Efficient and free up to 100 devices

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Action1 from other similar products?

Cost, ease of implementation.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Cost for sure, but I also found everything to be quite simple to use. I particularly like that it is linked to CISA regarding vulnerabilities and the ability to quickly deploy remediation to a few or all at once.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not having the capability to copy/paste to/from client, lack of being able to send remote keys through, such as ctrl, shift esc for task manager, or windows key for start menu, so quite minor.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are looking for a solid solution, whether you use the free 100 licenses, or go over that and pay for them, this solution is awesome in allowing you to easily remote support, patch and even uninstall software in just a few clicks.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Trustworthy
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service

Protector for Endpoint Security

10 /10

What differentiates Action1 from other similar products?

Its remote patch management capabilities ensure devices across various locations are secure without requiring physical intervention

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

when managing endpoints in satellite offices or remote teams, I can ensure everyone’s systems are secure without disrupting their daily tasks

What do you dislike most about this product?

The reporting feature could use a bit of polish. While it provides all the essential data, the customization options for report layouts are limited. For example, I sometimes need specific metrics for our executives that require manual tweaks after export

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Speaking from experience, if you’re managing a geographically dispersed team and want a straightforward tool to tighten endpoint security, Action1 is a solid choice.

The best in RMM and patch management

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Action1 from other similar products?

The fixes are top-notch, and everything runs well. The Action1 crew keeps you up to date on the specifics of any necessary security updates. Their platform is efficient both in terms of automation and user-friendliness.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It may be set up and integrated into your existing infrastructure with minimal effort. Because both you and the customer can see what's happening on the screen, using remote desktop features might be helpful for troubleshooting software or hardware issues.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The world is not without its flaws. The Remote Desktop software has a few issues. When using a remote desktop, users sometimes experience issues with using their keyboard. Furthermore, even if we manually apply the update policies we've defined, occasionally they still don't take effect.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I really like their app store. Even though Action1 meets all of our needs, they are always receptive to our suggestions for improving the product and adding new features. This RMM is reliable and effective. You may see for yourself by trying Action1. Thanks to the Action1 Group!
