What sort of management tools do the 4400 series WLAN controllers come with out of the box? Anything comparable to SDM/ASDM?

They have built-in web interface, CLI and SNMP. If you have few of those and want some centralized management option, WCS would be the answer.

WCS is really only useful if you have a large wireless deployment with multiple Wireless LAN controllers. The web-interface on the Cisco Wireless LAN controllers is very good for configuring and monitoring. WCS is a manager of Wireless LAN Controllers and rolls up alarms and events from multiple WLC's into a single console.
I did deployments where people were buying WCS for just 2 controllers. If you want to see heatmaps or track some wireless clients - can't do that on controller alone.
