Biggest issue is not having automatic session recording. We recently had an issue where we needed to see what was done in a session by a former employee. Automatic session recording would have been huge in that instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

"Great product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about N-able Take Control?

We are using N-Central and while it allow us to remote connect to many devices, the agent need to be deployed first and many customer doesn`t have the administrative rights on their computer. This is where Take Control is really usefull. The ability to send a code the the customer and remote connect to their computer is really simple and all the built-in tools are handy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about N-able Take Control?

We are a french enterprise based in Montreal. We have found that the accent character as well as the french language is not really supported. We would also like to get an Automation Manager integration so we could easily deploy our current script library to the devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about N-able Take Control?
