We are a small organization that had no 3rd party management for patching, software deployment, and Windows patching that we can rely on. Using Action1 has met all of those expectations and allowed us to make our organization safer, and helps us to maintain a secure environment for our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting used to the switches and abilities of Action1 are somewhat intuitive, but there are times when there isn't a way to accomplish something without additional software or powershell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Action1 is an easy-to-use RMM product. It allows for easy-to-use remote monitoring and scheduling of updates. Quick and light app that runs in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish Action1 had the ability to transfer files built in. I am often in need of transfering data to managed devices. It would be nice to push it through while I am connected remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No macOS suppoort but that is coming in '24 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Designed to help system users understand their role in helping end-users mitigate cyber risk.Action1 is lifecycle management and its process of using strategy and plan of what patches should be applied to which system at a specified time. It also allows system admin / technical support to manage easily via remote access without any other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Force system restart with limited option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, being in a SMB space, I love that Action1 is free with full functionality for up to 100 end points. This is a big deal for SMB because software licenses for such patch management software usually is beyong our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to find any downsides. The software works as advertised while free for under 100 endpoints. Really cannot beat that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So impressed with the ease of use and the functionality of this service, very intuitive to get started with.
Started reviewing our network and found over 1000 vulnerabilities over our workstations. We were under the impression that these machines were all pretty up-to-date but this really helped identify the issues and through the update and deployment features had all the issues resolved much quicker than possible by hand.
Combined with the remote access, I'm using it every day and feel confident things are being updated consistently and can use the reports to prove it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No complaints !
It would be great if detailed monitoring becomes a feature in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide range of update settings.
Clear view of the update status of devices
User friendly
Easy to update a full machine or ruling out the updates you dont want
PS scripting works great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Endpoint status doesnt correspond always what it should be like disconnected or connected.
3rd party software removal not so easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Third party patching, Windows updates, automations. Good workflows and scripting capibilities. We are able to apply patches to any device anywhere they have connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Adobe updates are challenging, having the abiltity to close Adobe before an update is applied would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
