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.

Datto

Shortcomings

Patch management issues:
When patches and other related tasks fail, it’s difficult to troubleshoot since Datto does not provide enough specific error information for users.
Customer support:
Some G2 users have stated that Datto’s customer support can be inconsistent regarding response time and tailored answers to each IT ticket.
Full trial:
