While Desktop Central allows you to define actions across multiple machines, I found the availability of options and the granularity of setting up a proper scope much easier and much more powerful with Goverlan-something that pays off more and more as your network grows.

Then you can define the administrative actions to perform on that scope, which can be essentially anything Windows permits you to do, including Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries, and run those actions either on an ad-hoc, scheduled or recurring basis. One of the big differentiators between the two products is the Scope Actions tool in Goverlan, which allows you to easily define a scope of targets-they could be users, computers or groups-using powerful filtering and selection criteria. The ManageEngine agent requires 512 MB of RAM and 30 MB of disk space Goverlan’s agent, in contrast, is only a few megabytes (<5MB), has negligible memory requirements, and installs within seconds.īoth products are full-featured when it comes to management, offering a central console from which to administer servers and clients.

I was able to install Desktop Central and get to a functional start within an hour getting up to speed with Goverlan was slightly faster, especially when installing client agents. Goverlan Remote Administration Suite uses a Windows application, which in my experience performed more quickly and consistently through my tests, although it limits the ability to use non-Windows computers to perform administrative tasks. The ManageEngine Desktop Central console is web-based and all configuration and operation is performed from within a web browser.

So, a preferably agent-based patching solution with software deployment and inventorying capabilities, bonus points for OS Deployment / Imaging options. Automox looks nice, but it would be almost $30k/yr to run it. There's lots of RMM tools, but 95% are targeted for MSPs and throw in a lot of features (and cost) that we don't need. Most MDM solutions will do what we need, but I'm not look to pay $20,000+/yr if I can help it. We have LANSweeper and PDQ Deploy, both of which I love for different reasons, but neither of which work well for patching/updating/inventorying/managing off-network devices that may or may not have a reliable VPN to the main office. WSUS/MDT/SCCM are off the table as this org has seen two horrendous SCCM installations and won't try for a third. We are a *very* small - some would say understaffed - team, so less management overhead is better. Nothing else - I don't need antivirus, a PSA, a service desk, or remote access tools.

I'm needing to manage patching (Microsoft & Third Party) on both on and off network devices along with custom software deployment and scripting, roughly 450 machines (We are much larger, but 90% VDI that isn't included here).
