Featured Reviews

Richasvi Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to monitor several devices, but most reports do not give information of all the devices
We have approximately 10 to 20 feature requests pending on the vendor side. Most reports give information about the top 100 devices, but not all of the devices. In our case, we are monitoring 200000 devices. So, we need details for all those devices, but that is limited to 100, which they have improved to an extent in some reports. I'm thinking of one feature request for ISPs because the dashboard does not provide a detailed list of ISPs, and it provides the wrong list. I feel some firewall issues are blocking that, and the team cannot send that detail. That may be the case. One feature request pending on the vendor side is the data format change. Once you see a detail in the report, it is mentioned in some other format, which is hard to analyze sometimes.
Ronny Sonck - PeerSpot reviewer
Assists in making decisions regarding device replacements for non-compliant or malfunctioning devices that cannot support Windows 11
Nexthink has evolved from its previous versions, shifting its focus towards security. While they do not position themselves solely as a security tool, they offer valuable information. It's beneficial that they continue providing discount information as they have before without introducing additional vulnerabilities. Nexthink's strength lies in providing a comprehensive overview, including application vulnerability assessments. Nexthink is actively developing artificial intelligence capabilities.
