The price tag for N-central is super cheap... so cheap that when I first signed up, I was sure they were quoting me monthly pricing. But not cheap like Prado knockoffs - this is a quality suite of tools for managing, monitoring, and maintaining all computing devices with minimal work on the tech side. It's a simple install and you're done. Logging into the portal for management gives you a wealth of information, and using the included TakeControl functionality makes end user troubleshooting easier than a phone call. It works across Mac and Windows, and has agents (that I haven't tested) for Ubuntu and CentOS. It's so cost-effective and easy to use/deploy that I'm never going to NOT use it in every company I work in from now on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
N-Central's only weakness (which isn't their fault by any means) is that you need the device to have a consistent internet connection in order for things to work. This means that, if the user switches on or off of a VPN, Take Control can lag for a minute or two. Again, not N-Central's fault, but something to consider. On the flip side, though, commands can be scheduled, so you can mitigate some of the above with proper foresight.
There have been small timeframes where I had to reinstall an agent or where a script didn't run as I wanted it to, but that's super-rare compared to how often it works better than I expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
