ManageEngine Browser Security Plus review
Browser extension controls, security policies, and reporting for managed endpoints.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ManageEngine Browser Security Plus gives IT administrators a way to manage browser settings and extensions across organizational networks. Its extension inventory, risk identification, allowlisting, permission controls, and distribution features suit teams that need to govern add-ons across endpoints. It supports Windows and macOS, and its stated browser coverage includes Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Ulaa, Internet Explorer, and other Chromium browsers. The product is self-hosted, so it is aimed at organizations that manage browser security as part of endpoint administration rather than buyers looking only for a lightweight extension catalog.
Extension control is a clear strength: administrators can identify potentially harmful add-ons, restrict extensions, approve selected extensions, and block extensions based on selected permissions. They can distribute extensions to groups or individual computers, while browser configuration policies extend control beyond add-ons. Threat prevention and data leakage prevention policies, plus browser health and compliance reporting, make it relevant where extension governance is one part of a broader browser security program. Buyers focused exclusively on extension inventory may find this wider policy scope more than they need.
The vendor offers a free edition for up to 25 computers and a 30-day trial. The listed Professional Edition is an annual subscription for 50 computers and a single user, with annual maintenance and support included; no price is stated here. Email, community, and documentation are listed support channels. Teams should consider this product if they need centralized browser and extension controls across Windows and macOS endpoints, especially permission-based restrictions and extension distribution. Those seeking a hosted deployment or a narrowly focused extension-only tool should compare alternatives before choosing it.
