CTO at InTTrust SA

Ticketing has helped prioritize support tasks while contract and project management have required better integration and pricing flexibility

I don't know if N-able MSP Manager could have some additional features in the future to make it more competitive because it might already be available and I'm not aware of it.I cannot say that N-able MSP Manager dashboard is intuitive, but I don't see any big difference with ManageEngine. From the deployment perspective with N-able MSP Manager, I cannot have higher expectations because it is a SaaS solution, so it was deployed as is from the technical perspective. From the business perspective, the deployment is complex, but I cannot tell you that it is less complex than ManageEngine. The main reason that made me change my mind and proceed with ManageEngine is the availability of add-ons in combination with their pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a premier product and it has been around for a long time."

"I am impressed with the tool's integration with our mail system."

"I like that you can do all the things with it. You can patch, and you can run the scheduled tasks. You can remote in, upload files, and download files. You can log onto a computer PowerShell, or command prompt, without having to log into RDP. I also like its ease of use."

"The best advantage for us, since we use all N-able products, is that the MSP portal centralizes everything."

"At a significantly lower price, I managed to get project management modules, contract management, and CMDB, which were not all available in N-able MSP Manager."

"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."

"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"

"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."

Cons

"What I would like to see is a simplified solution that is packaged better, where you can easily implement or turn on the functionality that you need."

"Its reporting is lousy and bad. It is not as good as it should be. There is too much work involved to get what you want. Most times, you have to call them to customize some stuff. I just don't like that part. They need to work on their reporting. They have a way to go."

"I'd like to see a way to import contacts in bulk using an Excel sheet or another import method."

"The tool needs to improve its customization of the user interface."

"Comparing the pricing of N-able MSP Manager to ManageEngine, it is a little bit too high."

"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."

"Their live-chat support needs work."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Don't get scared of the price tag because it's definitely worth it."

"I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten since it's not the cheapest one in the market."

"I don't know the exact cost, but I know it's reasonable. Its cost of entry is not bad. I've had other organizations sign up for it. I don't know how much they paid, but it wasn't bad. You charge for every object. You charge for AV, and you charge for servers. There is a charge for everything or every object in that. I know we make money from it, but I don't know what it is."
