Keep Intune for What It's Good At. Add Endpoint Central for What It's Not.
Intune excels at modern Windows device management and mobile device policies. But if you're also managing:
-
Legacy Windows systems and servers
-
macOS and Linux endpoints
-
Third-party application patching (Adobe, Java, browsers, etc.)
-
Complex software deployments
-
On-premise or air-gapped networks
-
OS imaging and provisioning
...then Intune alone leaves gaps that force you to cobble together scripts, GPO, WSUS, and manual processes.
Endpoint Central fills those gaps.

Need clarification?
We already pay for Intune with M365. Why add another tool?
→ Fair question. But how much are you spending on scripts, GPO workarounds, and manual patching for third-party apps? Endpoint Central replaces that effort with one platform - often faster to deploy than fixing Intune gaps.
Can Endpoint Central coexist with Intune?
→ Absolutely. Some customers run both. Use Intune for modern Windows policies and mobile devices. Use Endpoint Central for patching, software deployment, legacy systems, and non-Microsoft endpoints. We help design clean responsibility boundaries.
What about Intune's built-in remote support?
→ Intune Quick Assist is basic (chat, view-only). Endpoint Central gives you full remote control, file transfer, command execution, and script deployment - essential for real troubleshooting.
Do we have to go cloud-only like Intune?
→ No. Endpoint Central offers both cloud and on-premise. If you have data residency, compliance, or air-gapped network requirements, you can keep it in-house.
How long does implementation take?
→ Most customers are live in 2-4 weeks because it's designed to be pragmatic, not a year-long SCCM replacement project. We help with architecture, initial policies, and training.

What customers say about Endpoint Central
Endpoint Central helps us with patch management which security-wise is fantastic. The outcome could be really bad for us if we weren't on top of our patch management. We're also able to see the age of machines from a business point of view. The remote feature is fantastic. I would definitely recommend ManageEngine.
Endpoint Central has helped our business enhance employee experience and supports users in a timely and efficient manner.
We were looking for MDM features that can help us to track inventory of mobile devices, view software versions in dashboard, and more importantly it should be user friendly and cost effective. Endpoint Central helped us to achieve it.
ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a product that combines many facets of IT management and combines it into a simply to use single product. Not only does Endpoint Central save time and effort but also saves costs by putting many of the tools that make IT life easier in one place and automates inventory management.
Prior to using Endpoint 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. Endpoint 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. Endpoint Central has far exceeded my expectations and makes my life easier. The days of locally updating workstations are long gone.
