Daniel Gombe - PeerSpot reviewer
Remote management and incident handling have improved with customizable alerts and efficient patch management
The best feature in N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management is the ease of use because I can remote into any machine that's under management without having to drive out to the customer all the time. It helps to reduce workflows because I can create scripts that I can automate, so I don't have to have many people working for me. It helps to reduce incident response times because it's a combination of tools that logs incidents to the PSA, creates tickets, and allows us to manage incidents all in one for an MSP. It does improve service delivery because we can see what's wrong with certain devices before even the customer has a problem, allowing us to remedy it with the necessary tools.
Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management is it provides an all-in solution for the different solutions."
"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 provides complete visibility for the client's infrastructure. Competitors support multiple platforms like Windows and Linux. We designed the agent for our clients, providing network discovery, so there's no need to go to each device individually. It is easy to deploy with a small address range."
"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."
"I find all features of N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management valuable, but the most valuable is its monitoring feature. The solution has great monitoring functionalities. For example, you can monitor a device in terms of its RAM, CPU, etc. You can also monitor the connectivity through N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, and you can also check whether a device is down or up through the solution. I also like that you can monitor Windows servers, Linux servers, printers, network devices, and virtualization servers such as VMware and Hyper-V using N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. You can also monitor disk utilization, HTTPS, whether an SSL certificate is valid or expired, etc., through the solution. Apart from monitoring, I also find patch management as one of the most valuable features of N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. You can use it for Windows updates, as a patch management example. You can even manage and monitor servers and backup services via N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, so whenever there's a backup failure or issue, you'll receive alerts from the solution, as long as it's configured as a Windows service, so you can even do a lot of preventive maintenance activities with the help of N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. The solution is one of the best RMM solutions I've used so far. It's user-friendly, and it's pretty easy to use because you only need one interface where you can do a lot of activities. As a technician, I'm always concerned with time because if I have to troubleshoot an issue or a major incident, if I have to jump into two or three systems and open a few tabs on those systems, it'll be very hectic, especially if I have to switch between each step to see what's going on. In N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, it's pretty easy to do because I have one interface and one tab where I can do a lot of processes and activities."
"The network device is a good feature. In a place where you need to monitor your firewall switches, you can add an RMM tool and monitor it on the same screen on the same setup for the same client. Network devices are very good."
"The integrated backup and the scripting are good."
"The details and the reports they provide are what I like, especially the details for almost the whole computer and the OS type."
"The most recent enhancements are quite remarkable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"We use the product to communicate."
"There are some great features."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"I like the possibility of using this software across different operating systems and clouds, such as AWS or Azure Cloud, while being able to efficiently transfer files and run the data."
 

Cons

"The SentinelOne integration is not great."
"It would be great if the pricing model could be improved and the solution was more affordable."
"The patch management of the solution could improve."
"I would like to see notifications sent with SMS."
"There is quite a bit of delay on the portal where we receive monitoring information from the endpoint agent on the remote device. Sometimes it gets stuck with no live response from the device, and you have to refresh the portal just to make sure that it's projecting the right information."
"The solutions could improve by adding more features."
"The product looks a bit old-fashioned."
"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."
"If you have one version, like if you have version 14, and the client has version 15, you can't access his computer. If the client is on 14 and the technician is on 15, he can't access the end user who's at home. So there's a disparity in versioning."
"The security of the solution could be more secure."
"One of the defects that I have noticed with TeamViewer Remote Management is that if I am on a certain version and the person to whom I am connected is not on the same version, then it does not connect at times until I update the solution."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"It could be more secure."
"If there were a way for users to do access reporting, that would be an ideal addition to the product."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"AnyDesk is easier compared to TeamViewer Remote Management since there is no password. We use AnyDesk more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is fairly priced."
"Out clients pay monthly for the license of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management."
"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."
"It's expensive and out of our budget."
"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."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
"It is a licensed product."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"We pay for a yearly license."
