Any new PC's get the software and report up to the cloud fast. It takes the guess work out of making sure everything is setup. I also liked that I could push a critical update and force (or not) a reboot. Makes things super easy. > > **Cons**: At first is was SLOW in their cloud portal, but with each passing month it gets faster and more useful. I also was limited to one login for an administrator at first but that was opened up recently to more than one. > > It has been really good, they are very attentive and want to help, the product is constantly improving and it just keeps getting better. ----- ### "Patch Management that honestly works" — 5.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *27 March 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It honestly works. I've used so many systems in the past (Syncro, DattoRMM, ConnectWise Automate, NinjaRMM/One, PDQ Deploy, Intune) and it beats all of them out of the water. I can depend on AND see it perform updates when they're supposed to. It's absolutely amazing how well their system works. \[To be fully transparent, I use this product for free (at the time of review, your first 200 devices are free) and may receive a small monetary gift for this review. However, my opinions are entirely my own and were not influenced by the pricing or the gift.\] > > **Cons**: Not enough built-in software packages and does not track update history per-device. Also, not able to easily report on vulnerabilities (e.g., being able to report on \# of vulnerabilities per software or software+version) > > Overall... Man this has changed my work life. Patch management was always had a "fog of war" to it. Never knew if it was working and always saw signs of it not working... Reporting was horrendous on most products. Action1 has been a complete 180 from the others and I feel like I can honestly depend on my patch management for the first time in ever. ----- ### "Great product." — 5.0/5 > **Heiko** | *19 September 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Action1 has a great service, and allows small business to comply with IT security regulations for free. > > **Cons**: There is nothing that is not perfect with the service. > > Perfect, and easy to use, and a very smart solution. ----- ### "All Patched Up" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *14 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really simplifed our patching needs as well as offering live vulnerability data in an easy to digest format, it has helped us to gain visibility across our organisations and provide our technicians with additional tools to support their roles. > > **Cons**: Not having dashboard reporting, this is on their backlog so may not be an issue but having some high level reports suitably formatted for key decision makers would provide some value to a lot of users of Action1, you can connect via PowerBi and configure this data so it's not a major negative but having something baked in would streamline everything. > > Action1 is easy to use, every option is clear and there's quite a lot of customisation options, setting automations is really clear - had very few issues, anything we throw at it "just works" monitoring the history, errors are clear and easy to work through. ----- ### "Incredible platform" — 5.0/5 > **Mack** | *30 June 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The cost, being under 200 units and the product being free and not just a gutted and limited version but a full blown service is truly amazing. > > **Cons**: I have not found one yet\! So far everything that the platform advertises is available and ready to use. No hidden trials or any nonsense like that. > > We are a very small telephone Co-op with a very small IT staff. Trying to keep everything patched to current levels and making sure programs do not have huge security issues was overwhelming. Action1 made it very simple and quick to get our systems up to date\! ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048001/action1-rmm?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2048001/action1-rmm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
