Likelihood to Recommend Well Atera is a big platform with multiple features, I use Remote Session for Remote access and Scripting management for platform and application management in our network. In some cases if there is dependency on Driver version of hardware like network driver, I have also used Atera to push latest Driver to user machines which works like a charm. Atera is a really good platform.
Read full review Matrix42 is best suited for the environment where we need to manage the both, mobile devices and endpoints like laptops and desktops. This solution have the best compatibility with every type of endpoints and the functionalities and features are incredible. The dashboard gives the overall visibility and details needed for a endpoint. We can see what applications are running as well as services which are running. It supports multi OS. It is not well suited for environment where only laptop and desktop needs to be managed as we can have other solution in less price. For just managing the workstations like laptops it may be not the best tool as the functionalities will be limited as compared to other vendors in this price.
Read full review Pros Remoting in from anywhere, even on my phone or tablet, has enabled me to quickly diagnose, or even fully resolve, problems. The ticketing, once users are set up, is a breeze. It also keeps everything in one place for them. With Atera the need to travel on-site has been dramatically reduced. Read full review It has the ability to manage endpoints like mobile devices as well as laptops and desktops. Hence through single tool we are able to control every type endpoint which is the best feature so far. It supports every operating system like windows, mac OS , Linux, android, Chromebook OS hence it got the multivendor support. Every endpoint can be managed through a single dashboard hence it gives the best user experience. The dashboard is very user friendly and every function is clearly visible. We do not need to go into sub menu for detailing. The dashboard is totally customizable and gives the ability to control the endpoint in the best way. Read full review Cons Some basic functions need some extra work Some basic things are behind paywalls Feature board is not credible. Ideas taking very, very long to implement Atera has no clear road map SNMP monitoring needs a make over and needs more options Read full review The deployment and implementation process took very long as we encountered some bugs in the OS and every time installation got failed due that. It took so long to understand that which delayed the process so we moved to n-2 version. Hence, in new OS bug should be removed for smooth configuration and installation. The reporting part need to be improved as it is very basic and do not carry much information which is needed for auditing purpose. It should be made customizable and more type of reporting format should be introduced. So this the area of improvement. Third Party integration is not possible. This feature is lacking. For proper visibility and control management it should have functionality of third party integration so that we can take control action for non complaint system. Read full review Likelihood to Renew As of right now, we have found nothing that can offer as many features as Atera does along with the affordability. They are doing monthly releases each month and not just making small changes (shared scripting library, chocolatey support, Install packages, Splashtop SOS support, Scheduled tickets to name a few). The uptimes are great and accessibility to the dashboard has yet to be limited. We are a happy customer and bordering on fanboy status now
Read full review Usability In the past, we would have to remote into the endpoint to see what was causing an issue. Now we can check the portal and get a very detailed analysis of what's going on the with user's system. In addition we can run scripts and open a command prompt of the user's system without having to remote into the system and disrupt the user.
Read full review Support Rating Atera support provides answers to my questions lightning fast. They have never left me feeling like I'm out there on my own. I can ask questions by email, or by chat, or by opening a ticket with them and they are always on it quickly. They also have a forum where other Atera users can help you if you need it, and you can also add feature requests via the forum.
Read full review Alternatives Considered NinjaOne is a great platform but is simple overall versus Atera. Atera is so feature rich that it can be overwhelming at times but is worth the learning curve. Take time to go through the onboarding, reading the help articles, and even reaching out to support directly through the platform and you will make the most of all features.
Read full review Matrix42 Unified endpoint management supports different type of endpoints as well as multi OS is also supported which make it different from other vendors. The product got some good features which is needed for organization and during the demo it met our requirement and it was in our budget if we compare to other vendors. The solution delivers what it promises and hence proven to very useful for organization. Microsoft and Citrix TAC was also not good and supportive as we faced issue some issue during POC
Read full review Return on Investment The intuitive user interface has enabled both users and support technicians to familiarize themselves quickly with the functionality, and the learning curve is less. Some features need to be accessed through documentation; they're not available directly on the dashboard. Sometimes, internet access plays a significant role, whereas low connectivity is a hindrance. Read full review The product helped to achieve good profit as is it helps in managing the endpoints from remote which lowers the on site engineer cost. The ROI for this product is 75-80 percent as it is a agent based solution and deploying agent in a large environment is painful hence to achieve the full ROI will take lot of time. The solution is proven to be best for our organization as it helped to maintain the compliance of our organization be verifying the necessary application needed for the organization to make it secure.
