A must have as a RMM solution for any MSP.

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Easy to use and learn. A must have for our clients where time is of the essence when an incident occurs where downtime is business threatening.

Pros:

The ability to automate as much as possible is key in our business. Using maintenance scheduling is one of the most important features and was key to choosing this product over others.

Cons:

I wish there were more integrations with other industry software.

Alternatives Considered: Datto RMM

Reasons for Choosing N-central: Poor implementation and support was heading downhill since being sold a few years ago.

Switched From: ConnectWise Automate

Reasons for Switching to N-central: This was more established and had more features for our business between the two.

Great product from less than stellar company

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Was great up until the last 18 months when they split off from solarwinds and started raising prices and hard selling products

Pros:

Loved that we were able to run our own appliance at our datacenter. Gave us full control over the systems uptime and access.

Cons:

When they split off from Solarwinds and vecame its own seperate company the sales reps became a pain to work with and pricing for annual maintenance and licenses for add on features kept going up making it a much lower ROI

FRAUD ALERT! Buyer beware trial is NOT honored even after 6 hours

1.0 2 years ago

Pros:

NOTHING. Junk Product AND Company. They want to bill me 2 months for canceling 6 hours into a '30-Day' trial.

Quality RMM solution

4.0 2 months ago

Pros:

Monitoring of fleet provides great telemetry for proactive action, automation suite of tools is handy, good range of integration to other tool sets like security tools

Cons:

It takes a while to setup and configure how you'd like it. It's not plug and play
