46% Mid and Large Enterprises use free tools on a daily basis: ManageEngine Survey
ManageEngine has revealed the results of its “Free Tools” survey conducted to highlight that mid-size and large enterprises are the leading users of its free tools, which have seen a 40-per cent increase in downloads during the first half of 2013.
Vidya Vasu, Head, ManageEngine Community, said, The decision to use free tools is really about functionality and performance – not price. This is one of the biggest takeaways of this survey. Free tools will not replace the management consoles that give admins the big picture on IT, but these nimbler tools are often the go-to solutions for looking at a problem in isolation. Free tools are quick-to-install, easy-to-use and provide real-time data. That is why admins keep going back to them.
The survey results also revealed that nearly 46% of the mid and large enterprises use free tools on a daily basis. The most common uses of the free tools include solving common Windows and desktop management problems (64%), troubleshooting (44%) and virtualization monitoring (29%).
The most popular ManageEngine free tools are the SNMP MIB Browser, Ping Tool, Ping Tool for iPhone, Windows Health Monitor, Active Directory tools and Desktop Management tools.
