The Open Endpoint Manager (Theopenem) review
A self-hosted Windows management system with broad endpoint tools and a free tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
The Open Endpoint Manager (Theopenem) is an open-source endpoint management system for organizations managing Windows computers. Its server application and endpoint agent collect device information and apply policies, making it a fit for teams that want to manage Windows endpoints from a self-hosted system. Core tasks include inventory, software deployment, Windows updates, computer imaging, printer management, and tracking user logins and application usage. It is aimed at small teams through enterprise organizations, but the Windows focus makes it less suitable for teams that need a broader multi-operating-system management approach.
The product’s scope is broad for a Windows-oriented tool: administrators can schedule hardware and software inventory scans, deploy packages and custom scripts, and deliver Windows updates from SUS or Microsoft. Static and dynamic endpoint groups support scheduled policies, while computer imaging, power schedules, and printer management add operational tasks beyond inventory and patching. Active Directory integration and a REST API provide directory and programmatic connections. Organizations choosing it should be prepared to operate the server and endpoint agent; it is not simply a hosted service to switch on.
The Free plan is listed at $0 per year and includes the fully featured application, unlimited users and endpoints, and community forum access. Standard costs $1,499 per year and adds online support through Theopenem’s ticketing system. Pro costs $2,499 per year and adds remote access support; remote access also requires the optional Remote Access Add-on component. The paid tiers primarily distinguish support and remote access rather than endpoint or user limits. Theopenem is a reasonable fit for Windows teams that value self-hosting, open-source software, and a wide management toolkit. Teams requiring ticket-based support or remote access should account for the applicable paid plan, while organizations seeking a non-Windows-focused tool should look elsewhere.
