I like that Action1 is user friendly and has a lot of community forums. I use it for endpoint management: I can remote in, send scripts, and send vulnerability patches and updates. It keeps an inventory of users and their activity, including whether they’re online and connected, and gives me visibility into their laptop environment. Remote access saves me time with remote users because I can jump in without visiting their laptops or setting aside a link for them to log in. It also gives the company better visibility into the environment that’s off site. The initial setup was super easy.

Action1 has really great remote management tools that are effective and work when I need them to, including immediately. Over the past 30 years, I’ve used at least 6 or 7 other vendors, including big names, and none of them have offered a system and toolset that’s as robust and responsive for handling the many workstation tasks that need to get done. With Action1, it works in a way that actually fits how I operate. Overall, Action1 works very well for me. The dashboard makes it very easy to find any workstation I need to work on and apply any updates, software rollouts, and security fixes that are required. Including the ability to create as many custom tools with Power Shell and other methods I need for infinite possibilities. Which helps maintenance tasks, troubleshooting, and security fixes very effectively. And like all aspects, things happen right away and I can monitor real-time progress of each action. It allows me to schedule pre-configured tasks or custom tasks that I create. The fact that Action1 allows full features for free to people and small companies is truly amazing. I take care of around 50 machines, and Action1 costs nothing. Which is why I think providing honest reviews like this that can help the company gain more customers is the least I can do. They offer great free conference calls for training that also allows you to ask questions about features and learn about what they are working on by way of new features that are coming. I have never experienced a service provider of this type that has been such a great experience all around.

I mostly use Action1 as a remote manager and to push software quickly and easily. It’s reliable and easy to install, and I can push it through the command line simply. I can also use it to deploy other remote software when I need something more robust. I like its fantastic free tier, and it’s pretty easy to use. The installation process is nice and smooth, even on a Mac, and the initial setup was easy.
