Overall Satisfaction with Atera

Used by the whole organization to support outside clients.
  • Follow up with issues and working to resolve satisfactorily.
  • Identify Chat feature. I didn't know about it until talking with Isaac.
  • After resolving issues, Atera has had a positive impact on my business.

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.

Atera Support

I would have given them a ZERO, but that wasn't offered.

Updated rating since communications with Atera over the past month has been very good.

Need to explain problems multiple times
Support doesn't seem to care
Slow Initial Response
I don't [recommend] spending any money with them. I can't trust they will bill accurately, respond appropriately or at all, successfully resolve any issue, allow access to the service.
