Atera has dramatically reduced the need for me to go out on-site for many issues. I had driven over 40,000 miles in 18 months before Atera. Now I spend much more time in my regular office while still supporting the users. It has also greatly increased the speed at which I am able to respond to …

With the exception of billing, which we don't use, the single pane of glass that Atera provides for all of our devices is fantastic. I can drill down to a specific device or see things at a department level. I can also see an overall organizational level if necessary. By automating tasks, my team …

I like the fact that Atera is an all in one solution: PSA and RMM in one. RMM and tickets are integrated and the things combine perfectly. They also do invoicing but that part is very basic IMO and I am not using that. Besides this Atera has a customer portal which looks great. I gives a …

It is nice to be able to have everything under one roof so to speak. At my MSP position previously we had many tools that forced you to jump back and forth between windows and tabs, there were always issues with the integration connectors, huge wastes of time. The ticketing system is lacking some …

Honestly, I don't use the billing portion, or reporting. I use Atera for one company. The other tools are available to IT providers who have multiple clients, and that is great. If I were to choose to set up shop for myself as an IT consultant today, you can bet I would buy a new laptop first, …

It has made us more profitable and helped to sell clients on the monitoring, patch management and inventory features we had to pay extra for with other RMM clients.

It's made most of our support be available in one spot. Their mobile app needs improvement though. We find it is a lot easier to fire up a laptop to see the desktop version. But it would be nice to use a tablet and access the same information. Other than that, we find the system has enabled us to …

The main thing we use Atera for is the remote management of our systems. We are an in-house IT Team, so we are only supporting our site. But even with that we have seen a significant increase in productivity for being able to provide customer support. We have even been considering implementing …

I have yet to fully utilize the PSA and billing aspects of Atera but do use the remote access and RMM extensively. I've begun to explore the other functions to see if I can do everything in Atera going forward but still have to get out of my old manual ways.

Usability

It was easy to set up but took some time to get it working originally. I wish the SNMP templates were in the product when we purchased it, as it would have cut hours off our onboarding of clients.

Pros and Cons
  • Follow up with issues and working to resolve satisfactorily.
  • Identify Chat feature. I didn't know about it until talking with Isaac.
Likelihood to Recommend
UPDATED:
After the review, I was contacted to discuss the issues. We had a good, productive discussion and plan to resolve issues.


My experience has shown they do not care about their customers, this is how I came to this conclusion:
  1. It takes them weeks (occasionally days) to acknowledge, respond/reply to requests (support or other).
  2. They do not respond to billing support requests. They haven't/don't fix billing errors.
  3. Blocking account login, when not appropriate.
  4. Sluggish/slow access, persistent lack of access for remote support option.
  5. Incorrect disabling of access.
