Mid-Size, Large Enterprises Lead Surging Demand for Company's Free Tools
PLEASANTON, Calif. - July 25, 2013 - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the results of its "Free Tools" survey. Among the survey highlights, ManageEngine found that mid-size and large enterprises - not cash-strapped solopreneurs, startups and SMBs - are the leading users of its free tools, which have seen a 40 percent increase in downloads during the first half of 2013. The "Free Tools" infographic with survey results can be found at http://ow.ly/ncH6n.
"The decision to use free tools is really about functionality and performance, not price. That's one of the biggest takeaways of this survey," said Vidya Vasu, head of ManageEngine Community. "Free tools won't replace the management consoles that give admins the big picture on IT, but the 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's why admins keep going back to them."
The ManageEngine "Free Tools" survey was sent to users who downloaded one or more of the company's free IT management tools. The findings represent the answers provided by 170 survey respondents. Key survey findings center on who, exactly, is using free IT management tools.
