Great solution for small organization
- Customer service and support team are easy to reach and response time is really fast
- Interface is really user friendly and easy to use
- No iPhone or iPad app (at least as of now) could be nice to have eventually
Action1 Takes Action
- Customer service has very fast response times compared to other companies we dealt with in the past.
- Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution's engineers were able to help me resolve any issue I faced when attempting to set up a test environment and deploy software and scripts to a few computers.
- Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution has a user-friendly interface if you've ever used any kind of software deployment system before.
- Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution complies with HIPAA and FIPS
- Deploying packages with multiple files is a little tedious
- Have to use an auto-extract EXE file to copy files
Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution is well suited for networks of all sizes looking for patching, updating, and deploying software while being able to remotely monitor and manage computers from the cloud.
It may not be as well suited for companies and organizations with a very large inventory of software that's install contains more than one file or if software requires other files to be copied to a computer.
