Quick setup and efficient automation boost IT consulting services
It would be beneficial if Atera implemented telephone support for general questions. When onboarding new clients and creating their portal, it would be helpful if presidents or company owners could see the current configuration progress step-by-step, rather than relying solely on email and ticket systems. The task system for technicians could be improved by adding recurring task capabilities. This would allow technicians to have checkmarks and task lists they can mark off as completed. While scalability meets growing needs, there haven't been many additions in the last two years. They are adding new features gradually, but there is always room for improvement.
Henry Mike - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Network Engineer at AT&T
Monitoring has delivered proactive issue detection and improves user experience across our apps
The best features Catchpoint offers are Catchpoint Synthetics, Catchpoint API test, Catchpoint Dashboard, and Catchpoint UI. I would like to add that Catchpoint UI is very user-friendly and with a basic introduction, anyone can just get started. When we talk about Catchpoint Dashboard, this is our one-stop shop for all our monitors. It has multiple widgets that display various application performance metrics. We use this feature immensely and it is of great value to our business. When it comes to Catchpoint Synthetics, it enables us to create our synthetic monitoring using Catchpoint. Creating the Synthetics monitors is easy and requires basic knowledge of Selenium and JavaScript. It also allows us to run the test from external, which is the backbone, and internal enterprise nodes. Additionally, Catchpoint provides detailed insights of each request that is involved in the application flow, which helps us in addressing the issue at the request level. With the help of Catchpoint, we are able to address issues before our customers. Our triage time has reduced. We are able to reduce outages and unwanted user incidents. We are able to get to the root cause of the issue efficiently post-implementing Catchpoint monitoring.
