Is Manage Engine's Vulnerability Manager Good?

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: Overall I would say ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus is a great tool to have and use.

Pros:

It is nice to have both patching and vulnerability management in one interface. Being able to see what patches fix what vulnerabilities is also nice and being able to simply click "deploy" to fix the vulnerability is nice.

Cons:

I would say the least thing I like is they have a few buttons placed around that simply are not usable unless you pay for other services and integrate them in. I feel like they are doing this to push more of their products on customers.

Alternatives Considered: Nessus, WaZa MDM and OpenVAS

Vulnerability Manager Plus

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My experience with ManageEngine and its products is positive. They have excellent support and fully back up their products even if you run a trial version. The Vulnerability Manager Plus was an excellent choice for us as an organization and performs well in an environment that is distributed to 5 locations in Europe.

Pros:

Vulnerability Manager Plus is easy to deploy and set up. Quite self-explaining and supported by an extensive support team that responds to any questions you might have via chat. ManageEngine will assist you in setting up a demo if needed. Their products can be installed and tested for 30 days for free and that's something I appreciate when evaluating systems/software

Cons:

So far i have not had any negative experiences with Vulnerability Manager Plus

Early days but easily lost

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: A great tool but better workflows required. Also, simpler bespoke reporting without having to dive into SQL.

Pros:

I like that this system shines a strong light on the potential deficiencies of our infrastructure, showing tiered levels of threats across endpoints.

Cons:

I feel that the workflow of tracking where you're at in terms of patches in process against what the "Threats-Software Vulnerabilities" is listing confusing. I feel constantly lost in what I still need to patch, what's failed, why it's failed and what I need to do to fix it. Even small things like being able to right-click links to 'open in another window' (which would help keep organized) is not possible, so you have to lose where you're at. If the Software Vulnerabilities list had an indicator column to show you're patching this entry, that'd be useful.

Improvement in support channels for on-premise servers

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: The tool is very useful. Other brands have been used and by using VMP the best is expected to be able to manage patching in different environments such as being at home, outside the network, networks with limited bandwidth. in concluison a good tool that has many good improvements.

Pros:

Ease of equipment management, vulnerability scanning, implementation in private and limited bandwidth networks, distribution servers.

Cons:

The generation of very limited reports, knowledge in sql script is needed to be able to generate a personalized one, there are some created but it is very generalized. The support is very bureaucratic, many steps are taken to solve it, in my case I restored the server myself since it had to be the support who had to solve it.

Alternatives Considered: ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus

Reasons for Switching to ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus: For the set of available tools and the ability to manage multiple devices in different network configurations.

Great product and value for money

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's a relief and a time saver to not have to patch every server manually.

Pros:

The agent deployment was quick and easy and we have brought down the number of vulnerable systems by a lot. When we had an issue of our own making customer service went above and beyond our expectations. I was very pleased the help I received, and the engineers worked round the clock to help us.

Cons:

Deploying security configurations can be risky and have adverse effects on the servers.
