Action1

Product Summary

Action1 is a cloud-based management system for internal IT departments and managed service providers. The platform features a typical monitoring and management tool, but the solution mostly highlights its patch management capabilities.

Use Cases

Patch management:
Action1 poised its patch management capabilities as its cornerstone feature, allowing continuous patch compliance for servers and workstations.
Vulnerability discovery:
The management and monitoring tool provides real-time vulnerability discovery, reducing ransomware risks for the IT infrastructure.
Easy deployment:
Technicians can quickly deploy applications and software to their endpoints.

Shortcomings

Software compatibility:
The Action1 agent is strictly Windows. The core platform requires a Windows machine (Windows 7 or later) to function.
Navigation:
More advanced features are buried within the platform, making it hard for technicians to locate them.
Reporting:
Action1’s reporting section could be improved since there’s currently no way to pull a report per device of all the software installed.

Hexnode

Product Summary

Hexnode is a cloud-based, unified management solution that allows IT teams to manage endpoints from a centralized console. The platform employs monitoring and management features to secure, track, and manage corporate-owned and personal devices.

Use Cases

OS support:
Hexnode supports major desktop operating systems such as Windows and macOS.
Remote management:
The platform allows IT admins to execute various remote actions on their endpoints.
Device enrollment:
Hexnode offers different enrollment methods ranging from no-touch to minimal touch for on-boarding devices.

Shortcomings

Linux support:
Hexnode doesn’t have a direct way to manage on-premise Linux computers, which is a drawback for those who use the operating system.
Basic features:
Some basic features that are available on most UEMs in their basic tiers are only available on Hexnode’s highest plans.
Scalability:
Hexnode’s capability mainly caters to small to medium-sized organizations and might need help handling large-scale enterprises.
