Atera Erfahrungen

Lizenz Modell ist im Vergleich sehr günstig
Einfache dinge lassen sich damit einfach lösen.

Alles wirkt nicht nur so Halbfertig sondern ist es auch.
Die Umsetzung von Futures ist undurchdacht und nicht praxisorientiert.
Atera möchte an allen integrierten Thirt-Party-Diensten (Anti-Virus, Backup, ect) mitverdienen.
Das Augenmerk liegt nicht auf Produktverbesserung sondern fast ausschließlich darauf Zusatzdienste zu entwickeln die sich abrechnen lassen.

For a low entry cost you are getting a ton of features and great support. Atera is very responsive and is constantly release new features suggested by the community.
Atera is easy to learn and use. New technicians are up and running in no time.

Reports and 3rd party integration is improving but still has more to go.

The price point for this product is excellent, if it worked properly.

Constant issues in the past few months. Cannot use remote frequently, it fails consistently since January 2019. Customer support is responsive in a canned response kind of way.

It meets a complete requirement for remote assistance management, and the AI ​​add-ons are included in the price. It is worth having this type of tool since it further automates the process of providing support remotely.

It has multiple channels where clients and workers can communicate efficiently. The remote desktop has not been a problem with this feature since it allows questions to be resolved instantly without having to go through long response times to obtain a resolution to any concern during remote assistance.

The implementation has not been complicated at all. I have not felt a learning curve, but rather the opposite. In addition, I have been able to implement other platforms that help me automate the process of providing remote assistance, thus allowing this tool to become more personalized and adapt to my company

For me, it is important that the new tools that are implemented within my work environment can adapt to my work needs, no matter how minimal they may be, so the main negative point is that the interface does not yet have a way to have a dark mode natively. It is annoying to have to work with this platform at certain times when the view is exhausted, so I have to resort to external tools such as the Dark Reader extension in my browser, which does not work well at all because it presents interface failures in certain areas.

Another problem that causes us conflict is that we cannot incorporate two technicians within the same support ticket. It is essential to be able to have a function that allows this since there are usually technicians who require knowledge of problems that another technician may have, so when it comes to providing remote support it is easier to provide help and not have to give long waiting times when trying to provide a solution.

I love the product and most of its features. The support has been good when I have used it, and the community is rock solid. It is easy to use and easy on the eyes, meaning the UI is well thought out.

The Feature Board is filled with Years of requests, some of which are essential features of an RMM or PSA. In my opinion, the Knowledge Base is useless in its current state, especially for saving passwords. No 2FA sharing means it is not helpful at all in IT. The recent Price Hikes and bait and switch on the AI features are a real slap in the face, in my opinion. Atera lacks a good handle on being open with what is happening with development and changes. I might freak out if I hear "it's on the roadmap" one more time. When? Two months from now or three years from now, as other requests have waited?

I love the integration of AI within the ticketing and scripting sides. It make everything easier to do and helps you out whenever you forget that one command to make progress. It makes implementation of maintenence scripts easy and makes you want to get in and start taking care of issues! Customer support is easily accessible as well and can help you out with whatever is needed

There are a lot of menus to navigate. This can make it slower to get around until you are fully familair with the platform. Give it time though, it is well worth it!

The ease of use, the AI implementation for enduser support and script creation. The remote access and monitoring

No cons at this moment! Atera has been working just as expected and we continue to explore the functionality.

The best feature for us using Ater is the ease of use and the quick response chat feature, those two items have been the best part of using this solution by far compared to other competitors.

I would like Atera to have a free remote access software for staff and users it would eliminate another product and would allow us to only use Atera for everything when it comes to troubleshooting.

The software is very easy to use, and can replace multiple tools with one location. Very simple to setup, and can automate 90% of tasks.

If we had a tier for billing/managing that was included in a Tech license that would be great. If I could get my CFO access we would most likely switch to Atera for all our time tracking and billing as well, but justifying the cost for a non-tech person to see anything is a hard pill to swallow.

