It keeps applications up to date It easily picks up any vulnerabilities to remedy. > > **Cons**: In the beginning, the timeout of Action 1 was very limited, but now it has improved dramatically and I am very impressed. > > I would recommend it to any business small, medium or large. Action1 does the monitoring for you so you can focus on completing other important tasks. ----- ### "Would recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *12 September 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and setup. Powerful automations. It's been an absolute pleasure to use. Free for under 200 devices > > **Cons**: Slow remote desktop. Lack of Linux support (which will change soon as it's on the roadmap for the next update). > > It's been a great help. Support is helpful, albeit slow on free tier. Already recommended it to others. ----- ### "AAA+++ for Action 1\! ☄️ 🤩" — 5.0/5 > **JP** | *14 October 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fantastic software platform \& product - So easy to use\!

Well designed and a lot of functionality has been built in.

We recommend Action1 to all our SME clients. The remote access particularly is a great time saver. ----- ### "Vulnerability Management is no longer an Issue" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *10 June 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free for 100 endpoints. Ease of setup and deployment. Fast execution and auditability for reporting. > > **Cons**: Nothing I didn't like. It works and is fast. > > I wish I'd discovered Action1 sooner. WSUS is dead and unreliable, and using a Remote Desktop Manager to do updates manually is inefficient. For small business owners, this is simply a no-brainer. For large companies, even easier considering you can deploy rapidly using Group Policy. If everyone started using the Free version, they'd realise how good the product is, not change, but scale up. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/180609/action1-rmm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/180609/action1-rmm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
