AMAZING experience from first contact through trial to purchase. Outstanding support! They are clearly listening to customer feedback and implement feature requests in short period of time.

PROS

Patchmanagement, Automation and ease of use had the most impact to our business and our processes.

It might not offer as extensive functionality as some of its competitors. Nevertheless, this also makes it lean, fast and easy to use.

Reason for choosing Action1

Cost-effectiveness: Action1 offers competitive and flexible pricing licensing options that make it more affordable.Feature Set: Allthough the feature set is not as rich as for other competitors, it covers the most important ones and therefore reduces our infrastructure support costs.Ease of use: Action1's user interface and overall user experience to be intuitive and easy to navigate.Customer support: VERY Positive experiences with Action1's customer support team and the availability of extensive support resources which is important for us in order to provide best in class service to our customers.

Great solution

Action1 is great. I love that they have a discord channel where you can talk with other users. I've received some great support from them, and from time to time the founders of the company even talk to us is the channel.

PROS

I love the fact that Action1 has many features straight out of the box. They market themselves as a Patch Management solution, but they do some great features such as software installation, Vulnerability scanning, and remote access as well.

CONS

The time from when you tell the system to perform a task, to when it actually does is a bit slow. Nothing too drastic though. we are talking around 30 seconds.

Reason for choosing Action1

Action1 did more than NinjaOne with a flat pricing scale. Ninja was so much for this, and so much for that type of pricing.

Reasons for switching to Action1

The price as it compared to the quality of the service.

A Platform that works great and a compony that cares.

I can't say enough good things about Action1. I leave two things here: 1.) 100 Free endpoints forever - no card required. This is great for smaller internal IT departments. They won't even let you make a donation towards the development. They are great people with a heart for service. 2.) They listen to their customer (whether they are paying or not). The roadmap is wonderful and allows customers to upvote feature requests and comment on what they would like to see.

PROS

- Roadmap: Action1 provides a public roadmap and allows users to upvote feature requests. The best part is... they listen to their users and are constantly involving. - Software Deployment: Action1 makes software deployment quick and easy. They have a Software repository with dozens of programs that are always up to date. You can also easily add your own software with all the parameters and scripting needed! - Easy Turn up: You can deploy endpoints quickly! - User interface - Automate deployment and patching - Reports: Built-in and custom - Scripting: Built-in and custom

CONS

- Need CLI Interface - On the roadmap - Need better remote desktop option - On the roadmap

Don't know how we managed without Action1

I can only say that Action1 is fantastic, and I hightly recommend it to anyone looking for a patch managment solution.

PROS

Action1 has been a lifesaver for us as a small ICT Team. We now have full overview of our fleet of windows devices and can see any updates or vulnerabilites at a pane of glass. In my team we often talk about how a great find Action1 was. We looked at different solutions, but they were either too expensive or did not have the features we wanted. We love how the team at Action1 regulary keep us up to date webinars, and frequently publish new features.

CONS

I can't think of anything I don't like about Action1. I do wish that we also could see our MacOS fleet in Action1, but the good news is that that is on their roadmap.

Reason for choosing Action1

Price is unbeatable and the features is just what we need

Reasons for switching to Action1

SCCM was to cumbersome and slow to update.
