Most IT administrators today may find it challenging to distribute software to every workstation in a network, especially in large organizations. Rolling out software across enterprises is getting extremely difficult due to the exponential increase in endpoints. One cannot guarantee that all endpoints have the most recent software installed and configured, even with many technicians/engineers working on it.
Hence, for all of your software deployment requirements, you must have a centralized software deployment mechanism in place. This ensures minimal errors and more frequent deployments of the software (patching, upgrading, etc.) needed by the organization.
ManageEngine Endpoint Central allows you to distribute software packages and automate software deployment in all the computers across your network from a central console. Whether it’s Windows, Mac and even Linux, you can use the tool to automate software deployment without any user intervention.
Endpoint Central comes with a feature set that has the following advanced options to offer greater flexibility and control over the automated deployment process:
- Pre-defined Application Templates: The tools come with over 4,500 pre-defined application templates, complete with install/uninstall switches which can be used to create packages instantly. This saves time and makes the process of software installation faster and more accurate.
- Self-Service Portal: Strengthen your automatic software deployment process by empowering users to install applications on their own.
- Pre-deployment Activities: Perform condition checks and apply configurations before installation with Pre-deployment activities, which can accelerate your enterprise software deployment process.
- Post Deployment Activities: Empower your automatic software deployment process by allowing you to apply follow-up configurations, run custom scripts, change registry settings, create shortcuts, create/append paths and much more after installation.
- Software Repository: Software packages creates using the tools are stored in a central Software Repository and can be reused multiple times for your enterprise software deployment process.
- Installation/Uninstallation Using the Same Package: You can create different packages for installing and uninstalling using the same application whether it’s MSI, EXE, MSU, APP, and MSP Applications.
- Schedule Deployment: You can automate software installation on the desired day/date/time, within a preset time window. Scheduling software deployment via automated deployment tools at off-hours helps bring the desired results in terms of cost as well as performance within your environment.
- Install Applications as a User: Automated software tool supports installing or uninstalling the application as a specific user. By default, all applications are installed as “System User”, to which the Endpoint Central agent has access.
