Action1 vs. Avast Business Hub

If your organization is like mine (nonprofit and tight budget) this product is for you. The first 200 endpoints are free and being we are a small organization, this product is perfect for us. I was able to use Action1 to upgrade all my endpoints from Windows 10 to 11 pretty much effortlessly. If you are not a nonprofit and have more endpoints over 200, this is still a great product to use as I don't find it very expensive to incorporate into your infrastructure.

It is mostly good in any area, since it allows you to have all your computers under supervision, displaying their status, the operating system they have, the status of their antivirus, when it was last reviewed, among more very complete functions for work teams in which there are several existing equipment in use

• Easy remote access to devices. That simple. We have some very unskilled users in the field where asking them to access their PC via conventional remote tools like TeamViewer, Anydesk, etc. was always a pain. Now, all they have to do is ensure their PC is online, and we can connect to them.
• Remote software deploy. Before Action1, we did have some GPOs and scripts, but again - being able to deploy to PCs outside of our office/LAN, is just beautiful. On top of the standard repository, being able to create new packages is very useful for our scenario.
• Inventory Reporting. Recently we had to identify PCs running old versions of Windows. Can't highlight enough how easy it is.

• Keep all your devices close at hand
• Notify in real time when a virus is detected when I want to enter a website
• Notify in real time when a virus is detected when checking an email and it is suspicious
• Helps to increase the performance of the equipment, eliminating junk files and/or applications that have not been used for a long time
• You can schedule a complete analysis of your computer to find out what state it is in and if any of the software files have a virus
• Show scan reports

• Remote Access could use added functionality
• The deployment screens for update deferrals can be hard to understand at first and easy to skip since it carries some default info when you create a new automation rather than a more conspicuous prompt to update.

• Show all the services that can be paid for and list them right there within the software to decide to add them and pay for them, instead of appearing from time to time or when an action is performed and saying that for better optimization pay for a service extra

Action1 has taken many of the tasks that are time consuming and made them simple automated tasks that can be run on a schedule. I can schedule tasks to run off-hours and know that they will be done and I no longer have worry about it. As someone who does IT support for a living, it just makes my job so much simpler with less stress.

I never contacted support services

After looking at different solutions, Action1 [Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution] was the perfect fit for us that delivered all of the features we wanted without being as costly as some of the others alternatives we've looked at. There was no minimum endpoint count and they even offer up to 50 endpoints for free, which is really great for a small organization like us to help us lower our starting costs and still allows us to grow at our pace without having to commit to a defined amount of endpoints to start.

This to be able to keep everything safe and secure, so that the information is well, and thus it is easier to counteract against viruses that could be presented at the software level

• Saved hours per week on patching and able to ensure a 100% patching success rate.
• Able to create custom alerting on potential problems as well as able to create some automation to automatically address problems.
• Improved support to our remote locations and users.
• Custom deployments allow us to have a mechanism to deploy custom applications we build as well as other third party applications we need to distribute.

• Help reduce the vulnerabilities of computers and keep them safe from the different viruses that could catch emails, websites, memories and other activities for which the organization uses computers
