This allows users to remain productive without compromising security or requiring permanent administrative access. Application Control Plus also provides centralized policy management, application inventory, software categorization, trusted vendor identification, and comprehensive audit trails to simplify administration and support regulatory compliance.

We have taken all of our applications that required admin access and are using ACP. Users no longer have admin access\! > > **Cons**: There are very few times that the agent has to be reinstalled. When this happens we have to get a hold of the user to fix the issue. Again, it does not happen often > > Overall we are very happy\! It is not the only application that we own from ManageEngine. Support has been great\! ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/435540/manageengine-application-control-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
