Likelihood to Recommend	Action1 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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Alludo We had a medium size fleet of macbook pros that we had deployed and had parallels already installed on them. We looked into a way to standardize and track these devices and started looking into Parallels as a solution to help us with this. Parallels was a good fit due to the fact that most of these machines already had the base system already installed Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Action1 Customer service and support team are easy to reach and response time is really fast Interface is really user friendly and easy to use Samuel Couturier Owner Read full review	Alludo Central location for management via Webv Existing ecosystem for our mac users Trust and transparent set up from normal operations Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Action1 I wish the remote connection has a file transfer feature. I hope Action1 will implement DLP and Secure Web Gateway features in the future. VT Van Tran IT Coordinator Read full review	Alludo It can be a bit difficult with a large fleet of computers Can be a bit hard to troubleshoot if there are issues There are other tools that are cheaper that do the same thing albeit not as well Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Action1 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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Alludo We looked at a product called virtual box to do something similar to what we saw from Parallels but it was much more manual for us to deploy out the tool and we would have had to do a lot more work to manage all the systems we have in the fleet Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Action1 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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Alludo Easy to deploy out to our fleet quick turn around time to provision with parallels ease of use from end user perspective Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
