A good security tool for vulnerability assessment and asset prioritization
The support mechanism can be improved. I would also like to add that it would be great if we could scan a previous date or based on the previous date's updates. Like today, if I want to run that scan on a system, if a system allows me to exclude all the patches that were released after October 2020, it will actually provide a clearer picture. This is because in October, we had these vulnerabilities, and these vulnerabilities are fixed now. Anyway, there's no point in talking about improvements. Symantec has already told us to buy another product as they are discontinuing this solution.

Real-time data and insights with a smooth UI
The primary use case of Nexthink is for IT service management and ticket time reduction. We use it to get real-time data, as Nexthink provides data in real-time with a maximum delay of five minutes Nexthink is valuable for showing real-time data. We also appreciate the smooth UI and dashboard.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the vulnerability assessment and asset prioritization feature valuable."
"With this solution we are able to link issues to automatic actions that will solve the problem."
"This is a proactive management tool and we make use of the metrics, dashboard creation and complete remote actions on end user machines."
"It is a very stable product with regular security and feature updates."
"Nexthink's best features are Engage and Act, which we use in combination for self-healing use cases."
"We have found the combination of analytics and automation in this solution to be very valuable to our organization, as it allows for us to perform auto-resolution on customer issues."
"Nexthink allows our customers to have visibility into their whole environment and security. And it lets you install the agent as a package for selected users instead of every user. This helps cut down on the delay involved in a bulk installation."
"In the past two years, the biggest benefit is that we have been able to identify 57,000-plus defects. These are possible tickets that we are preventing by using Nexthink."
"All the features of Nexthink are really useful when it comes to providing visibility into the endpoints and the services that we are monitoring, but the most interesting and useful features are the campaign and remote actions."
 

Cons

"The support mechanism can be improved."
"They can improve the Nexthink action module."
"We've had some issues integrating Nexthink with the cloud, so there are some delays in bandwidth, causing it to slow down a little. If they added better integration with the public cloud, I would be more likely to recommend it to customers."
"It lacks support for IoT and most network equipment."
"There could be improvements in monitoring user sentiments."
"The next release could use some improvement in the tools that are provided."
"There are many limitations. If I'm using a Windows 10 system and Windows has certain restrictions, Nexthink won't be able to penetrate into the Windows OS due to those restrictions."
"They were having some limitations on the number of alerts that you can generate. This definitely needs to be increased."
"We have provided them feedback on a few changes we would like to see with how alerting can work. Rather than have somebody looking at the network, if network utilization goes above a certain point, it would be helpful if the solution issued an alert to the right people."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Symantec Control Compliance Suite was the cheaper option for us. But the main reason why we're still using it is that we purchased the complete suite back in 2011."
"With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
"I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
"Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
"There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."
