    This document compares the time and cost required to perform common IT management tasks manually versus using ManageEngine Endpoint Central software. Managing assets, patching, software deployment and configurations for 100 computers manually would require 114-484 man hours per year and cost $3,990-$16,969 annually. Using Endpoint Central reduces the time to 2.63 man hours and the annual cost to $1,087-$1,082, saving 90% of time and costs. Endpoint Central also reduces bandwidth usage for patch deployment by downloading each patch once rather than for each individual computer.

    ManageEngine Endpoint Central

    - ROI Calculation
    Objective
    This document will help you arrive at the ROI (Return on Investment) using Endpoint Central versus doing it
    manually.

    Assumptions
     Network of 100 computers.
     Hourly salary for a technician to be $35.

    Summary
    The following graph depicts the time spent on each of these tasks manually versus doing it with Endpoint Central. You
    will save a whopping 90% of cost and efforts when you use Endpoint Central.

    Fig: Man hours spent – Manual vs Endpoint Central

    Note:

    The graph shown above is for doing these tasks juct once. When you increase the number of times you
    perform these tasks, you would tend to save even more as most of these taks gets automated in Endpoint
    Central.
    Notes:

     While the cost of doing each task manually can be calcuated, it is hard to do it for Endpoint Central as it is an
    integrated software. The graph above shows the total cost of performing these tasks uisng Endpoint Central
    individually.

     Whether or not you do these taks once or multiple times a year, the cost of doing it with Endpoinyt Central is
    going to remain the same or may increase marginally, if you take into account the time spent by the technician
    initiating the tasks from the management console.

    Now, we will see the break-up of the data shown above for each tasks/modules.

    Bandwidth consumption analysis between Manual and Endpoint Central for MS
    critical patches:
    Assumption:

     Patch size of 8MB (average).

     Ten patches per system (Data based on the 2012 first quarter).

    Manual Procedure Endpoint Central

    For one system: Once, the patch is downloaded in the server (i.e.
    80MB file).
    8MB*10 patches=80 MB
    It can be deployed any number of times, without any
    For 100 systems:
    additional consumption of internet bandwidth.
    100*80MB=8GB
    Result: Save bandwidth cost up to 100 times.

    Additional Benefits with Endpoint Central

     Plan and implement power management to desktop power consumption and money.
     Get comprehensive reports to meet your audit requirements anytime.
     Get a complete insight into your Active Directory infrastructure components.
     Schedule running system tools like disk defrag, check disk etc., to improve the system performance.
     Get complete details about actual user logion time with history.
