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.

Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One thing that I'm most impressed by with Atera is how much they listen to their community to focus on more integrations."
"Measuring the integration is very helpful when using Atera Assist Test. It takes the solution to the next level by automating activities. It doesn't just provide the solution but also allows running scripts to fix issues before a technician has to work on them."
"I would say it's the number one tool for all ITMS."
"Atera has saved us a lot of time."
"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."
"Moreover, I find that if it wasn't for Atera, I wouldn't be gaining the number of clients I have and growing my business as I do."
"Just because it is low cost doesn't mean it is low quality."
"It is reliable, and when it is working, it works without issues."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."
"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."
"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."
"Unattended remote assistance is the most valuable for us – I save travel time and money."
 

Cons

"They are working on an update, and I would like to see more stuff outside of just computers and servers. Increasingly, we need to be able to monitor and manage network devices. Atera is improving on that already, which is one place that it is currently lacking."
"I would like to see more mobile device management. iPad is a big one."
"It will be interesting if Atera can integrate all kinds of products. In North America, there are a lot of resellers, like Ingram Micro, Tech Data, Arrow Electronics, etc. It would be amazing if Atera could integrate with these products. If they could integrate with these products for MSPs, it would be much easier. Then, if you are buying something, and need to add something, you don't need to jump from place to place because this is a very quick sales instrument for use on a daily basis."
"It will be interesting if Atera can integrate all kinds of products."
"Having more freedom to perform identity access management would be great — it's one of the things that are necessary for a lot of companies they secured."
"It should improve its processes."
"Reporting is probably the main frustration."
"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."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"Do not use the technical support."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."
"It comes with unlimited devices, so the fixed price cost is taken out of my budget. So, I'm all good."
"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."
"The solution cost approximately $200 Canadian per month."
"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."
"The price is reasonable for what we require."
"We pay per user. I am the only user. It is $150 per user. If I need to add one, it is not as costly as expanding with other providers."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
