Patch management and Mac support was terrible with Solarwinds. Opened many tickets and it was always going to be fixed in the next update.
Atera worked for the start!
Cost of Solarwinds kept going up all the time and they added features we didn't need or use....regardless you …
Chose Atera
We have used LogMeIn before Atera and found Atera to be much easier to manage for the type of business that we provide. Atera allows us to do more specific monitoring for our customers than any other similar products that we have found so far.

I have found that large-scale adoption has its challenges, and it would be better suited for small-to-medium-sized businesses. Additionally, the connections have to be solid, which cuts down on the latency issues. Those companies looking to test a remote management tool may find that this tool is reasonable to implement and distribute. Those that are already experienced should have no problem.

Pros
Atera
  • Easy to deploy, both in general or to a specific customer.
  • Remote management tools that are in line with every other major solution out there.
  • Real-time alerts that allow for easy monitoring of vital systems.
  • Configurable threshholds on alerts so the system can be tuned to only notify when there is a problem according to certain metrics.

  • Fast remote access, no delay and no problem with computers with two or more screens
  • You can draw on the user's screen, lock the keyboard and mouse, and all of it is software that has logs for auditing
  • Central, also provides silent installation and helps with scripting for GPO enforcement which is a plus when working with multiple users
  • Lists all the computers in your domain that have the tool installed, just click on the desired computer to connect
  • Can remotely access the computer without the user noticing (hidden)

Cons
Atera
  • Ticket automation, more options to specific cases or conditions, and change client assigned to ticket, or be able to assign a ticket for the client without hassle of emailing them back or having to create a fake contact.
  • Include notes for client that are not file attachments, maybe integration with a cloud service like Google Docs or OneDrive.
  • Integration with other remote access tools would be helpful.

  • Pricing structure is a bit confusing - there are various add-ons that can seriously increase your cost
  • More integrations with software such as Antivirus vendors would be nice
  • No Chromebook client at all, and isn't as good with Mac's either
  • You can only have 1 technician on a PC at a time

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

What I dont like is when I run out of licenses that the only way to get more is to buy large amounts. this is very frustrating and as a small business I need to watch how much i am spending. smaller license packs would be better

Usability
Atera
Atera is very easy to use; anyone with a few years of IT experience should be able to use the tool without much training. Compared to some of the other tools we tried, the setup and interface were intuitive and easy to understand.

It outperforms other remote support options like Remote Connect. CMD instructions can be executed in the background without bothering the current user. I've used a lot of remote desktop programs, but this one is superior to TeamViewer and AnyDesk. more trustworthy and takes less time. Installing it in administrator mode is possible. It aids in cost reduction since waste is decreased by making sure to choose more suitable software solutions in accordance with a firm's requirements.

During our 6 years of use, we [have] never seen any downtime from their side. The application simply works. We have had incidents when we were not able to connect to remote servers by any means, but LogMeIn Central always worked. It has saved us trips to other offices. We have few users are who live in rural areas where internet speeds are not great. Supporting these users is a big challenge, but LogMeIn Central was always a lifesaver.

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.

This product was so easy to implement that it took me only minutes to be up and running and hours to configure it ready for release. Pricing is simple; you pay per user. As the IT dept is small, might I have control of the costs and can grow the system without occurring extra costs until I recruit more staff? I do not use the billing side, but I know companies who do, and they say it works really well and helped them increase turnover and track resources time.

The most valuable or powerful or reliable feature I'd say it's simplicity and easy to access and complete tasks on time. Its single pane where we have all the control systems, tools and features. I also like how the remote connection is stable and fast. The support is very reliable and top-notch.
