Easy to Use

We have asked for enhancements and another report for client SLA reporting. They have been good in walking us through setting up the self serve portal and an additional SLA report.

PROS

We came off of a much expensive RMM tool. Atera has all the features that we were looking for. Adding another device to monitor is easy and does not increase your costs.

CONS

Since the time we started with them they have expanded their integration to billing and added an app that we can use. You get what you pay for and we are getting a lot more value than we got with our previous tool.

Reasons for switching to Atera

Primarily Cost and it was cumbersome.

Great RMM solution for standalone business with multiple locations.

We needed a RMM/remote connection solution for in-house IT ticketing and helpdesk for a growing eye care/healthcare/eye surgery company with two technicians, 8 locations, some in-house server/data management, and nearly 500 endpoints/workstations. Atera has been great to cover all those needs.

PROS

To be honest, the price is what caught my eye first. I assumed that when you pay less, you get a lot less, but that is NOT the case. Atera does exactly what we needed, and we don't feel like we are paying for option we don't even use. Solid reliable service.

CONS

Very few minor issues that aren't even worth mentioning.

Reason for choosing Atera

At first, price. However Atera was very full featured and well developed which was a pleasant surprise.

Vendor Response

Hi Adam, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review of Atera. Happy to hear that you came for the price, but stayed for the value you found in the platform! We hope that Atera continues to fill your needs as an MSP.

Quality has gone downhill

We have been with Atera since 2015. We have seen a lot of changes, most for the better. But at the start of 2019 everything has gone down hill. The site is slow, remote support (Splashtop) frequently goes down, and the lack of true support. What I mean by lack of true support is that they know they have a problem on their end, yet you get a canned response from them to flush your cookies and history. We are a IT company! We know a problem when we see one, and flushing our browsers is not going to fix the issues they are having. It is quite embarrassing when a customer calls you and you are unable to help them remotely because your systems don't work. Time to move to another RMM!

PROS

The price point for this product is excellent, if it worked properly.

CONS

Constant issues in the past few months. Cannot use remote frequently, it fails consistently since January 2019. Customer support is responsive in a canned response kind of way.

Vendor Response

Hey James, thank you for the honest feedback. As we continued on growing, and expanding our customers list, our old infrastructure was seriously tested, which could have caused performance issues, especially during peak hours. However, since 2019, we have added a new method of pinging agents, a back-up method as well, we have revamped the splashtop reliability and integrations, and we added many more features. In regards to the support experience, since Atera is a browser-based app, browser resets/cleaning the cache can help in several situations. This will obviously not fix performance issues, but it is a common troubleshooting procedure. We invite you to test Atera out again, and see the improvements made since 2019 for yourself, both in reliability, as well as in features.

Great software that keeps getting better!

It's a great product at a great price. I hope they keep improving and listen to the community that uses it!

PROS

It's easy to set up and use. All the features are there and they keeps adding more and fine tuning the experience.

CONS

The only thing that has been frustrating is the lack of multimonitor support in Splashtop (the main remote connection software). This feature is available in the regular version of Spashtop, the community has requested it numerous times but it still hasn't been implemented.

Reasons for switching to Atera

Cost was too high and felt like I was always tweaking the software to get what I wanted but it always fell short.

Vendor Response

Hey Josh, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. Happy to hear that you find Atera easy-to-use, and like the continually added features! Regarding multi-monitor support, you are able to do this with AnyDesk which is available on our Growth and Power subscription plans! Keep enjoying Atera, Josh!