The amount of features for the price is hard to compete with.

The user interface isn't as simple and elegant as other more expensive alternatives. Searching for devices based on serial number still hasn't been implemented.

A pleasant gui and easy navigation are standout features. The strong search engine is very helpful.

Some of the helpdesk is a little confusing and we're still getting the hang of it. Until it's tuned, it can be "noisy" with alerts.

Great option for small MSP looking for a simple, affordable solution

Simplicity. It felt a bit barebones at first coming from Labtech, but it refocused us on the important things and not get scatter brained. We took on the attitude of "if Altaro doesn't have it, you don't need it". It's been two years and we honestly haven't looked back.

It's also great having a flat fee per tech instead of per agent fee. It's a relief when deploying agents since It doesn't feel like I'm incurring additional overhead each time I add an agent.

I also appreciate their agile feature releases. It gives me the feeling that the team is not sitting still and always earning my dollar.

The reporting is a bit weak. I'm used to being able to hook into the database and generate custom reports coming from Connectwise. I used to have a Excel pivot table pulling data directly from Connectwise and it was data nerd heaven.

While API is available, it doesn't supply the same volume of information that the built-in reports offer. I submitted a feature request to simply expose the reports via API (this is how Connectwise does it) so hopefully that will happen in the future.

Also, Splashtop remote control that comes with Atera is just too slow to connect. It's actually pretty good once the connection is established, but there's a ~30 sec delay from the time you click on the button. That might not sound like much, it can feel like eternity when there is a customer on the phone. Plus it takes too long to find out when the connection doesn't work for some reason. We bit the bullet and paid for Screenconnect.

Our MSSP at the time had encouraged us to try to buy ConnectWise from them the bill was going to be 160k, this is because we have many stable systems and our users change very little across the network so we had 3 techs and 500 computers. Atera charges by the tech and gives you unlimited devices meaning our 160k bill which we Absolutely needed to have was converted to about 8k by changing from Connect-Wise to Atera.

It forced me to learn to script because I now have the ability to deploy a script remotely on all devices, This is because Atera can reach any device connected to the internet, even when our users are not on our local network. I can still send command prompts or PowerShell commands individually but to really be able to maximize the function I had to learn to put a script into Atera with an MSI upload (since our devices are not always in the local network i am no longer forced to wait till they connect to push out a GP update) to run an install across all 600 of our devices at once. I guess you could say it was a blessing in disguise though.

I like the alerting and having the alerts trigger scripts. That gets to be really useful for mundane things like disks getting full and memory getting full. The community shared scripts are great to copy and improve on. There's a real wide selection there and it's very useful stuff.

Granting customers remote access to their workstations is kind of "buried", I wish that had its own page for the controls and they were all close to each other.

It's easy to use, the script library is growing and very useful.

Splashtop remote access - It works well, but I would really like to be able to view multiple remote monitors at the same time!

The licensing model for Atera sets it apart from most other similar RMM tools. Each licensed technician can manage unlimited client systems. This alleviates the overhead of tracking your head count and makes Atera possibly the most cost effective RMM product on the market today. Tech Support from Atera is also outstanding providing timely live chat interaction. They have provided more than sufficient answers to what I perceived as complicated propositions. The Atera Support Technicians are polite and appear to have a fairly decent mastery of the product.

Patch management is a little clunky and the Atera agent does not always restart on its own when the PC is restarted. There is a fix for this, but that fix should not be necessary for this type of product. Its a fairly manageable inconvenience. Client system naming can get off track, but is also not hard to fix.

What makes Atera stand out from the rest is collation of some of the most important IT functions under a single, intuitive interface that is easy to implement. The impressive RMM/PSA integration is giving me a great visualization and control of the IT environment. Patch automation, proactive endpoint monitoring, and robust remote access streamlined operation and reaction times.

The reporting and analytics module needs a bit of more flexibility and customization. A nice add-on would be to provide the ability to schedule reports for executive analysis of certain security metrics.
