Atera vs. Avast CloudCare

If you want an extremely small, easy-to-install setup for your servers that manages your machine's IT part hassle-free and integrates with some amazing third-party tools at decent pricing, you should definitely go forward with Atera. However, the tool does have certain limitations on aspects like features and customization, so do check if Atera has those features you require before subscription or trial.

It's well suited for any Windows environment. It doesn't slow the PC down and it's very effective at what it does.

As of right now, we have found nothing that can offer as many features as Atera does along with the affordability. They are doing monthly releases each month and not just making small changes (shared scripting library, chocolatey support, Install packages, Splashtop SOS support, Scheduled tickets to name a few). The uptimes are great and accessibility to the dashboard has yet to be limited. We are a happy customer and bordering on fanboy status now

Atera support provides answers to my questions lightning fast. They have never left me feeling like I'm out there on my own. I can ask questions by email, or by chat, or by opening a ticket with them and they are always on it quickly. They also have a forum where other Atera users can help you if you need it, and you can also add feature requests via the forum.

Because Atera is a much more effective and efficient solution to manage all our IT operations, it automates each of our business processes. It offers us the best support to respond to any problem that may arise. I think Atera is much more cost-effective and reliable; its value is justified with each function and satisfies all our business needs and requirements.

Avast CloudCare is less of a memory hog than several other vendors like Norton or Trend. The ease of deployment for 1 or 100 computers is so simple and straightforward.

• The intuitive user interface has enabled both users and support technicians to familiarize themselves quickly with the functionality, and the learning curve is less.
• Some features need to be accessed through documentation; they're not available directly on the dashboard.
• Sometimes, internet access plays a significant role, whereas low connectivity is a hindrance.

• Positive: we have our customers supported better than ever
• Negative: But not really, we have lost billable time due to our customers having [fewer] virus infections than ever before.
• We had one incident where we had to credit a customer because the backup failed and did not report correctly and the customer lost some data.
