We've found the remote support tools indispensable and being able to run PowerShell scripts against endpoints remotely has greatly improved our response to issues. No more running around or remoting around to get simple fixes applied, just send out a script automation. Update approval has streamlined the deployment of windows and software updates across the network giving visibility into where those updates are not applying correctly. > > **Cons**: It feels like with the wealth of information it gives that some more critical vulnerabilities might get missed amongst the back log. For example one laptop has come out of a cupboard and tripped 500+ vulnerabilities which then hides the ones that work the other way and effect 500+ computers. > > Very positive. Our account manager has worked with us and been very helpful making sure we find the bits of the product we need. ----- ### "Amazing free patch management and software/script deployment\! Don't turn this one down." — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *20 August 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a reliable free tool (up to 200 devices) for patch management, software deployment and script deployment. It has tools to remotely access devices too. Easy to use, clear interface and doesn't cost a penny for sub 200 users. Setup is really easy too. > > **Cons**: Nothing, this is a great product throughout. If I was being fussy I'd say some people might think the interface is a little bland. > > I've been using Action 1 for over a year and I can't speak highly enough of this tool. I've previously used WSUS, GoTo Resolve and SuperOps and Action 1 is simpler, more reliable and provides a progress status (unlike lots of the others where you deploy an update and only know how it's gone when you've left it for two days to be sure, then find it hasn't deployed etc.). The ability to deploy software and create custom software deployments is great. There is a feature to upload the msi, so it will deploy over the internet and doesn't rely on a network or connected cloud storage such as onedrive etc. We have an in-house msi package and we can release a new version which is immediately identified as an update alongside the standard windows updates and application updates. I prefer our other remoting in tools, but action 1 having the ability to remote in has been a life-saver on more than one occasion when other methods have failed. It also links in to Active Directory so will auto deploy agents making it really slick. Love this tool, can't fault it. ----- ### "Nothing comes close to Action1" — 5.0/5 > **Stephen** | *9 September 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Does exactly what it promises. Action1 makes patch management and software deployment simple and effortless. You cant beat 'free' for under 200 devices. Super simple to get going and configure. > > **Cons**: Its free. Sounds silly, but there are times you need support which isnt included in the free licence. I would be willing to pay money to have support when needed. > > I would (and have) recommend this to anyone. Nothing compares. Third party vulnerability scans have proved this is working 100% ----- ### "I recommend this software, if you try it, you would too\!" — 5.0/5 > **Antony** | *20 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to free endpoints to manage my server infrastructure patch management with ease and much preferred the dashboard and configuration compared to other platforms. The setup was easy and the discord channel for support offered fast community help when I was first starting out and experimenting to see what else the platform could offer. I went on to purchase more endpoints to cover our entire fleet after being happy with the product and after comparing costs this product was by far better value for money than the others on the market with all features available. > > **Cons**: It didn't initially have delegated access to administrative sections and this was the biggest flaw in my eyes which has now been fixed. > > Really positive, the sales, the aftercare, the technical support. Everything has been easy, the software just seems to work immediately and have yet to find a flaw with either the service or product that doesn't get rectified. I would recommend this solution to give a much better visibility of your patch and vulnerability management. ----- ### "Action1 - Everyday Lifesaver" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *9 September 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy the agent is to deploy and how reliable it is to deploy updates and remote into clients. The 200 free agents give great value for money. > > **Cons**: I feel like the reports could be better laid out but that is a really small con, they are still easily accessible. > > I use Action1 every single day and would be lost without it, there are features such as software deployment which I haven't yet used but I know it will be a life saver in the future. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/180609/action1-rmm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/180609/action1-rmm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
