## From the vendor

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a unified endpoint management solution from ManageEngine for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and ChromeOS devices. The platform covers patch management, software deployment, asset and licence tracking, mobile device management, vulnerability detection and remediation, data loss prevention, endpoint privilege management, ransomware protection and remote troubleshooting from a single cloud-based console with no on-premises option. It supports managing desktops, laptops, servers, mobiles, tablets and IoT devices, which suits MSPs managing diverse client infrastructure. ManageEngine publishes pricing in four editions starting at $795 per year for 50 endpoints or $15.90 per endpoint per year (checked September 2026). Professional edition includes patch management, software deployment and remote access. Enterprise adds OS deployment, imaging and advanced reporting. UEM edition expands to full mobile device management with device control and compliance. Security edition adds endpoint detection and response, vulnerability remediation and data loss prevention. Annual billing is required with no monthly option, though multi-endpoint licensing is available at the same per-endpoint rate. The product includes a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, which lets an MSP evaluate the console, patch capabilities and integrations hands-on before committing to a purchase. Endpoint Central includes custom scripting for advanced automation and integrates with service desk and PSA platforms including Service Desk Plus, Jira Service Management, Zendesk and ServiceNow, plus security tools such as Splunk, CrowdStrike and Rapid7. This integration depth matters if you want to avoid vendor lock-in and maintain existing automation and workflows. ManageEngine was founded in 2002 and is a division of Zoho Corp, based in India, which is worth considering when evaluating support availability, legal jurisdiction and data residency for MSPs in regulated industries or those with specific compliance requirements.

## Our take

Endpoint Central stands out for published per-endpoint pricing and a 30-day free trial, which lets an MSP evaluate the platform hands-on before committing. It suits shops that want an all-in-one endpoint management solution without buying separate patch, MDM and security tools. The per-endpoint pricing is competitive, though you should confirm the minimum endpoint purchase during trial and whether your existing PSA or RMM is on the current integration list. It lacks network discovery, which some competitors offer, so check whether asset discovery aligns with your requirements.
