Alec M
It Manager
5.0

Alec: My name is Alec. I'm IT manager for a real estate coaching company that has 150 employees, and I rate Atera a five out of five. We were currently using a managed service provider and we're bringing IT in-house, so we were looking for a platform that met the needs of our help desk and our employees. We chose Atera because it has multiple features built in without needing additional components, like the service desk and RMM side are all in one package. You can do scripting, can do monitoring, and they have a new feature that they're currently working on of integrating AI into both ticket handling as well as script creation. That ultimately led us to decide on Atera. Atera was pretty simple to set up. We were able to work with their onboarding department and get it all configured exactly how we wanted, deploy the agents through several different means, whether it be Microsoft Intune or using just an email for those clients that we don't have set up in Intune. Just make sure that you compare Atera with the other platforms that are available to see if it meets your exact needs. It is a little more training heavy, not as simple as some of the others out there, but it's more feature rich, and at least for us, was perfect for our needs. I.
