We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would say it's the number one tool for all ITMS.""There are a lot fewer hardware replacements. Once people migrated from old style hard disks over to SSDs, you have things like hard disks filling up faster. So, I run a script to clear out all the waste, e.g., all the temporary files and downloads. A lot of our business runs through a custom web application that we built. This involves people downloading a lot of PDFs and Excel files, and not just having them sitting in folders. With Atera, I can just go through and clean the temporary files out.""Pricing is definitely my favorite part of it. It is also extremely easy to use.""Atera has helped me to provide more accurate solutions based on a given problem. For example, we base our solutions on event scenarios, like the alerts. We identify that there's a series of problems occurring in a particular area from the information provided by the alerts.""All of the features of Atera are valuable because they allow the customers to achieve their goals. It is easy to use, has good collaboration, and has zero maintenance.""The most valuable features of this solution are automatic batch matching and unattended support access.""It's very easy to use, not just for me, but even for people who have claimed, "I'm not very good at IT." Once you have it installed and you have it set up, it pretty much works by itself. It really helps you do what you need to do. It's easy to use for a beginner, compared to some of the other larger RMMs that are a little bit more complicated.""Atera has saved our organization money. We look at Atera as an extra employee that we only pay about $300 a month. This is incredible savings over having to hire somebody to do all the tasks that Atera performs for us."

"I have found the interface and ease of use valuable features. Additionally, it is very easy to patch VMs and other systems, such a Linux. We are able to do patches even without the internet manually.""I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature.""It is very easy to use, as well as extremely efficient and accurate.""The most valuable features are device management and support for upgrading applications.""We can set a maintenance window and push the patch.""We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices.""Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution.""The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."

Cons
"The mobility of Atera is also a feature which needs to be addressed so that it can be used on iPads, iPhones and things of this nature. I would also like to see an agent included on these devices so that I can monitor, maintain and manage them.""The chat solutions need improvement because we first need to connect to the customer. This needs to improve so that there is a particular feature that can provide support to customers even if they are not connected to a computer.""The billing module has a standard layout which is too limited for my needs.""Having more freedom to perform identity access management would be great.""The solution is scalable. However, in the past, we did have some issues.""There is definitely room for improvement with its automation capabilities.""The one thing that could do with improvement is the reporting. This is from someone who worked in an MSP, where I would want to run a report and be able to just present that to a client.""Customization could be improved."

More Atera Cons →

"I would like to have better support for the application.""The product's support and configuration need to improve. It needs to be more scalable.""It's a difficult configuration because you need to install many servers in a location, and you have to install the primary server in the main location.""There are times when there is an update that causes some issues. These issues should be sorted out before the release.""I tried to be a partner of Ivanti and, from this vantage point, the quotes are, perhaps, a bit high.""Customers sometimes ask about non-existent features, and we pass these requests on to Ivanti.""The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide.""Ivanti Neurons Patch for Intune needs to improve stability. We had issues with patching."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Atera happened to have the best pricing model."
  • "The value of the product is perfect, neither cheap nor expensive. I think it is the right rate. It would be awesome if it continued to be the same price because it is a great solution that I like. I like it because I'm not paying per device. I have some customers on monthly contracts and some of them are on break'n fix. If I have a client who is on break'n fix, and they need to pay per agent, then I am losing money. If they were ever to change structures, going to pay-per-device model, then I would need to think about changing to something else."
  • "With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."
  • "Our company is a startup. The initial reason I looked into Atera was the fact that you pay by the technician, not per-device. That means you are able to jump right in with a service without having a large overhead."
  • "Atera's pricing stays fixed and predictable, enabling us to add more customers and unlimited monitored devices. We still have a number of clients who fit a break/fix IT model. This is something where clients are complaining more about having to pay extra month-by-month for technology services. With Atera's model, we don't have to be going out and asking for more from clients each month. Right now, with where we are at in terms of scale, this is very important to us."
  • "One of the biggest issues I face is the need to pay per technician. I've dealt with other platforms that you need to have 250-500 devices. Even though the cost declines as the number of devices a person has increases, they still require you to pay for 250 or 500, respectively. With Atera, the number doesn't matter as you always pay the same amount. I approximate that Atera saves me $100 per week."
  • "As an internal IT, it's gold right there. It is money in the bank."
  • "It comes with unlimited devices, so the fixed price cost is taken out of my budget. So, I'm all good."
  • More Atera Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."
  • "The solution is affordable."
  • "While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."
  • "The solution is expensive compared to other products."
  • "The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."
