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. ----- ### "Awesome tool for any organisation" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *4 May 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Patching control over other software. 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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great RMM and remote tool. MSP Manager great for our internal IT ticketing." — 4.0/5 > **brad** | *28 April 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What stands out most about N-able N-central is how it consolidates monitoring, management, and automation into a single, scalable platform. The unified dashboard gives clear visibility across endpoints, servers, and network devices without needing to jump between tools. Automation policies—especially for patching and remediation—save a significant amount of manual effort and reduce human error. Remote access is fast and reliable, which is critical for day-to-day support. > > **Cons**: While N-able N-central is a strong platform overall, performance can be inconsistent at times. Certain actions—like loading dashboards, executing remote tasks, or navigating between views—can feel slower than expected, especially during peak usage. This can impact efficiency when quick responses are needed. Additionally, support responsiveness has been hit-or-miss. While the team is knowledgeable, there are instances where response times lag or follow-ups take longer than ideal, particularly during urgent situations. Improving platform speed consistency and tightening support turnaround times would make a noticeable difference in the overall experience. > > It provides a solid, centralized platform for monitoring, patch management, and remote support, which helps streamline workflows and reduce the need for multiple tools. The automation capabilities are a major advantage, allowing routine maintenance and issue remediation to run with minimal manual intervention. While there are occasional slowdowns and support response times can vary, the system itself is stable and capable at scale. For organizations managing multiple endpoints or clients, it delivers strong value and dependable performance overall. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/13803/n-central?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/13803/n-central) ## 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 | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
