Pros

“Reporting could also be more flexible, with better customization and more detailed failure information. and the patching process can consume a significant amount of disk space on the C: drive, especially when multiple missing patches are downloaded and stored.”

Vignesh S.

Azure Infrastructure Engineer

“Scheduling and automating patch deployments saved us a ton of time compared to doing things manually, and the third-party application patching support was a big plus — not just OS updates but things like Adobe, Java, and browser patches all from one console.”

Romil T.

Information Security Analyst

“The product does a very good job of simplifying patch operations by allowing administrators to manage the Windows updates, Linux patching, macOS updates and third-party applications from a single console.”

Mirza B.

Asst IT Manager

Pros

“It helps save time by making it easier to manage multiple devices from one place, especially for updates, scripts, and troubleshooting.”

Basel E.

IT Manager

“This is great for small and medium-sized companies that need software to control hardware/software inventory, in addition to allowing you to connect to an Active Directory server to search for machine information and even perform deployment on machines.”

Wanderlei H.

IT Analyst

“Products of their SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications, Action1 offers multi‑factor authentication, AES‑256 encryption, and even HackerOne‑backed penetration testing.”

Shane G.

Director, Information and Marketing Technologies

Cons

“There is insufficient in-product guidance or documentation on the configurable parameters for the USEMS agent, such as scan schedule, CPU throttling, private key management, remote office connectivity, and other tunable variables.”

Ye M.

DevOps

“However, the Security and Vulnerability Management area may need further improvement, as the failed update rate remains high even when users proactively check for updates through the Self Service Portal.”

Tu T.

Assistant Manager

“Rolling back failed patches isn't as straightforward as it should be, and the learning curve for setting up custom deployment policies took more time than expected.”

Romil T.

Information Security Analyst

Cons

“FTP-The only thing I missed from the transfer from Itarian was the ability to access folders from each machine to move user files to replacement PCs that I was working on.”

Lonie P.

IT Manager

“The policy management for Windows, and the MacOS support are missing some features which I am used to with more expensive endpoint management suites.”

Noel H.

IT Consultant

“For example one laptop has come out of a cupboard and tripped 500+ vulnerabilities which then hides the ones that work the other way and effect 500+ computers.”
