ManageEngine Remote Access Plus review
A broad remote administration suite with free access and flexible cloud or on-premises plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ManageEngine Remote Access Plus is remote desktop management software for IT administrators and help desk technicians. It centralizes attended and unattended access to managed Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android endpoints, while web, iOS, and Android support extend access across administrator devices. The product suits teams that need remote troubleshooting alongside device administration rather than a narrowly focused remote viewing tool. It is offered by ManageEngine, a division of Zoho Corp., and has been available since 2002.
Pricing is organized around a free edition and Standard or Professional plans, with cloud and on-premises choices. The Free plan supports up to 10 devices. Standard Cloud costs $10 per month or $100 per year, while Standard On-Premises costs $75 per year or $187 as a one-time purchase. Professional Cloud costs $15 per month, and Professional On-Premises costs $95 per year or $237 as a one-time purchase. The listed paid plans cover 25 computers and 5 technicians, making the free edition a practical entry point for small device groups and the paid tiers relevant to teams needing broader administration. A 30-day free trial is also available.
Its main strength is breadth: remote file management and transfer, session recording, task manager, registry, command prompt, event viewer, Wake on LAN, remote shutdown, reboot, power controls, chat, reporting, audit history, role-based administration, and two-factor authentication are included among the capabilities. Remote control of Android devices adds mobile endpoint coverage. Teams should choose it when they want centralized access, troubleshooting, reporting, and deployment flexibility in one product. Teams seeking a simpler remote-access tool with fewer administrative functions may find this scope broader than necessary.
