Pros

“I liked the ability to monitor systems and respond to issues remotely without always needing to be at a workstation.”

Swetha C.

Program Manager

“The mobile access was especially convenient for checking alerts and system status.”

Swetha C.

Program Manager

“Pulseway gave me a lot of control remotely, and being able to act on servers directly from the app was extremely helpful.”

Mathieu R.

Programmeur Jouabilité

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.”

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.”

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.”

Sean O.

Senior Cyber Security Engineer

Cons

“I’m not as intuitive with setting up custom automation scripts, I often have to dedicate several attempts to get it right.”

Byron L.

Software Developer

“Another issue, we have a Bitdefender license for all our systems, currently have an issue where Pulseway does not correctly reflect that Bitdefender has been loaded on a system, but BitDefender does show that the system is running Bitdefender(Status:”

Luthando N.

Senior IT Technician

“Some key touches can be added a bit quicker I think especially based on request for changes, some are flagged as urgent and confirmed by multiple users, however the change never seems to be implemented, either due to lack of functionality or the urgency is undervalued.”

Jean-Louis W.

Senior Technician

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.”

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.”

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.”
