Pulseway has become the go-to tool for many users when it comes to monitoring and managing their clients' systems. It serves as a comprehensive solution that allows users to monitor both internal and client systems, providing timely notifications for computer problems, disk space issues, offline status, and more. With Pulseway, users can receive alerts for server outages, failing hardware, full drives, and CPU and memory exhaustion, ensuring that they can address these issues promptly. Moreover, the software's scripting ability enables users to run regular maintenance tasks efficiently.

One of the key use cases of Pulseway is remote management. Users can remotely perform tasks such as computer rebooting, making it easier to address issues without physically being present. This feature proves invaluable in scenarios where technicians need to manage end-user devices across multiple properties in different states. Additionally, Pulseway's desktop client is widely used for remote client support, enabling technicians to manage hundreds of computers without leaving their desks. The software caters to various roles within an organization, from administrators and technicians who rely on its robust monitoring capabilities to support teams who integrate it with helpdesk ticket management systems. It provides real-time monitoring, quick reactions to problems, and offers management tools and reporting functionalities that enhance overall system administration. Whether used by IT departments or individuals managing systems at home, Pulseway streamlines the process of monitoring and administering servers remotely while ensuring prompt alert notifications and efficient issue response.

High Configurability: Users have praised Pulseway for its highly configurable nature, with multiple reviewers stating that they appreciate the ability to monitor exactly what they need to. This flexibility allows them to receive notifications for specific events such as server shutdowns or reboots, while avoiding unnecessary notifications for desktop computers.

Efficient Device Management: Many users have found Pulseway's device management feature to be convenient and efficient. They highlight the capability of keeping end-user devices up to date without having to handle each device individually. This streamlined process saves time and effort for the users.

Reliable Remote Access: Reviewers have commended Pulseway's remote desktop client for its reliable performance even over slower internet connections. They emphasize that this seamless remote access experience ensures smooth troubleshooting and system management regardless of network conditions.

  1. Limited scripting functionality: Some users have expressed that the scripting feature in Pulseway could benefit from additional functionality, particularly in terms of better storage use and variable utilization.

  2. Difficulty with software deployment: Several reviewers have found the process of deploying software through Pulseway to be difficult and suggest that it could be made easier to use.

  3. Connectivity issues and lack of support: A number of users have encountered connectivity problems with Pulseway, leading them to lose connection and resort to using alternative remote control tools like ScreenConnect. These users express frustration with the lack of resolution from tech support when facing such issues.

Users have made several recommendations for Pulseway based on their experiences. The most common recommendations include:

  • Test Pulseway in your environment by deploying a few machines and using it for a few days.
  • Try Pulseway for Windows monitoring, as it is well-suited for this purpose. However, Linux users may find it slightly more challenging to understand.
  • Give Pulseway a try and you won't be disappointed. Reach out for a trial to experience its comparable tools for monitoring Windows machines.

Overall, users find Pulseway to be a budget-friendly option with robust tools that require minimal interaction. It is particularly beneficial for small IT teams managing larger companies. Additionally, users appreciate its real-time reporting capabilities to mobile devices and remote login capabilities.

Pulseway is our primary tool for the monitoring and management of clients. We use it to deploy all of our other tools, keep Windows and most major software up to date. We also use it to alert us to things like server outages, failing hardware, drives getting full, and CPU and Memory being exhausted. Finally we run regular maintenance tasks via its scripting ability.
  • Keep PC up to date.
  • Deploy software and tools.
  • Warn of hardware failures.
  • Monitor major systems uptime.
  • Scripting could have more features such as storage better use of variables.
  • Reporting could offer more customization
  • Software deployment could be easier to use
  • Scripting should offer a opportunity to run when turned on if the device was not available at the scheduled time.
  • Remote control tool is adequate, but we actually found ConnectWise Control to be so superior we purchased and use that most of the time.
If you have to manage a large number of computers, especially spread over multiple clients or a large physical area. This is one of the main products that allows us to act as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and actually manage our clients devices and not just react to issues as clients call them in. Clients really love the proactive approach it allows us to take.
  • Monitoring for issues
  • Software deployment
  • Inventory of device specs
  • Our company could not exist without tools like Pulseway!
  • Preventive maintenance saves untold technician time
  • Allows us to maintain more PCs with a smaller team then otherwise possible.
The 2 major factors were:

1. The fact there was no contract, we believe vendors should have to validate the usefulness of their product and their support to their customers every day, not just 1 or 2 months every few years. This is the same reason we allow our clients to leave at any time if we fail to meet their standards.

2. The ease of managing the product, we demoed other products that would have almost required a full time employee just to manage the RMM tool itself. The ease of use of Pulseway meant a tech could manage it as part of their other duties much improving the ROI.

Note: We also felt NinjaOne met these same conditions but we evaluated it after having used Pulseway for a few years and while we found it a great product, possibly even superior, we didn't find enough reason to go through all the work and retraining to change over.
