ManageEngine DEX Manager Plus vs UXM

ManageEngine DEX Manager Plus collects endpoint experience data and turns it into analytics for monitoring and improving employees’ digital journeys. Its DEX Score combines performance, sentiment, and stability measures. Monitoring includes application crashes, hardware resource use, device reliability, responsiveness, and employee sentiment. The product groups related alerts into prioritized insights to support troubleshooting and root cause analysis. No-code workflows can clear temporary files, restart services, and apply fixes across device groups. Its action library includes collectors, workflows, scripts, and dashboards, with PowerShell, Batch, and CMD support. Active Directory integration can import domain-linked devices, create organizational-unit groups, and deploy agents using existing credentials. The cloud service uses a browser console and endpoint agents, with an optional distribution server for remote offices; agents are documented for Windows, macOS, and Linux. A 30-day trial covers unlimited devices, although cloud access is subscription-only. Monthly Professional Edition prices range from $49 a month for 50 computers and one technician to $634 a month for 1000 computers and one technician.
