(Original )Information
What do you like best about Action1?

Action1 has been a game changer in supporting our environment. Having both full remote and hybrid workers, we needed a solution to better support them and not having to rely on having them connect to our VPN to push updates and applications. With Action1 being a complete cloud platform, now all our users need is an internet connection for us to support them.

With just a few clicks, you can remote into someone's computer to help walk them through an issue, install and remove software, see what updates are missing, and so much more. I can build custom installers and scripts in just a few minutes. The interface is straightforward to use.

I've been in IT for almost 20 years and have used many different RMM platforms over the years. The support team at A1 is fantastic and fast to respond to any questions and issues that we are having. Action1, hands down, has been the best of all of them. I don't know of any other platform letting people use 100 Endpoints for FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Action1?

For our environment, the 2 most significant things that are missing are the ability to run actions as the logged on user (current user) and deploy a custom image to a computer. The other thing that's missing is you can't transfer files with the remote desktop. But the platform continues to evolve, and new features are constantly added. You can even see what they are working on with the Roadmap page. https://feedback.action1.com/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Action1 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Action1 is helping streamline our updates and software deployments in a way we didn't think was possible. The money we save going to this platform vs what we had before was a no-brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Action1?

I was skeptical at first, but then I gave it a try and I am very happy with this platform. I have used many different platforms to patch machines, including Intune/MECM and nothing is as good and easy to use as Action1. Not only did it patch our client machines, but it also patched other software that was installed on the computer (SQL). On top of this, you get 100 free clients, this is unheard of in the market. I highly recommend using Patch1 to anyone serious about patching their machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Action1?

I have yet to find anything that I dont' like about the product, we mainly use it for inventory and patching and it has fullfilled all of our requirements. Looking forward to SAML SSO feature that is on the roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Action1 solving and how is that benefiting you?

With all the cyber security threats happening out there, it is critical that we patch the workstations and servers we are maintaining in a reliable method, Action1 was a perfect with in solving this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
