User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able N-Able is perfect for an MSP environment. It gives all the standard functionality an IT professional needs out of the box and can be configured to show almost anything required. For example, we have configured a dashboard to show when our backups need attention for each customer. This is achieved by running a small script on repeat via N-Central everyday/evening, and the result gives us information on the dashboard to help us identify exactly what is working and what needs looking into.

Pros	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Remote tasks - entry-level techs can run basic tasks without physically touching a piece of equipment. Remote support - remote controlling user devices is easy and saves a lot of time with having to initiate a remote session. Management of devices, particularly patch management and anti-virus management - you can automatically approve and deploy patches and schedule automatic AV scans.

Cons	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Customer support just points to online guides and I feel they aren't helpful. During the trial they turn on a lot of features. In my experience, if you play around with the features, they charge you for them. Keep this in mind if you move forward with N-Able - they will charge for "trialed" services. In my experience, some services that you're being charged for can't be disabled or monitored by you or your team. You only see them on the monthly invoice. In my opinion, the "Scripting Automation" doesn't provide value. You're either going to be writing your own batch or Powershell to make scripting work. In my opinion, monitoring software deployments is painful. The default monitoring template can't be duplicated, edited, or referenced. You'll find that the default monitors in an unusual way and will throw needless recurring alerts into your ticketing system. To avoid this, you need to create a template from scratch which takes many hours to set up. In my opinion, they're more concerned about a quick buck than customer service. "Buyer beware" company.

Likelihood to Renew	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Overall we have liked our solar winds experience, however, as our company has grown to support larger enterprises, this product does not have the functionality that our teams need in order to fully support them. The lack of granularity with backups and lack of ability to support nutanix environments is slowly drawing us into the use of other tools. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Usability	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able The user interface is fairly straight forward, with logic groupings for objects. I did not deploy this software, but am one of the daily administrators. Once you get the correct agent package (Which can be a challenge) the integration into AD is not bad. The UI could be more customized, but that may have been a design choice. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Support Rating	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Every time we have reached out to SolarWinds they are quick to respond, even offering support chat 24/7. Their support team is great and works with you to find solutions to issues. They have taken items we had issues with before and used those to create updates so that the issue is handled better in the future. Incentivized chris maddox Senior Consultant Read full review
Implementation Rating	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Make sure if you your using a vm you follow the instructions for provisioning to the letter or it will be starting from square one Incentivized Howard Magnes I.T. Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Elecard No answers on this topic	N-able Our version of SolarWinds was old and running on old hardware, but it was way easier to setup and do things with. It did not do everything N-able does such as patch management, or at least we didn't have a module to do so if one existed. However it definitely seemed easier to use and possibly more stable.
