Bengaluru, Feb 20th: ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corp., continues to strengthen its position as a trusted IT management and cybersecurity partner for organisations navigating rapid digital transformation. Founded in 2002 with a vision to build simple, easy-to-deploy tools for small and medium businesses, ManageEngine has evolved into a comprehensive, end-to-end IT management platform supporting over 10,000 customers in India.
Headquartered in Chennai, ManageEngine traces its origins to 1996, when it was founded as AdventNet. In 2002, the company rebranded as ManageEngine with a singular focus on building and perfecting IT management solutions. Today, it operates more than 38 offices across India and over 35 globally, serving customers in 180+ countries. ManageEngine employs over 6,000 people worldwide and offers both on-premises and cloud solutions, supported by around 20 global data centres, including two in India, in Chennai and Mumbai. In Bengaluru alone, the company serves over 1,000 customers through a dedicated local operations and support team.
Arun Kumar, Regional Vice President, Revenue and Growth, ManageEngine, said, “AI is accelerating enterprise innovation, but it is also accelerating cyber risk. Organisations need robust, reliable, and resilient infrastructure to stay ahead. Our mission is to ensure businesses can innovate confidently with secure IT foundations that power growth.”
Over the years, ManageEngine has expanded from standalone tools to an integrated suite of more than 60+ products spanning IT service management, infrastructure and network monitoring, unified endpoint management, cybersecurity, Active Directory management, IT analytics and compliance reporting. Its unified platform delivers visibility and control across five critical pillars of enterprise IT: people, endpoints, applications, infrastructure, and data. This enables organisations to track hardware and software assets, ensure licensed and updated systems, enforce password policies and rotation, manage patches, enable secure remote access with session recording, and implement maker-checker processes and structured change approvals, all within a single ecosystem.
Strengthening its AI-driven capabilities, ManageEngine recently introduced causal intelligence and autonomous AI within its full-stack observability platform, Site24x7. These enhancements combine predictive anomaly detection, domain-aware event correlation and governed workflow orchestration to help IT teams cut through alert noise, identify root causes faster, and reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR). By integrating controlled remediation workflows powered by Zoho’s orchestration platform, Qntrl, the company is enabling more autonomous, self-healing IT operations while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and auditability.
Romanus Prabhu Raymond, Director of Technology, ManageEngine, said, “As IT environments become more hybrid and interconnected, visibility and context are critical. Whether it is compliance under DPDP or faster incident response through causal intelligence, organisations need clarity on what is happening across endpoints, applications and infrastructure. Our platform helps enterprises not just detect issues but understand impact and act with confidence.”
With India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act coming into effect, enterprises must ensure explicit customer consent, purpose limitation, breach reporting within 72 hours and stronger accountability in data handling. ManageEngine is aligning its internal processes and product capabilities accordingly, building on its compliance with global frameworks such as GDPR, Cyber Essentials in the UK and Essential Eight in Australia. Its solutions support compliance demonstration through detailed reporting, telemetry analysis and policy enforcement across endpoints and assets.
Rakesh Jayaprakash, Product Head, ManageEngine, said, “Digitally transformed organisations must operate with the assumption that they are under attack. Our approach moves enterprises from fragmented defenses to unified resilience, while combining asset visibility, endpoint management, analytics, zero-trust access and automated workflows into a cohesive, secure platform.”
As enterprises increasingly collaborate with contractors, suppliers and gig workers, traditional VPN-based models expose entire networks to risk. ManageEngine enables zero-trust access models that provide application-level access rather than network-wide entry, improving monitoring and reducing exposure. The platform also supports RBI mandates and other industry requirements across BFSI, IT & ITES, manufacturing, healthcare, education and government sectors.
As organisations transition from on-premises systems to cloud, hybrid and AI-driven environments, ManageEngine continues to empower enterprises with unified, secure and intelligent IT management, helping them strengthen operational efficiency, enhance employee experience, and build resilient digital enterprises for the future.
