Pros and cons

Pulseway has THE best mobile RMM available, combined with their other services and add-on it makes for on of the best or the best MSP tools out there.
The scripting tools help me accomplish tasks effortlessly for tasks that are not built in to the system, which is rare. It is also a very versatile/customizable tool for monitoring and notifications.
I love this product and the team supporting it. They are a wonderful group of people.
Difficult to uninstall sometimes. I am having trouble uninstalling from one particular PC.
The file transfer for remote control sessions is horrible. You can't sort or manage files, you can't type a directory path, you can't send directories.
I do miss grouping capabilities when working with antivirus menu.

Solid product with nice features!

Reviewed 20 days ago

Pulseway has been responsive to requests for information or assistance and both our sales rep and tech support has been available when needed.

Pros

Product has been reliable and there's new features on a regular basis.

Cons

Pulseway tries to get you to commit to a 3 year term. However, after speaking with the rep and clearly explaining that we would not agree to a 3 year term, things have been fine.

Pulseway the answer to our IT support needs!

Reviewed a month ago

Since [sensitive content hidden] has come on board with Pulseway, he has assisted in streamlining our support monitoring and processes.

Pros

Pulseway simplifies our support services, and [sensitive content hidden], our account manager, has been incredibly helpful.

Cons

It would be great if Pulseway could integrate with more third-party providers to streamline the support process.

Vendor response

Hey Glenn, Thanks for sharing your review! We are really glad to see you are enjoying the product as well as fostering a good relationship with your account manager

Great software for IT management and support

Reviewed a month ago

I've been using Pulseway for approx. 10 years. The software is very stable and I havent experience any downtime or faulty. it's has a lot of functions (patch update management, software deploy, third party patch, anti-virus deployment ) and easy to navigate. Pulseway support has been very good and useful.

Pros

[sensitive content hidden] has been really great in her customer service field and account manager. she's alway there to help with our enquiries, improve and flexible adjust to our business need. Pulseway RMM is a great product with everything IT management needed from assets management to remote sessions. They are also keep updating and adding more functions to it.

Cons

Integrated anti-virus Bitdefender need to be fully manageable in pulseway instead of logon to Bitdefender GravityZone itself.

Pulseway Pros and Cons

Reviewed a month ago

Very good, support and training is exceptional.

Pros

Functionality is the main reason, it just does what I need it to do. Relatively easy to configure and maintain.

Cons

A little costly, be good if some modules could be removed, ie many server related modules are not needed with the growing use of cloud apps.

Helped me to help my customers better.

Reviewed a month ago

The cost is very competitive. They are very helpful. They have a large menu of ala cart style product offerings.

Pros

The automation of many routine tasks. The many integrations all in a single pane of glass. They also have a very active continuous improvement release schedule.

Cons

Endpoint protection is not integrated. They should add Endpoint protection to their console, so you don't have to go to another site.

Effective RMM Solution

Reviewed a month ago

My overall experience has been very positive with Pulseway. New features and enhancements are constantly being introduced.

Pros

Pulseway provides a large feature set on a consolidated platform. The OS and third-party patching are extremely effective and easy to use.

Cons

The PSA is not as feature rich as some other offerings in the space. I would like more granularity in setting different required fields per ticket type.

Vendor response

Hey Frank, Thanks for sharing your review it is much appreciated! Glad you have been finding the Pulseway Patching module so effective and we definitley hear you in regards to PSA and have some exciting updates on the way!

Life with Pulseway

Reviewed a month ago

We have been using Pulseway for over a year now and the first year was rough. The employee we had set everything up had everything set up completely wrong and really just made us hate using Pulseway. Lucky that employees is no longer with us and with [sensitive content hidden] help we were able to make Pulseway function a lot better for our company. I would strongly recommend if Pulseway is not working for you then work with your account manager until it fits your company better.

Pros

Our account rep, [sensitive content hidden], is always there when we need him, and he goes the extra mile to make sure we are happy.

Cons

Not being able to uninstall the agents from the browser is a downer.

Pulseay is simply Superb!

Reviewed a month ago

Amazing!!! From the technology, to the technical support, all the way to their Account Management has been superb. Constant contact with my rep makes me feel like Pulseway us part od my extended team.

Pros

Pulseway's UI makes it super intuitive to manage. It comprehensive set of features, combined with their automation tools, enables each of my technicians to manage hundreds of devices instead dozens. Simply superb. It integration with other tools makes Pulseway my 1 stop shop for all my MSP requirements.

Cons

Feature parity for MacOs support is still on the works. They are getting better with each release, but, not quite there yet.

Great Product

Reviewed a month ago

I have been using Pulseway for a few years and like the information it keeps at my fingertips. When I have any issues, they are very responsive and helpful. They keep improving and adding features.

Pros

Great monitoring software. Keeps me very up to date on the condition and security of all my clients. It helps me avoid emergency issues by letting me know things before they get bad.

Cons

Scripting can be a little confusing. I would appreciate some premade scripts for common additions like monitoring RAID drives.

Pulseway Is The Best

Reviewed a year ago

I started using Pulseway when I worked at an MSP. When I became the Technical Director of the company I work for now, implementing Pulseway was one of the first actions that I took. It enables me to monitor my systems, monitor for issues, and support my users regardless of where they are or where I am.

Pros

I like that Pulseway is big enough to be feature rich and stable but not as big as some of the other players in the space that attract attention and have been breached (looking at you SolarWinds).

Cons

They're a bit sales pitch-y, even though I've made it quite clear that I'll contact them if/when I need them. Lately they have been sending alerts to my as if they are actionable issues that I need to address. Not a fan of that in my free time.

