that saves us and our users lots of time and has helped decrease the helpdesk tickets.

Desktop Central was the easiest to use and well worth the money. I don't have to worry about patches anymore." Patrick Brown, |

"Desktop Central has worked very well for us. The initial setup in defining the scope of management was simple and easy. It allows selecting specific computers to be managed or the entire domain/OU/Workgroup computers without any hassle. We use the Software Deployment feature very often to roll out remote software installations to multiple computers. It has saved us a lot of time and effort. Another important function that we use regularly is to retrieve the details of the software installed in the managed PCs. This helps us to keep track of the licenses of the commercial software and to be compliant. Lastly, support is outstanding, technicians will quickly diagnose the problem and the few times I required a patch it was available next day. Really GREAT!" Michel Sargentini, |
|
"We have desktops in the same LAN as well as several affiliate offices. Desktop Central has saved us so many hours that we would needed otherwise in managing them.

We love this product and would highly recommend this to other organizations even if they are using Windows SUS for patching this product is so much better." Louis Valentino, |
|

"I was looking for a solution for centralized deployment of software packages. With Desktop Central, I don't have to run around to install software locally which saves me an awful amount of time. Furthermore, DC gives me a centralized place for a lot of domain info as well, of course that info is available with other (free) tools but it's nice to have most of it in one single place. I was really impressed with the easy setup and deployment, I was able to install DC, configure it, configure the domain and agents and push a first small software package in less than an hour. The only logical choice was to order desktop central because it covers all my needs at this time." Sven Reyniers, |

"ManageEngine Desktop Central has made the management of our network much easier with the ability to automate patches for third party software. Deployment is very simple and easy to set up. The fact that it does many of the everyday administration tasks from one central location and is web browser based. Happier employees with the newest software on their systems so they don't get constant requests to update software that they don't have permissions to install on the domain. Production has gone up from employees and free up administration time for use in other areas of our network." William J. Stasak, |
|
"Our need was to deploy some applications, settings, configurations, etc., to all of computers in our network. We have AD, and GPO. It was more complicated and sometimes deployment did not work exactly. Desktop Central has helped us to deploy such needs easily and in a more flexible way.

Andy Mack, |

"Prior to using Desktop Central, I went around to every workstation to locally update third-party programs such as Adobe and Java on a regular basis. This was a huge waste of time and proved itself to be inefficient. Desktop Central allowed me to not only push out patches automatically but gave me the option to deploy new software when needed. Our workstations are now centrally managed and are up to date with software patches. Desktop Central has far exceeded my expectations and makes my life easier. The days of locally updating workstations are long gone." Jake Wendler, |

There are a lot of other products out there like Desktop Central, but so far Desktop Central has proven to be a good fit for us, as well as being very competitively priced. We use Desktop Central to keep all of our workstations and servers up-to-date with Microsoft service packs, patches and updates.

Now, we've even been able to put together our own custom scripts and update processes and push those out with Desktop Central.

"We have been using Desktop Central for a little over 13 months now, and have found it to be an invaluable tool throughout. We can see at a glance what state the nodes are in, as well as make configuration changes, push updates, inventories and install software. One of our first initiatives was to push out Windows XP Pro SP3, which using Desktop Central was made very simple. The whole procedure was painless, and worked first time every time. We have just extended our licence agreement for the product, and we are very happy to have done so. The sales team have been helpful every step of the way, and where we have had issue in getting what we want out of the tool, the forums and support online have been invaluable. As a company, Goodman Europe hope to have a long and happy relationship with ManageEngine and Desktop Central!". Barry Goldsworthy, |

"The biggest challenge we faced is keeping patches for Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Java up-to-date. Our network policy does not allow users to install updates on their workstation and we had not found a simple and effective product until finding Desktop Central. Microsoft patches do auto-deploy to our workstations, but we had no way of verification to ensure they installed. Desktop Central has help us by eliminating the need for manual patching of Reader, Acrobat and Java, and enables us to address any problem with Microsoft patch installs. The labor savings will be a plus, and the user will be happy not to have to report missing patches." Brent Buzbee, |

For the first time in 20 years that I have worked here, ALL of my machines are now fully patched and secured. Great Software, Super Support. Keep up the good work folks." DK Duvall, |

Deployment was relatively simple and the solution is cost-effective. The additional functionality it offers at this price over the other patching solutions in the market made us choose Desktop Central " Network Administrator, |
