## Reviews

### "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.

-----

### "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 \&amp; 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.

### "Reliable and Powerful RMM Platform for MSP Growth" — 5.0/5

> **Sean** | *11 May 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: N-central provides excellent visibility and centralized management across all client environments. The automation capabilities, device monitoring, patch management, and remote access tools significantly reduce administrative overhead, improve response times, and deliver a strong ROI by saving both time and operational costs. Its flexibility and scalability make it ideal for managing both small and large customer environments, and their customer support team is knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful when resolving issues or optimizing platform performance.
> 
> **Cons**: The initial setup and learning curve can be challenging, especially for new administrators. Some advanced configurations and policy tuning require deeper product knowledge, and the interface can occasionally feel cluttered when navigating complex environments.
> 
> Overall, my experience with N-central has been very positive. It has become a core platform in our managed services operations, allowing us to streamline endpoint management, automate repetitive tasks, improve patch compliance, and proactively monitor client systems. Its robust feature set and reliable performance have helped us deliver better service and support to our customers.
