    Atera
    Atera is doing well in the monitoring part as it is informing the real time ping of running devices and if any device goes down, it is informing us on the real time. It is helping us to monitor the last reboot status, current logged in users, time zone, IP addresses and other things so that we can track our end devices status. In the patching part Atera is pathing our all devices with the notification stating user to restart device at their convenient time. It is also patching our third party applications. It is good in installing and uninstalling of the third party application but limited to availability in the Atera inventory. Atera is not good in some parts such as in the patching part of applications, sometime it fails to update all 3rd party applications that were not installed via Atera. It is not good if you have to transfer a file to multiple systems at the same time.

    Matrix42
    Matrix42 is best suited for the environment where we need to manage the both, mobile devices and endpoints like laptops and desktops. This solution have the best compatibility with every type of endpoints and the functionalities and features are incredible. The dashboard gives the overall visibility and details needed for a endpoint. We can see what applications are running as well as services which are running. It supports multi OS. It is not well suited for environment where only laptop and desktop needs to be managed as we can have other solution in less price. For just managing the workstations like laptops it may be not the best tool as the functionalities will be limited as compared to other vendors in this price.

    • It supports every operating system like windows, mac OS , Linux, android, Chromebook OS hence it got the multivendor support.
    • Every endpoint can be managed through a single dashboard hence it gives the best user experience.
    • The dashboard is very user friendly and every function is clearly visible. We do not need to go into sub menu for detailing.
    • The dashboard is totally customizable and gives the ability to control the endpoint in the best way.

    Cons
    Atera
    • Atera does not yet have a MDM system, but I have been told that it is in the works!
    • Sometimes getting around the admin section of the IT side of Atera can be tricky, but the webinars and chat support help.
    • Many of the demo and onboarding agents are based in Israel, so it can be a challenge to find available times during the day while living in the United States.

    • The deployment and implementation process took very long as we encountered some bugs in the OS and every time installation got failed due that. It took so long to understand that which delayed the process so we moved to n-2 version. Hence, in new OS bug should be removed for smooth configuration and installation.
    • The reporting part need to be improved as it is very basic and do not carry much information which is needed for auditing purpose. It should be made customizable and more type of reporting format should be introduced. So this the area of improvement.
    • Third Party integration is not possible. This feature is lacking. For proper visibility and control management it should have functionality of third party integration so that we can take control action for non complaint system.

    As of right now, we have found nothing that can offer as many features as Atera does along with the affordability. They are doing monthly releases each month and not just making small changes (shared scripting library, chocolatey support, Install packages, Splashtop SOS support, Scheduled tickets to name a few). The uptimes are great and accessibility to the dashboard has yet to be limited. We are a happy customer and bordering on fanboy status now

    Usability
    Atera
    Atera's remote monitoring feature is one of it's best features. The laptops and servers we used it on responded quickly to our administrative task requests and made our work light. We were able to increase the resources, manage patches, windows updates and quite a few other tasks remotely and that too 24×7.

    Atera support provides answers to my questions lightning fast. They have never left me feeling like I'm out there on my own. I can ask questions by email, or by chat, or by opening a ticket with them and they are always on it quickly. They also have a forum where other Atera users can help you if you need it, and you can also add feature requests via the forum.

    Because Atera is a much more effective and efficient solution to manage all our IT operations, it automates each of our business processes. It offers us the best support to respond to any problem that may arise. I think Atera is much more cost-effective and reliable; its value is justified with each function and satisfies all our business needs and requirements.

    Matrix42 Unified endpoint management supports different type of endpoints as well as multi OS is also supported which make it different from other vendors. The product got some good features which is needed for organization and during the demo it met our requirement and it was in our budget if we compare to other vendors. The solution delivers what it promises and hence proven to very useful for organization. Microsoft and Citrix TAC was also not good and supportive as we faced issue some issue during POC

    Return on Investment
    Atera
    • The intuitive user interface has enabled both users and support technicians to familiarize themselves quickly with the functionality, and the learning curve is less.
    • Some features need to be accessed through documentation; they're not available directly on the dashboard.
    • Sometimes, internet access plays a significant role, whereas low connectivity is a hindrance.

    • The product helped to achieve good profit as is it helps in managing the endpoints from remote which lowers the on site engineer cost.
    • The ROI for this product is 75-80 percent as it is a agent based solution and deploying agent in a large environment is painful hence to achieve the full ROI will take lot of time.
