However, many mention limitations such as reduced functionality compared to the web client, issues with remote control usability on mobile, and lack of advanced features like patch deployment and user administration within the app. Overall, the app serves as a handy tool for endpoint management but could benefit from expanded native capabilities and better mobile controls. ### Pros - Allows managing data centers and workstations remotely via mobile devices - Useful for keeping track of device fleet, system controls, and inventory - Continuously improving with updates and user feedback being incorporated - Provides decent access to Desktop Central system for endpoint management - Supports company certificate recognition and SSL VPN for secure login ### Cons - Limited functionality compared to web client; lacks key features like patch deployment, user administration, reporting, and configuration management - Remote control feature has usability issues, especially with mobile controls and bugs - App functions mainly as a link to web portal rather than a fully native app experience - Lacks support for advanced input modes (mouse and keyboard) and missing features like saving login credentials or fingerprint authentication - Patch management through the app is inefficient and less user-friendly than browser version ## Similar extensions and apps - [Endpoint Central MSP](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.desktopcentralmsp) — 7,194 users, 4.18 / 5 - [N-central Mobile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.n_able.www.ncentral) — 36,675 users, 2.72 / 5 - [HPE Aruba Networking Central](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hpe.aruba.networking.central) — 5,584 users, 3.40 / 5 - [Mobile Device Manager Plus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.uem.mdm) — 59,587 users, 4.04 / 5 - [Device Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.invigo.devicemanager) — 120 users - [Network Configuration Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.ncm) — 15,593 users, 3.73 / 5 - [Applications Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.apm) — 135,660 users, 3.71 / 5 - [MDM & Kiosk Mode by AppTec360](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.apptec360.android.mdm) — 56,588 users, 3.89 / 5 - [ManageEngine MDM Self Service](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.mdm.android) — 1,211,791 users, 3.30 / 5 - [Remote Access Plus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.remoteaccessplus) — 8,593 users - [N-able N-sight](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.logicnow.remotemanagement) — 27,751 users, 1.81 / 5 - [Asset Central Mobile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.paperlesstrail.assettaggermobile) — 12 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.manageengine.desktopcentral)
