Everything you need, built in

Every core capability works together out of the box from a single console, reducing complexity and giving your team full control. The result: fewer moving parts, a cleaner IT environment, and a more predictable total cost of ownership.

Atera
Product Summary
Atera is a cloud-based IT management platform that combines native RMM, helpdesk and ticketing, patch management, and network discovery. The platform supports Windows, macOS, and Linux device management for IT departments and managed service providers.
Use Cases
- RMM: Atera provides remote monitoring and management for endpoint devices, with alert-based monitoring and scripted automation for routine IT tasks.
- Helpdesk & Ticketing: Atera includes a built-in ticketing system for managing end-user support requests, with SLA tracking and technician assignment.
- Patch Management: Atera supports patching for Windows and macOS devices. Linux patching is available through Atera’s Package Manager.
- Network discovery: Scan and secure your networks to gain insight into your IT environment.
Shortcomings
- Inconsistent patch management: Users on G2 and TrustRadius report that Atera’s patch management can be unreliable, particularly for third-party applications. Scheduling and managing patches across OS platforms has also been cited as unintuitive.
- Limited reporting and customization: Users on G2 and Capterra report that Atera’s built-in reporting is basic and difficult to customize. Generating reports for specific needs, such as executive summaries or compliance documentation, requires workarounds, including exporting data to external tools. Multiple reviewers have noted that advanced analytics and custom report building are not available on lower-tier plans.
- No native backup solution: Atera does not include a built-in backup capability. Organizations requiring backup must rely on third-party integrations, adding complexity and additional vendor management to their IT environment.
- No native remote access: Atera does not offer a native remote access tool. Remote connectivity is provided through third-party integrations with Splashtop and AnyDesk.
