Remote monitoring has streamlined endpoint management and consistently reduced ticket resolution time
The best features Atera offers include the per-technician pricing, which is honestly one of the biggest things. Unlimited endpoints for a flat monthly fee per tech is a model that makes sense for us, since we are not paying more every time we add a new endpoint. The AI Copilot feature has been a nice addition that helps our techs summarize tickets and suggest fixes faster, which has cut our resolution times noticeably. The AI Copilot feature has specifically helped my team because the automation handles a lot of the routine work, such as patch deployments, maintenance tasks, and monitoring alerts. Atera has positively impacted my organization by transforming how our team operates day-to-day, and the pricing model is hard to beat. The outcomes or metrics showing how Atera has made a positive impact include the 30% reduction in ticket resolution time I mentioned earlier.

Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Atera has saved us a lot of time."
"Atera has helped me to provide more accurate solutions based on a given problem. For example, we base our solutions on event scenarios, like the alerts. We identify that there's a series of problems occurring in a particular area from the information provided by the alerts."
"Just because it is low cost doesn't mean it is low quality."
"One thing that I'm most impressed by with Atera is how much they listen to their community to focus on more integrations."
"There are a lot fewer hardware replacements. Once people migrated from old style hard disks over to SSDs, you have things like hard disks filling up faster. So, I run a script to clear out all the waste, e.g., all the temporary files and downloads. A lot of our business runs through a custom web application that we built. This involves people downloading a lot of PDFs and Excel files, and not just having them sitting in folders. With Atera, I can just go through and clean the temporary files out."
"Atera has helped me to provide more accurate solutions based on a given problem."
"Atera has saved our organization money; we look at Atera as an extra employee that we only pay about $300 a month, which is incredible savings over having to hire somebody to do all the tasks that Atera performs for us."
"All corporations that have an IT department should look into and utilize this solution."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"If you have a small footprint in the IT department, it's a very efficient tool to give a very well-rounded perspective of remote access and security control on devices, and in an environment where it's geographically disbursed."
"If you need unattended access, then LogMeIn; I haven't found anything better."
 

Cons

"There is definitely room for improvement with its automation capabilities."
"The one thing that could do with improvement is the reporting."
"They are working on an update, and I would like to see more stuff outside of just computers and servers. Increasingly, we need to be able to monitor and manage network devices. Atera is improving on that already, which is one place that it is currently lacking."
"Reporting is probably the main frustration."
"The solution is scalable. However, in the past, we did have some issues."
"It should improve its processes."
"While scalability meets growing needs, there haven't been many additions in the last two years."
"Atera could be improved by adding more granular control over technician roles. We need more specific controls on what technicians can access, like limiting their ability to view certain sections or access devices and share files. This feature request has already been made. The IP asset management capabilities need improvement to better manage assets beyond just devices."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"Cost. It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"Do not use the technical support."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable for what we require."
"Atera's pricing stays fixed and predictable, enabling us to add more customers and unlimited monitored devices. We still have a number of clients who fit a break/fix IT model. This is something where clients are complaining more about having to pay extra month-by-month for technology services. With Atera's model, we don't have to be going out and asking for more from clients each month. Right now, with where we are at in terms of scale, this is very important to us."
"Atera happened to have the best pricing model."
"It comes with unlimited devices, so the fixed price cost is taken out of my budget. So, I'm all good."
"Pricing is my favorite part of it. It was per user, not per client."
"One of the biggest issues I face is the need to pay per technician. I've dealt with other platforms that you need to have 250-500 devices. Even though the cost declines as the number of devices a person has increases, they still require you to pay for 250 or 500, respectively. With Atera, the number doesn't matter as you always pay the same amount. I approximate that Atera saves me $100 per week."
"The solution cost approximately $200 Canadian per month."
"With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
