BE

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.”
WH

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.”

Grant B.

IT Manager

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.”
LP

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.”
NH

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.”
