I have used Action1 for a couple of years now. When I first started using it, there was a lot to be desired. However, the development team has been working to bring new features to the program.
Pros
Action1 makes it easy. You install the agent on your client PCs and then you can start managing. Very easy to get automated patching and vulnerability management set up.
Cons
No iOS compatibility as of June 10th, 2024. Road map says that it is coming though.

A fantastic entry into the RMM environment

The business model for Action1 is fantastic, the 100 free endpoints forever was a fantastic hook to get us to give the product a go and from there we have been using it daily for years. When our company outgrew the 100 endpoint limit, it was a no brainer to sign up to for a paid plan and the pricing is extremely competitive. We trialed other products, most of which were very expensive, usually because they include PSA or other "addons" which we just do not need as a business.
Pros
The deployment agent was incredibly easy to install and within minutes all of our online endpoints had been onboarded onto the platform. The remote control tool, while basic is by far the most reliable tool i have used on an RMM platform and have never had issues connecting to and endpoint. The inbuilt reports are fantastic and the ability to create a custom report from basically any dataset that is captured by Action1 has been brilliant. For us the best part has been the ability to upload our custom enterprise application installers and provide the correct flags, switches and post install scripts to run automatically on endpoints, it took setting up a new work station from a multi-hour job, to a few clicks.
Cons
The user interface is a little but clunky in places and there are a few QOL features that could be improved upon, such as ability to customise the visible columns on the Endpoint overview, or easily view which endpoints are currently not allocated to a group. Though most of the issues i have are minor and some are in progress to be deployed in their roadmap.

Very positive. It's head and shoulders above other patch management solutions.
Very positive. It's head and shoulders above other patch management solutions.
Pros
Love the way it inventories software, ease of use and pretty detailed for patch management. They offer 100 free licenses to use to test out the product.
Cons
I really like the product. I don't have anything significant I can state that I like least. Occasionally (as a backup I test with patchmypc) or CCleaner which may find a miss here and there, but very few and far between.

I have nothing but good things to say about Action1. I went from trying it out to deploying throughout my organization in less than a week when it usually takes me months to evaluate a product. Outstanding platform!
Pros
I was looking for Remote Control as my main requirement and Action1 has this and WAY more. The patch management function and ability to script your own software deployments and removals are absolutely great.
Cons
No Linux support yet (but it is in development).
