N-able N-central Reviews & Product Details

It can do so much and automate so many things. Pretty easy to use once you get familiar with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't force through a patch which has been a real pain since Windows seems to not be asking for upgrades and therefore we can't upgrade PCs. Reporting tends to not get specific enough. I wish it were more of a one screen thing to set up monitoring instead on one to make the monitor, one for rules to apply the monitor and one for notifications. it takes a loit of jumping around to make one simple thing.

The categorization of the different types of machines on the left side, along with being able so schedule reboots/maintenance commands that will run autonomously outside of working business hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the screens of the machines I am in will flicker and become unable to work in, so I need to close out of the session and reconnect but it's a minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scalability and automation it offers are the best in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The console can become sluggish when managing large environments, and the agent consumes high system resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use as well the simplicity of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My dislikes are that the agent does not always install. As well as the force patching doesn't work on certain OS's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

N-Able gives us the visibility we need to ensure client devices are healthy, patched, and accounted for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting for MSPs (asset inventory, for example) could be improved. We often have to ingest and massage reports to be client friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
