Sentiment score

Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
They would literally write Playwright for you if you cannot get the element right.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
The customer support for Catchpoint is really good; they get you on the call and will assist you if you are mixed up or blocked with some kind of coding.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Atera excels in scalability and versatility, managing endpoints efficiently, but users seek enhancements in ticketing and functionality.

The migration part, especially onboarding a new application for monitoring, is seamless and does not require a lot of our effort and analysis.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Updating the license for the number of users is easy to do in Catchpoint.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees

Room For Improvement

Users seek improved access management, enhanced mobility, integration, customization, better controls, and scalability in Atera's platform features.
Catchpoint needs improvements in setup, user experience, navigation, API integration, pricing models, and international monitoring for better efficiency.
Some of the more advanced reports are locked behind higher pricing tiers, which feels restrictive.
IT Manager at Telstra
This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Atera's per-technician pricing allows unlimited devices, offering cost-effective scalability and predictability, ideal for enterprise users.
Catchpoint pricing varies and is consumption-based, favoring large enterprises but can be costly for smaller organizations.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is always a need to negotiate a bit more to get the best cost for the licenses we plan to buy.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Atera offers powerful RMM, automation, and remote access features, with unlimited endpoints and AI Copilot for efficient IT management.
Catchpoint offers synthetic monitoring, user-friendly dashboards, early issue detection, and global visibility, enhancing performance and reducing downtime.
Unlimited endpoints for a flat monthly fee per tech is a model that makes sense for us, since we are not paying more every time we add a new endpoint.
IT Manager at Telstra
We can run commands such as PowerShell, batch scripts, and implement automation.
Owner at Sytex Ltd.
Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing

IT Manager at Telstra
Remote monitoring has streamlined endpoint management and consistently reduced ticket resolution time
The best features Atera offers include the per-technician pricing, which is honestly one of the biggest things. Unlimited endpoints for a flat monthly fee per tech is a model that makes sense for us, since we are not paying more every time we add a new endpoint. The AI Copilot feature has been a nice addition that helps our techs summarize tickets and suggest fixes faster, which has cut our resolution times noticeably. The AI Copilot feature has specifically helped my team because the automation handles a lot of the routine work, such as patch deployments, maintenance tasks, and monitoring alerts. Atera has positively impacted my organization by transforming how our team operates day-to-day, and the pricing model is hard to beat. The outcomes or metrics showing how Atera has made a positive impact include the 30% reduction in ticket resolution time I mentioned earlier.

Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights
One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.
