N-able N-sight RMM vs. SuperOps.ai

It's great for the basics of device management for Windows PCs, I wouldn't recommend it for Mac other than asset management. The patch management and monitoring templates are helpful for the day-to-day, and the "Take Control" feature for remote assistance allows us to provide fast service to clients - we often are on a machine within 5 minutes of receiving a ticket.

SuperOps.ai is positioned to be and continues to move itself in ways to be the best MSP platform available. Their PSA is so easy to work with it could easily reach past the IT industry as a service delivery platform for nearly any other vertical utilizing service professionals. SuperOps.ai doesn't work well for companies requiring complex tax assessment and calculations like telcos. They are slated to address this in the near future. (Written in 07/2024)

• It provides fantastic remote access capabilities. The Take Control tool gives us a robust platform that is capable of remote controlling almost any endpoint we need to and the chat, file transfer, and screen recording tools are all exceptionally useful.
• SolarWinds RMM is particularly useful as a single pane of glass solution that allows us to monitor and manage thousands of endpoints across dozens of different clients. It does a solid job of allowing us to sort, organize, and filter based off of who and what we want to see at any given time.
• Due to its client based nature, the platform excels at in-depth monitoring of services, event logs, and the functionality of systems with custom script checks.

Incentivized

• RMM automations
• Innovative multitasking via tab layout
• Scripting outputs and feedback
• Pace of development
• Accessibility of staff, support, and community
• Contract mangement

Incentivized

• UI speed and threading across multiple windows (1 window refreshing, causes all refreshes to hang).
• Load times in certain menus, regardless of server specs.
• Integration with 3rd party applications.
• Speed of dev team response in regards to existing features malfunctioning, or major bugs that Solarwinds does not consider major.

Incentivized

• Unreliable uptime – Frequent outages disrupt operations.
• Poor support – Slow response times and unhelpful assistance.
• Limited integrations – Lacks compatibility with key third-party tools.
• Buggy interface – Glitches make navigation frustrating and inefficient.
• Downtime all the time

The interface is easy to navigate. Setting up policies is straight forward. The antivirus and web filter are simple and exceptions are easy to make. Upgrading the agent is made simple and creating scripts is made fool proof. (Well, almost)

In my opinion, SuperOps.ai is unreliable and inefficient. I feel frequent downtime makes it impossible to access critical data, and when issues arise, support is slow and unhelpful. In our case, we repeatedly requested access to backups, but they failed to provide a solution, leaving our business paralyzed during outages. Instead of streamlining operations, I believe it created more problems and wasted our time.

The ease of use, full functionality, reliability and excellent support.[N-able RMM (formerly Solarwinds RMM)] gives users a full suite of tools with a single installable file. Unlike standard tools, you don't have to install several different executables to be able to have fully protected end points.

Ultimately, we chose to stay with N-able N-sight due to their competitive pricing and billing system that we integrated into our accounting. The other competitors do offer better-made modules/new technology, but we were not ready to make this big move because of the cost. In the future, perhaps, we will still consider NinjaOne.

We haven't seen this pace of development or support from any other player in the market both newer entrants and veteran competitors alike

• The ROI is immediate for us. The advanced alerting alone makes this product an ace in our bag. The confidence you have in your network is wonderful.
• Another big ROI we get from the advanced alerting is the peace of mind that our engineers feel. We are a 24/7 shop, so being on-call goes from being hectic to extremely manageable.
• The only negative I can honestly say is when the time comes to patch the product. Micro-patches are easy enough, but jumping versions can be a bit taxing.

Incentivized

• Wasted time and resources – Constant troubleshooting reduced productivity.
• Loss of revenue – Downtime and system failures disrupted client services.
• Increased operational costs – Had to invest in alternative solutions due to platform issues.
• Negative client impact – Poor performance damaged trust and credibility with customers.
