Pros and cons
What users like
- Affordable
- Easy to use
Common complaints
- Support quality rated lower than rivals in G2 comparisons (8.1)
- Dashboard described as less intuitive
- Ticketing works but lacks advanced automation
- Matching the tool to specific workflows can be hard
Worth knowing before you buy
- Priced per managed IT asset, not per user, so cost scales with device count
- Published cloud prices: $1,245/yr for 250 assets up to $16,695/yr for 10,000
- After the 30-day trial the license drops to a free edition rather than expiring
- Only 12 G2 reviews, so the 4.3 rating is thin evidence
- The Capterra UK figure (4.6, 13) may be mapped to a different ManageEngine listing; the URL slug references Site24x7
