N-able N-central Reviews & Product Details

The greatest advantages we've experienced with N-able's N-Central solution are its automated patch management, comprehensive monitoring and alerting features, integrated EDR and backup tools, remote control support, and, most importantly, the overall scalability of the system.

The reporting features are decent, but they have the potential to be much more comprehensive and robust. Enhancing these capabilities could significantly improve customer account management, especially when it comes to executive business reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is very easy to use, featuring colourful indicators—green for good and red for bad—that let you quickly see how your devices and network are performing. Their customer support system is also excellent; if you encounter any issues, you can log a Support Case, and the process is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The N-Central UI has a lot happening within it, so it can take some time to become familiar with all the available options and to learn how to navigate the platform effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Vulnerabilities view is amazing as it helps us as an MSP show risks to our customers as well as uncover new opportunities. It allows us to show the customer their issues in their environment and how to better secure it. This also allows us to show our value to our customers as we can provide much more insight into their environment and how we can be more proactive. We have also have moved to MSP SSO , this has reduced the number of password reset as well made it a much better user experience. The assets view has better data that is concentrated as it has the MAC address field etc, customers enjoy this report much more also the data is much better since it using SnowFlake. We have integrated N-Central REWST and I must say the integration between each other works perfect no issues and we are accomplishing so much through automation it frees up so much for our engineers. Product support is big deal for an MSP and for my experience with N-able support is the best no other product support can touch them as they are super knowledgeable and the responses are quick and on point. They are happy to jump on a call to further investigate if needed. We had upgraded our N-Central and we had a dedicated support engineer from N-able until the end of the upgrade.

Your user account needs to be MSP SSO to get the vulnerabilities and asset views which we would like to provide to customers however we want to create the customer and N-able account as they will see our organization case with support etc. We are awaiting for custom properties data to be moved to snowflake as I believe then we can use Snowflake as a single source of data which would reduce some work load on our. I would like a more in-depth Netpath as to possibly see if it is an issue on the ISP side or and environmental issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More integrated features, the inclusion of S1 and Adlumin now provides a more comprehensive solution. Better performance on the newer versions in my opinion. Entra SSO integration was clutch, users love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish I could run the baked in reports on a scheduled time of my choosing versus being forced to run it Daily at 3 AM if I want to schedule it. Patching reliably on endpoints (not servers) continues to be a pain point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
