Rajitha Abhisheka - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and allows you to do different activities on a single interface, and gives you visibility into multiple devices, but its reporting interface and report generation could be improved
What could be improved in N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management is the reporting, in particular, the reporting interface and the report generation method. Currently, I don't find it easy to run reports on the solution. Every time, if I want a report on a Windows vulnerability because a client requested that report, I find the process difficult. For example, out of one hundred PCs, I need to get a report on how many PCs have not been updated to a specific patch level. I need to give that report to the CTO or CEO of a particular client organization, and as running the report on N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management isn't easy, sometimes, that makes me doubt the validity of the generated report as well. It depends on each case because I do find some reports to be genuine and 100% correct, but most of the time, I have to ask for help from other engineers, and even collaborating with another engineer to run reports isn't that easy, so reporting needs improvement in N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. Another room for improvement in the solution is patch management. The user-friendliness of the Take Control feature in N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management also needs improvement, particularly when it's used on multiple computers or displays. Switching between displays isn't as user-friendly on the technician side, so that could be improved by letting you see all displays or monitors all at once, or on a single display, rather than needing to switch from one display to another. As Take Control is on a Windows agent, or running on a client-end device, that feature of N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management could be improved as well. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is a mobile application, though I'm not familiar if that's already available. As an IT MSP, sometimes I have on-call jobs, and I don't always want to look at the mailbox to see if there's any alert triggered from the devices. If N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management has a mobile application that would allow my team to get push notifications whenever there's downtime or issues, then that would make the solution more reliable. I'd like to get an alert that would pop up from my mobile device, so it would be pretty easy to keep an eye on alerts, and I won't have to check my inbox every time.

A multi-functional solution that seamlessly accommodates individual requirements
We use different features of this solution for different customers, so there are many use cases. TeamViewer is widely used so we implement it across numerous projects.  I like the possibility of using this software across different operating systems and clouds, such as AWS or Azure Cloud, while…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is user-friendly."
"Remote support has been very handy. It also lets us know if there are failing hard drives or Windows issues."
"The solution provides complete visibility for the client's infrastructure. Competitors support multiple platforms like Windows and Linux. We designed the agent for our clients, providing network discovery, so there's no need to go to each device individually. It is easy to deploy with a small address range."
"The most valuable aspect of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management is it provides an all-in solution for the different solutions."
"I'm really happy with the background remote access, which allows me to easily change system internals such as registry keys and silently execute commands using the command prompt in the background. This kind of remote access makes it easy for us to do our jobs without getting in the customer's way."
"The network device is a good feature. In a place where you need to monitor your firewall switches, you can add an RMM tool and monitor it on the same screen on the same setup for the same client. Network devices are very good."
"The reporting for this solution has been most valuable."
"The most helpful feature is script deployment because we can create whatever we want to deploy on our devices. This works in a cloud environment, where we previously relied on Active Directory. Since the start of the COVID outbreak, all the staff members began working from home, and most of the people there did not use the VPN to transfer the policies."
"The product is secure."
"What I like about TeamViewer Remote Management is the chat feature on the dashboard, which is very useful. The solution also has a meeting feature, but I don't use that. The remote feature and other features of TeamViewer Remote Management also work fine, so it's a good solution."
"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."
"I use the product for remote access. We are IT service providers. In case anybody has problems with their computer, we use the solution to check them."
 

Cons

"The patch management of the solution could improve."
"The SentinelOne integration is not great."
"The solutions could improve by adding more features."
"The product looks a bit old-fashioned."
"There is quite a bit of delay on the portal where we receive monitoring information from the endpoint agent on the remote device. Sometimes it gets stuck with no live response from the device, and you have to refresh the portal just to make sure that it's projecting the right information."
"The alerts and reporting could be done a little more clearly. They are quite cryptic, and quite often, we seem to get a lot of reports just for a computer rebooting or going offline for a couple of minutes, which doesn't seem like it's that big of a deal. Reporting could be refined and improved, and they can make it easy to decipher the reports."
"I would like to see notifications sent with SMS."
"It would be great if the pricing model could be improved and the solution was more affordable."
"There could be stable connectivity for the product’s current technology."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"The price point would probably be an area of improvement with the number of competitors out there offering similar features. TeamViewer usually comes in a little high as compared to other solutions."
"It could be more secure."
"There are some challenges with compatibility."
"There have been some delays in the past due to unstable internet connection."
"The price for the license could be improved, as well as the setup could be easier."
"VPN connection is an area with shortcomings that need improvement in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As I'm not part of the procurement team and because I'm 100% technical, I'm not that familiar with the costs associated with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, but I can say that in my location, particularly here in Sri Lanka, it's more expensive than other RMM solutions. I'm working for an Australian IT MSP, and over there, the solution isn't as expensive, but where I'm located, it is, so this is the reason why sometimes, clients don't go with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. Licensing cost is also the reason why my organization is looking into Kaseya RMM. My current organization merged with another organization that's using both Kaseya RMM and Connectwise."
"It's expensive and out of our budget."
"We use SolarWinds RMM on a pay-as-you-go monthly basis, so the cost can be highly variable because it depends on a few factors such as how many devices you need to support and what extra features you want to use. The more devices you have, the more you'll pay, and the same goes for extras."
"Out clients pay monthly for the license of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The product is fairly priced."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to that since I set it up. It has per-user licensing. If I remember it correctly, it worked out to about $10 a month per user. There were no additional costs. It was pretty straightforward and simple."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
"Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions."
"The solution relies on cloud-based infrastructure so the price is tailored to each individual model used"
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
