N-sight RMM provides comprehensive remote monitoring and management, enabling IT professionals to manage, monitor, and support IT infrastructure efficiently from a single platform
N-sight RMM delivers comprehensive visibility into your clients' infrastructure, outperforming competitors by supporting multiple platforms such as Windows and Linux. Our custom-designed agent streamlines network discovery, eliminating the need for manual device checks. With its easy deployment across a small address range, N-sight automatically identifies all networks at the client site and deploys the agent efficiently. The solution integrates various monitoring mechanisms, allowing us to manage hardware and software status, track assets, and configure custom scripts in conjunction with Active Directory. It also supports web protection and desktop encryption, all manageable from a unified dashboard. For clients utilizing cloud services, web filtering, or WebProtect, N-sight enables rapid deployment of web protection and antivirus software across thousands of devices. Its multi-tenant design is ideal for MSPs, providing separate dashboards for each customer and enabling client access to manage their own environments. N-sight RMM is essential for effective resource management. Clients appreciate the platform's ability to simplify operations, including dashboard access, asset tracking, report generation, and help desk support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"The details and the reports they provide are what I like, especially the details for almost the whole computer and the OS type."
"We like that this solution is in real-time, it gives us real-time monitoring."
"The most helpful feature is script deployment because we can create whatever we want to deploy on our devices. This works in a cloud environment, where we previously relied on Active Directory. Since the start of the COVID outbreak, all the staff members began working from home, and most of the people there did not use the VPN to transfer the policies."
"I'm really happy with the background remote access, which allows me to easily change system internals such as registry keys and silently execute commands using the command prompt in the background. This kind of remote access makes it easy for us to do our jobs without getting in the customer's way."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I like being able to get a picture of what's happening on a computer. I can just click on it, and I can see the CPU usage and the memory usage and what services and programs are currently running. I can connect remotely to a computer. All these are very useful."
"The reporting for this solution has been most valuable."
"The solution provides an administration panel where we can see what is happening on our client's stations, such as events, alerts, and all the software installed."
 

Cons

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"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 initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The alerts and reporting could be done a little more clearly. They are quite cryptic, and quite often, we seem to get a lot of reports just for a computer rebooting or going offline for a couple of minutes, which doesn't seem like it's that big of a deal. Reporting could be refined and improved, and they can make it easy to decipher the reports."
"The patch management of the solution could improve."
"It would be great if the pricing model could be improved and the solution was more affordable."
"We haven't had it for very long, and we're finally getting comfortable with it. The biggest improvement probably would be a little more clarification. It has few exclamation points or attention-getters when there is a computer that doesn't have the up-to-date patches, etc. However, it's not specific in terms of what you need to do. Sometimes, it says it requires a reboot, and you reboot it, but the same message still shows up. Sometimes, the messages that it gives you about how to resolve an issue are not very easy to understand."
"Kaseya is a similar product and they have easier scripts. If you want to deploy one software to 100 machines, we need to dig into it and then we need to create the script and work with the support team and then we can deploy that particular script. The pre-built scripted is the one thing that I would definitely like to have improved."
"The solutions could improve by adding more features."
"The product looks a bit old-fashioned."
"There are disconnection issues sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"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."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."
"Out clients pay monthly for the license of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management."
"As I'm not part of the procurement team and because I'm 100% technical, I'm not that familiar with the costs associated with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, but I can say that in my location, particularly here in Sri Lanka, it's more expensive than other RMM solutions. I'm working for an Australian IT MSP, and over there, the solution isn't as expensive, but where I'm located, it is, so this is the reason why sometimes, clients don't go with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. Licensing cost is also the reason why my organization is looking into Kaseya RMM. My current organization merged with another organization that's using both Kaseya RMM and Connectwise."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The product is fairly priced."
"It's expensive and out of our budget."
"I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to that since I set it up. It has per-user licensing. If I remember it correctly, it worked out to about $10 a month per user. There were no additional costs. It was pretty straightforward and simple."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"We use SolarWinds RMM on a pay-as-you-go monthly basis, so the cost can be highly variable because it depends on a few factors such as how many devices you need to support and what extra features you want to use. The more devices you have, the more you'll pay, and the same goes for extras."
