    N-Able Problems that never get resolved

    Date: Feb 18 2022
    Summary

    I am moving to a different RMM Platform. I probably put in less than 5 tickets over the last year. 3 of them have not been resolved and all my emails to managers of been ignored.

    Positive

    Everyone you speak to is very curious. They say all the right thing and agree with your assessments of there product. Platform is easy to work with.

    Negative

    There are 2 issue I have been complaining about since I onboarded with Solarwinds back in 2019. Neither has been resolved! Now I am have another issue with AV and the most frustrating thing is a case was created and I cannot reply to it or see it in my cases. I have spoke to 4 different techs and asked them to put it in my queue, yet it has not been done resolved.
    One is AV detecting Webroot which has been uninstalled in over 50 computers. Each time they roll out an upgrade of Bitdefender I have to uninstall reinstall it. I have ask too many times where is it looking for Webroot so I can correct the problem. The other is getting error messages from Patching. Patches that are declined randomly come up as failed to install making my job harder having to dive in to see what the error is. Issue comes and goes.

    Avoid at all costs

    Date: Sep 20 2022
    Summary

    Absolutely disgusting service. From day one of paying the invoice, the account was locked for nearly 3 days. They bundled an "RMM + ticketing" solution together which sounded promising but never worked.

    The ticketing solution caused all inbound emails to go missing and damage client relationship. Asked for help to resolve and this ticket went over a month and was not resolved.

    Stated all the above and demanded that the account was closed. To which they had the nerve to chase me for payment for 2 months. Do not use this company.

    Positive

    There are no pros to this company at all. The only pro was that when all the negatives happened, I found a better RMM solution. Ninja is cheaper and a better solution.

    Negative

    Everything.

    Support is diabolical.
    The account not activated on time.
    Bills are always wrong.
    Features that used to be standard are now microtransactions.

    An amazing IT automation tool

    Date: Jun 05 2020
    Summary

    If your company has a lot of individual devices/inventory to keep track of, SolarWinds N-central can help you achieve that easily.

    Positive

    - The interface is quite intuitive and can be used to automate most of the management tasks that MSPs have.

    Negative

    - The patch management system needs to be fixed and standardized, it is very difficult to deal with updates and changes over and over again.
