Action1

Riepilogo del prodotto

Action1 è una piattaforma RMM cloud-native focalizzata sul patch management, sul monitoraggio remoto e sulla sicurezza degli endpoint, in particolare in ambienti Windows. Progettato per la facilità d’uso e la rapidità di configurazione, si rivolge ai team IT che cercano una soluzione leggera e poco complessa.

Casi d’uso

  • Patch management:
    Action1 fa delle capacità di patch management la sua caratteristica principale, e consente una conformità continua alle patch per server e workstation, mentre il patching per i dispositivi mobili iOS e Android non è disponibile.
  • Rilevamento delle vulnerabilità:
    Lo strumento di gestione e monitoraggio consente di rilevare le vulnerabilità in tempo reale, riducendo i rischi di sicurezza per l’infrastruttura IT.
  • Facilità di distribuzione:
    I tecnici possono distribuire rapidamente applicazioni e software ai loro endpoint.

Punti deboli

  • Compatibilità con i sistemi operativi:
    L’agente Action1 è compatibile con Windows, macOS e Linux, ma non con i dispositivi mobili iOS o Android.
  • Ticketing e documentazione:
    Action1 non include funzionalità native di ticketing o documentazione. I team che necessitano di una piattaforma completa per tutti i flussi di lavoro IT avranno bisogno di strumenti aggiuntivi per colmare queste lacune.
  • Nessuna soluzione di backup nativa:
    Action1 non include capacità di backup in modo nativo. Le organizzazioni che hanno bisogno di uno strumento di backup dovranno affidarsi a integrazioni di terze parti, aggiungendo complessità e gestione aggiuntiva dei fornitori al loro ambiente IT.

Esper

Product Summary

Esper is a next-generation mobile device management (MDM) solution marketed as the “smarter approach” to managing iOS and Android tablets, kiosks, smartphones, and IoT edge devices, among other devices. Its platform offers a wide range of features that allow IT teams to monitor their fleet efficiently from a single pane of glass.

Use Cases

  • Centralized device management:
    Esper provides MDM capabilities from a single dashboard.
  • Remote diagnostics:
    Esper helps you monitor all your devices for possible performance issues and resolve them before they become larger technical issues.
  • Compliance enforcement:
    Users can easily set policies, and Esper will automatically and accurately enforce them.

Shortcomings

  • Remote access:
    Esper could improve its remote control and viewing tool so users can manage multiple devices in real-time without slowing down.
  • Platform compatibility:
    According to some G2 users, Esper is much better suited for Android devices, leaving its support for iOS devices much to be desired.
  • Reporting capabilities:
    Some G2 users have stated that they occasionally have difficulty using Esper’s reporting function.
