Action1

Product Summary

Action1 is a cloud-based management system for internal IT departments and managed service providers. The platform features a typical monitoring and management tool, but the solution mostly 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 ransomware 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’s currently no way to pull a report per device of all the software installed.

Cisco Meraki

Product Summary

Cisco Meraki is a brand within Cisco that specializes in cloud-managed networking solutions. Its mobile device management (MDM) feature, offered through Systems Manager, provides centralized management and security for various mobile devices within your organization.

Use Cases

Security:
Cisco Meraki’s MDM enforces security policies to protect device data, apply restrictions, and control usage with passcode policies.
Content management:
The platform’s on-device content management lets technicians deploy and manage apps, images, documents, and other files on Android devices.
Geolocation:
Cisco Meraki’s geolocation capabilities allow users to locate managed devices and enforce security policies based on a device’s location.

Shortcomings

Brand customization:
It would be helpful if the platform had more flexibility for customizing the user interface (UI) to match your company’s branding.
Log information:
The customer portal lacks some necessary log information, making it challenging for technicians to swiftly analyze and troubleshoot.
Limited integrations:
Cisco Meraki MDM reviews state that there are few third-party integrations available.
