The ability to control devices as the console as opposed to as a user \& ability to run commands as system or user based on automation policies. > > **Cons**: The lack of direct SSH access to the box means we don't have the ability to install Defender for Endpoint etc. > > Generally very good support and customer experience. We are very happy with N-Central, just want more under the hood access. ----- ### "Has been going downhill in recent years, but still an OK product if expensive" — 2.0/5 > **Matthew** | *30 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a wide range of tools available, and you can mix pro and essential licenses for a customer. > > **Cons**: It hasn't really progressed much in the last 10 years. Take control is frequently out with issues > > It used to be good, but in the past 5 years or so we have had so many account manager changes I never know who they are, and they aren't around long enough to build up a trusted relationship with. ----- ### "N-central Reivew" — 4.0/5 > **Jun** | *29 April 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Be able to monitor devices and printers status. Running scripts, pushing apps, and some automation. > > **Cons**: Sometimes can be a bit slow and need to reconnect when remoting into machine which is time consuming. > > Pretty good so far. More like a all in one service including msp manager and passportal. ----- ### "Best Partner, Product is improving quickly." — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *6 June 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's ability to handle 3rd party patches is significant for being a default feature set. They also have built a great first pane of glass experience. > > **Cons**: N-Central does not have the ability to automate against the system itself. This has required my team to work around some of the constraints instead of building exactly what they need. > > N-Able's partnership is not to be matched. They're a great partner. When they promise a feature they deliver it and they're hard at work building the most scalable traditional RMM product that will exist in the market. ----- ### "A Solid RMM, with some oversights which hurt what could be a perfect product." — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *4 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customization it affords with regard to things like patching and alerting users to needed reboots, alongside the Automations provided from the community are highlights. The Automation Builder is great and easy to use, and the fact that it is based on and allows the integration of custom PowerShell scripts makes it very powerful. > > **Cons**: The UI needs work and was recently made worse. Our company uses it as a cloud-only fully-probeless deployment, and even things like the home screen refuse to land us where we should be going. The new Asset view is clunky and missing lots of features, and the old Device View doesn't allow for custom or resizable columns. These are the gateways to accessing the tools and viewing, filtering, sorting, and launching tasks needs to be easy, fast, robust, and have icons for easy identification and readability. Some of these things should be obvious oversights and it feels like we are going backward with things like the recent removal of all icons. Whoever came up with that idea needs to be fired. The way patch approval rule engine needs an overhaul and simplification, as they way it is currently designed is obtuse and requires hours with support to understand what it is actually doing on the backend and what will and won't be approved and why. This is in dire need of attention. I am happy to expand on this topic on a phone call if it will improve the product, because I believe in it. PLEASE contact me. > > Love/hate. The power it affords is amazing, and in some places, the technical places, it affords a lot of possibility and is easy to use. On the other hand, fighting with the UI is tiresome, and important things like the rule engine controlling which patches are and aren't approved is obtuse and overrides and rule application order don't make logical sense. I am happy to expand on this topic on a phone call if it will improve the product, because I believe in it.
