Action1 vs NoMachine Enterprise Desktop

If you need a solution to help you remotely manage your endpoints this is a no-brainer. I highly recommend signing up for the trial and pushing the agent out to a few endpoints to test

If you just want to connect to the server and do work (like Linux server-workstation type), NoMachine Enterprise Desktop is great, except for the keyboard mapping issue, which you have to correct in a setup of the remote server (almost) every time you log on. The graphics are smooth and fast. Overall response speed is very good, too. I like it.

• Customer service and support team are easy to reach and response time is really fast
• Interface is really user friendly and easy to use

• Secure connection
• Fast response over internet
• Really look like you are sitting in front of the machine you are connecting.

• Would appreciate two factor authentication via Google Authenticator or a similar app.

• Keyboard mapping between client and host is often screwed up.
• Cut and paste between client and host is not convenient
• Would be nice if there was a function of simple file transfer between client and host

I haven't consulted with customer support, so I don't have an opinion. However, from the usefulness of the product, I think the support is also good

Action1 Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution may not be as feature rich as SCCM and Intune, but it does its job without having to set up and support additional infrastructure on your network. It's more user friendly than ManageEngine's Desktop Central but does most of the same tasks you would be getting from ManageEngine's cloud version of their desktop management system.

Again, the NoMachine is a real virtual terminal, and you don't need to install another Linux on your machine to fully exploit the X-terminal function. This makes the disk and memory usage of the client minimum. No issue on the screen. It is really good.

• ROI = Time saved for us.
• The Action1 agent has allowed us to maintain the security of our endpoints by allowing us to update all software on our fleet of devices.

• It makes the access to server much easier and convenient
• Connection is very stable, which makes works very efficient
• I don't need to reboot my Windows PC to switch to Linux in order to fully exploit the working environment of the server.
• No negative impact
