Pros

“On a technical level, the platform delivers on its primary promises: the alerting is dependable, and the agent deployment and patch management provide a reliable foundation for basic endpoint maintenance. When the "lights are on," the software does exactly what it needs to do to keep a fleet stable.”
CP

Christian P.

Sys Admin

“Also, the ability to push 3rd party applications has been a big help. And we have just now activated the Microsoft Intune integration through NCentral which will allow us to automatically install the most up to date NCentral Agent on Autopilot deployed devices while they are being set up. And I also love the easy access to the Microsoft Intune Dashboard from NCentral.”
DI

Dennis I.

IT Support Administrator

“Its flexibility and scalability make it ideal for managing both small and large customer environments, and their customer support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful when resolving issues or optimizing platform performance.”

Pros

“cpanel is the stock tool from our website host, so I've only ever known this tool. Despite not being an IT/web developer, I feel pretty confident I can get whatever I need to do done for my website, though I am always fearful I'm allowing some sort of door open for a web threat.”
DJ

Derek J.

Owner

“A very simple and easy to use software which has made it incredibly easy for us to run multiple websites for our company under one web server.”
ZS

Zoltan S.

Developer

“Since my first approach to cPanel to handle my client's website back in 2003, the intuitive UI and features allow any user to manage a server in a few minutes.”

Cons

“The way patch approval rule engine needs an overhaul and simplification, as they way it is currently designed is obtuse and requires hours with support to understand what it is actually doing on the backend and what will and won't be approved and why.”
AA

Andrew A.

Security Architect

“The formatting is strange and unprofessional, making it difficult to hand these documents directly to clients without extensive manual editing or external tools to make the data digestible.”
CP

Christian P.

Sys Admin

“Certain workflows—like policy management, reporting customization, or navigating between device views—can feel a bit clunky or outdated compared to more modern RMM platforms.”

Olti G.

Cons

“Some tools are not as well defined and "hand-hold"-ey as others.”
DJ

Derek J.

Owner

“Some features may be more difficult to understand for beginners.”
ZS

Zoltan S.

Developer

“The licensing for the duo is quite expensive for startups and small business.”
