Action1

PRODUCT SUMMARY

Action1 is a cloud-based management system for internal IT departments and managed service providers. The platform features a standard monitoring and management tool, but the solution mainly highlights its patch management capabilities.

Use Cases

  • Patch management:
    Action1 poised its patch management capabilities as its cornerstone feature, allowing continuous patch compliance for servers and workstations.
  • Vulnerability discovery:
    The management and monitoring tool provides real-time vulnerability discovery, reducing security risks for the IT infrastructure.
  • Easy deployment:
    Technicians can quickly deploy applications and software to their endpoints.

Shortcomings

  • Software compatibility:
    The Action1 agent is strictly Windows. The core platform requires a Windows machine (Windows 7 or later) to function.
  • Navigation:
    More advanced features are buried within the platform, making it hard for technicians to locate them.
  • Reporting:
    Action1’s reporting section could be improved since there is currently no way to pull a report per device on all installed software.

NinjaOne vs. Action1 FAQs

Action1 is a cloud-based management system focusing mainly on patch management to simplify the deployment of critical security updates and ensure that devices are protected from vulnerabilities. NinjaOne, on the other hand, is a complete endpoint management system that goes beyond patch management. It has features essential to most IT operations, such as automation, backup and restore, and many more. It’s a comprehensive IT solution that covers a broader spectrum of needs, making it ideal for organizations seeking a more all-in-one approach to IT management.

Action1 doesn’t have a built-in ticketing management feature, making users integrate with other ticketing systems through their API for a more comprehensive IT management solution.

Action1 is limited to supporting Windows operating systems. It doesn’t currently offer support for Linux and macOS. In contrast, NinjaOne supports major operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring comprehensive management across your entire IT infrastructure.

Action1 doesn’t currently offer 24/7 live representative support, which may affect users’ ability to get immediate help with issues that arise outside of business hours.

Action1 is focused on patching Windows devices. It doesn’t currently offer support for mobile devices. NinjaOne, on the other hand, offers a multi-platform approach featuring a mobile device management (MDM) functionality alongside an Endpoint Manager that supports Windows and other operating systems, making it a more versatile solution for managing your entire IT infrastructure.

Action1 offers reporting features. However, the current level of customization might be limited for users who require highly customized reports with very specific data points. In contrast, NinjaOne’s reporting feature provides a high degree of customization, allowing users to drill down into specific data points and tailor reports to their exact needs.
