We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has reduced the time it takes to resolve 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.""Although limited to 100,000,000 events per engine, it is suffice to do investigations for more than 30 days.""I like everything about this product.""With this solution we are able to link issues to automatic actions that will solve the problem.""The auto building capability has been most valuable. It keeps on checking the system in terms of various factors like battery, memory usage and application usage.""The search engine functionality that Nexthink has on the finder is terrific.""This is a proactive management tool and we make use of the metrics, dashboard creation and complete remote actions on end user machines."

"It's a simple product.""The most valuable feature of QualysGuard Policy Compliance is the automation that can detect real-time threats and decrease risks."

Cons
"We would like to see the reporting in this solution improved. At present there are gaps in the data it reports.""It lacks a library for standard EXEs to be named automatically.""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.""It lacks support for IoT and most network equipment.""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.""The solution could use better automation and less coding. Since I am part of the administrative background, I'm not completely into the development side. I'm not well versed in coding.""The stability of this solution could be greatly improved to avoid performance issues.""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."

"The reporting needs improvement.""It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More Nexthink Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it is neither expensive nor very cheap."

    About the Nexthink Experience

    Nexthink aims to eliminate the barriers to a better digital experience by accelerating innovation across all endpoints. How does Nexthink work?\

    • Analyze: Nexthink captures and visualizes event-level data so the user can be on top of connection failures, application crashes, and software installs. Nexthink Analyze also gives the user the ability to correlate employee sentiment with technical metrics. Those metrics can be quantified, and the user can improve employee sentiment through the given score.
    • Act: Using an extensive catalog of one-click, automated actions, users can fix common IT issues and give their support desk the ability to resolve incidents remotely. In addition to automated fixes, users can install software and update critical services quickly through customized remediation scripts.
    • Engage: IT teams engage in a two-way communication tool to help with submitted tickets. With an attention-grabbing notification, employees will become aware of critical information and can then fix problems more quickly.
    • Integrate: Personalize and enhance your business and IT processes with a large range of integrations and connectors. Users can import and export data, optimize ITSM solutions, authorize employee chatbot self-healing, and enhance Service Desk efficiency.
    • Application Experience: Users can combine Real User Monitoring and Digital Employee Experience to gain the visibility and actionability needed to manage these applications properly.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Nexthink is a leading solution in digital employee experience management software because it gives valuable advice and actionable steps into employees’ daily experiences.

    A tech specialist at a tech services company writes, "The initial setup is very simple."

    A second-level support team leader at a consultancy agency notes, "The solution’s visualizations are very good. It's very easy to use them... We can give our senior managers, our directors, and our partners a dashboard at a very high level. They can very easily start to drill down by clicking through the dashboard and find stuff that doesn't look right. And our technical teams can use the same thing to identify problems in specific locations."

    Qualys Policy Compliance (PC) automates the collection of technical controls from information assets within the enterprise, and maps this information to policies to fix and document compliance with regulations and business mandates. It provides compliance reporting by leveraging a comprehensive knowledge-base that is mapped to prevalent security regulations, industry standards and compliance frameworks.
