  • The deployment is very easy. We just installed the agent software to our endpoints and they were connected to the Atera central dashboard.
  • Managing endpoints are very user friendly. We can provide almost every necessary support to end user.
  • The overall UI is very administrator friendly.
  • Work as a digital inventory.
  • Sometimes uninstalling software from the remote endpoints doesn't work properly.
  • Endpoints can be connect instantly and the good thing is operations like shutdown or restart work pretty quickly but while running script to remote devices, it lags sometimes.
  • Can't retrieve hardware information's from clone PC but works pretty well in case of brand PC's

  • In my view the PSA module makes it easy for technicians to manage tickets by creating , assigning, tracking them efficiently also It automates ticket routing that will ensuring that client support requests are directed to the right technician based on rules along with the priorities, that smoothes the resolution process from query to completion.
  • I like this feature that is automated patch management. devices stay current with the latest security updates, minimizing vulnerabilities. It schedules deployments during off hours, minimizing disruptions
  • & automatically deploys critical patches across multiple client networks.
  • The platforms real-time monitoring keep a close eye on IT systems, spotting issues like low disk space or high CPU usage promptly. For instance If server disk space becomes critically low IT instantly alerts administrators. alerting them to act proactively & prevent system downtime.
  • the ability to create custom reports with specific metrics and filters that will be beneficial for MSPs who getting deeper insights into their operations.
  • The interface is bit complex for new users. Simplifying the user interface & giving more intuitive navigation can improve the user experience.
  • The mobile app doesnt have some features and functionalities available in the desktop version.

  • Remoting in from anywhere, even on my phone or tablet, has enabled me to quickly diagnose, or even fully resolve, problems.
  • The ticketing, once users are set up, is a breeze. It also keeps everything in one place for them.
  • With Atera the need to travel on-site has been dramatically reduced.
  • Atera does not yet have a MDM system, but I have been told that it is in the works!
  • Sometimes getting around the admin section of the IT side of Atera can be tricky, but the webinars and chat support help.
  • Many of the demo and onboarding agents are based in Israel, so it can be a challenge to find available times during the day while living in the United States.

  • The dashboard is very neat and clean. Very user friendly too!
  • Network discovery feature allows us to easily organize the newly added host.
  • The agent is very light and does not affect the system performance.
  • Tickets can be prioritized with various level like low, high and critical which helps us to decide where to look first.
  • Admin console provide great visibility over the entire infrastructure.
  • There should be more reporting options like top 10 alerts by low/high category.
  • In terms of clone PC, Atera agent can't retrieve all the necessary information's but does great if it's a laptop or brand PC.
  • Anydesk for remote connectivity is not available anymore. I hope they will consider anydesk again!

  • All in one ticketing and remote access directly from the ticket.
  • Integrating AI into the software has helped, especially in the Command line interface.
  • Multiple options for remote connections.
  • Reactive and helpful support in the live chat.
  • Can definitely improve the ticketing/helpdesk side of things. Lacking a few options that other systems have.
  • Reporting could be improved with a bit more control.

  • The overall ticketing dashboard is very much comprehensive
  • We can directly convert emails to tickets which makes our work very much efficient
  • AI enabled ticket tagging helps quicken our entire business process
  • The lead time for patch management can be made a bit better
  • The customer support response time is little long in my opinion and can be made quicker

  • Scripting
  • Automation
  • Ticketing
  • Some basic functions need some extra work
  • Some basic things are behind paywalls
  • Feature board is not credible. Ideas taking very, very long to implement
  • Atera has no clear road map
  • SNMP monitoring needs a make over and needs more options

  • Support, if you need them they are there and they always have the answers you need.
  • The AI scripting features allow you to really hit the ground running. You can give it a prompt and it will give you a script that will be very close to what you need. All you have to do is polish it up and test it out.
  • I love having the ability to use multiple remote access tools, in the event a machine has an issue with one of them, or if a cloud service goes down, you have a fallback.
  • The shared script library is an amazing resource for troubleshooting and streamlining.
  • The development teams are open to adding features and have done so frequently based on user requests.
  • The ticketing feature is usable, but still needs improvement. The inability to attach a user to multiple machines is, in my opinion, a questionable design choice. You are able to attach multiple users to a single machine though.
  • The AI features are a great starting point but frequently miss the mark on giving you a fully working script that you can just deploy. You will always need to test and troubleshoot them.
  • I think the shared script library is a mess of incomplete and poorly documented scripts.

  • You pay for one Admin Seat. With that you can maintain an unlimited number of devices.
  • Atera notifies me of any issues with specific devices promptly.
  • Patch updates can be pushed easily, keeping devices up to date.
  • Integration and adding devices is very easy and efficient.
  • Simplify setup of parameters for notification. Currently, it is a cafeteria plan. pick and choose from a host of them. I would rather have the option to choose "don't bug me" or "fill my inbox with alerts" and a few in between choices.
  • In my opinion, quietly update and improve. In my opinion, don't act like every month is a WOW! update.
  • Support for MDM, setup and administration of iOS devices. In my experience, I'm using a separate service now, and not satisfied with the results. I believe this is in the works but not launched yet. I would be willing to guinea pig for them. For every laptop we have out there, using Atera, we have iPads and iPhones as well.

  • The ticket system is fast and well organized to keep things on track
  • The ability to use multiple types of remote access software with it allowing us to use our favorite
  • The contact organization and search is helpful when dealing with large orgs
  • Some of the editing of fields or entries can be awkward at times
  • I would like to have the choice of audio notifications when tickets are updated or added

  • Very user friendly interface that makes it easy to work with.
  • Integrates 3rd party services very well.
  • Makes assisting end users easy and efficient.
  • Folder management could be a little better. On some pages the folders are listed alphabetically and in others they are listed in the order of creation.
  • Would be nice to have the ability to customize the appearance of our customer ticket portal site.
  • We need a way to create a report that shows total ticket resolution times across all tickets and also on a per technician basis.
