An easy-to-use and powerful device management suite

Incentivized

Tech Support Analyst in Information Technology at Trajectory LLC (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use N-able N-sight RMM to manage all of our clients' Windows and Mac devices. We're able to remotely assist clients, push security updates, script installations of software and much more. We manage about 400 devices across 25 clients. We also use the SentinelOne EDR solution that is packaged with N-able N-sight RMM to handle antivirus.

Pros

  • The remote access options are solid - you can take control, open a console, or a mix with file system access
  • Scheduled PowerShell scripts has been an easy way to deploy software using N-able N-sight RMM
  • The dashboard provides a good, daily overview of any devices with problems. The different daily/hourly checks provide good insight and often help us prevent problems.

Cons

  • Far too often, the dashboard doesn't sync correctly with devices and they show as alerting when the alerts have cleared.
  • The script runner sometimes error out and there isn't a clear reason why.
  • We often have overage charges when computers are put into spares and the dashboard doesn't sync correctly that their features have been turned off.
  • The chat feature sometimes just doesn't work, not sure why.

Return on Investment

  • We're able to assist most tickets within 10 minutes of receipt, often solving them in one touch.
  • We can set up hot swap computers for clients that we can remotely enable and create local accounts.
  • It saves our clients money as they don't need to spend on similar tools like InTune.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We can manage a large number of devices with very few personnel resources at our company. We have the peace of mind of having this large number of devices under control and receiving alerts in the event of any anomalies.

Pros

  • Peace of mind.
  • Total control.

Cons

  • Implement new features and improvements to the dashboard.
  • Remove antivirus (to leave EDR).
  • Do not apply price increases every year.

Return on Investment

  • Time savings in management.
  • Staff savings for large volumes of work.

C-Level Executive in Information Technology (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use N-able N-sight RMM as our primary RMM, which is deployed to all of our managed endpoints. It provides the primary method through which we remotely manage and control endpoints, provide end user help desk support, administer patch management, deploy software and settings and monitor system health, as well as provide mostly automated maintenance behind the scenes.

Pros

  • Remote Access - both Desktop Control and Background Access
  • Endpoint Health Monitoring
  • Automated Tasks & Maintenance

Cons

  • Software Deployment
  • Vulnerability Scanning & Management
  • There's a time delay sometimes on manually run tasks

Return on Investment

  • N-sight has allowed us to grow our endpoints under management without having to reinvent anything as we go.
  • It has enabled us to become more security-focused, and offer services that are well integrated and easier to manage in one place.
  • It's increased MRR (monthly recurring revenue) just by its nature.