Pros

I love the easy-to-use interface of Pulseway RMM. Settings are easily accessible, and their support articles and team are great. The mobile application is one of the best features, allowing me to manage and monitor all my computers and servers with my fingertips. Managing our IT tasks has never been easier with Pulseway.

Cons

The lack Apple features to update and apply security features, but they are always adding and updating their support for Apple devices.

Product is solid, support can be hit-and-miss

Reviewed 3 years ago

Used the product for years on the Pro version, until I was forced into a non-optional upgrade to the Teams plan. The forced transition process could not have been more poorly planned on the part of Pulseway, and burned me bad enough that I migrated all of my endpoints to a different product. If you start out on the Teams plan perhaps you'll have a better result, just pray that they don't decide to forcibly change you to something new or different a few years down the line.

Pros

Custom scripts, cross-platform compatibility, custom alerts

Cons

Core Pulseway software is excellent and reliable. Some of the peripheral things are less than stellar. The AV integration feels just a bit janky (Kaspersky in particular), and difficult to deploy custom whitelists and exclusions that work.

Never looked back!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Easily manage way more PCs that I would normally have managed. Are managing a lot more problems so can focus only on the bigger picture issues that need addressing. Really makes you shine as an IT Support Provider and as such helps to grow your business.

Pros

Love that there is a mobile app for me to monitor everything from anywhere. It is simple to monitor and manage and takes difficult tasks and makes them easy. Every IT administrator should use it.

Cons

Some lag in functionality as it is a cloud product but not enough to put me off. Time difference between myself and support meaning I have to wait overnight to get some answers/action.

Great Overall Management Tool

Reviewed 5 years ago

I am using Pulseway for Systems management and compliance. It is used on end user desktops as well as servers. We use it for Antivirus central management. (Webroot). We use it for end user support using the Pulseway Remote Desktop. We also use it for systems monitoring and alerting. It is a very effective tool.

Pros

Having the mobile app combined with the web portal allows me to manage my devices practically anytime anywhere! The scripting tools help me accomplish tasks effortlessly for tasks that are not built in to the system, which is rare. It is also a very versatile/customizable tool for monitoring and notifications.

Cons

There hasn't been an update for the Win 10 App in a while. I would love an investment in this tool. But, I have moved to the web portal as a workaround. I would love to schedule deployment of Antivirus and scripting for when the next time a device checks in, not just when they are online.

Very Positive, Between Tech Supports Fast respond time, and Sales Rep checking in and letting me know personally of new features

Pros

Very Fast and Reliable Product. this product and made it 100 times easier to monitor and responded to failures within minutes rather than the end user calling hours after a problem has arrived. This product is has endless features and endless customization for automation.

Cons

1 update to fix Web viewing of server backups took a long time to fix ( this is now working and flawless), and does not support Legacy OS (Server 2008, Server 2003) but it is a good thing to move forward.

Pulseway RMM offers great value for small and growing MSPs

Reviewed 5 years ago

With a growing number of RMM vendors going the way of the venture capital playground, Pulseway is a refreshing return to sanity, especially for small and growing MSPs. Pulseway caters to what really matters most to me in all the important areas, and its support staff has demonstrated ample interest in helping me grow my business.

Pros

Pulseway provides me with quick, distraction-free insight and access to everything I need to stay proactive in a simple, uncomplicated Dashboard — without the clutter, noise and feature-bloat of most other RMM platforms. Real-time endpoint status indicators and alerts, along with the added bonus of remote background management, enable problem remediation without impacting users. Best of all, the price is right — with Pulseway, I pay for what I use and no longer have to be burdened with minimums and long-term contracts.

Cons

Pulseway Remote Desktop currently lacks support for Remote Printing and is not available for macOS at the moment. The lack of Patch validation and vetting, in the face of Microsoft's notorious history of buggy patch releases, leaves MSPs to their own wits and due diligence of pre-deployment patch testing. Nonetheless, Pulseway management has proven to be responsive to its customers' needs, and I remain hopeful that these shortcomings will be addressed in some future release of the RMM platform.

A Low Cost Option with Everything!

Reviewed 6 years ago

For the price, you have workarounds. It does havea learning curve, and will take you time to get used to the way Pulseway does things. Sometimes its seems wacky the way things work. They offer decent support and most questions get resolved. Good think is they are always fixing issues, and updating the features. Saving money with Pulseway was our draw to it. Very happy with the way it offers many of the features in solutions costing 5 times the price. No commitment, no contract pricing let us play with it and decide without worry. Enjoy the professional layout.

Pros

It does take time to learn. It has many features, many modules and lots to offer. The price is the draw to Pulseway, as it is much cheaper than the leader in the RMM and MSP industry. They offer full managed support for servers, which if your an MSP, you will see the value there. The cost per server is low enough to make it profitable and give you access to network and server engineers at a low cost. The sales and marketing feature has lots of potential. The dashboard feature for systems is one the best.

Cons

Workflow and process flow is confusing. Needs a better one dashboard solution for everything and not having to jump to differnet modules. The integrated help desk, has issues and needs better integration with the RMM. Overall it needs a better workflow process.

Best monitoring and management software out there Well priced Has all the features one would require Control everything from your phone with the Phone App New features added all the time Support is brilliant Able to rebrand the software with your own company information Group policies make managing settings across organisations/departments a breeze Ability to create custom scripts is fantastic Easy to for technicians to adopt and my clients love it

Cons

Remote desktop isn't the fastest and lacks built in file transfer and chat (chat is done via a separate app) - although support say they are working to improve this. Can't manage third party updates in patch management Would love more antivirus options, perhaps Malwarebytes or Bitdefender There isn't an unlimited endpoints license option (or a per technician license model) to help curb costs when you've got a considerable amount of endpoints to license
