It's 3rd party application patch management goes far beyond the likes of Chocolatey. It's application deployment capabilities are largely overlooked and people don't seem to appreciate just how valuable they are. > > **Cons**: It's a developing platform the will is on track to evolve into a full RMM. Some filtering and workflows could be optimised, that said I am constantly seeing great developments along the way. > > I wish I had found Action1 before I committed to another RMM. The main functions of my very expensive RMM are redundant as I'm really only using it for Splashtop and PSA. Although Action1 doesn't replace the full RMM I can use much cheaper tools to bridge the gap. A very overlooked part of Action1 is it's application deployment capabilities. Only 1 RMM comes close to Action1 for application deployment. ----- ### "Action1 is number 1 for patching :)" — 5.0/5 > **martin** | *9 September 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Does an excellent job of automating all Windows patches as well as apps like Browsers, pdf programs etc. I've never had 1 issue with failed updates in over 2 years. The free 100 user accounts are a fantastic way to evaluate the system, start small and see how it goes\! > > **Cons**: It would be nice to have an OSX version, but on its way apparently. But no big deal as we are a 99% windows shop. > > Smooth sailing, no issues at all. It has never missed a beat. ----- ### "Fantastic product - Patching tool that just works\!" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *19 July 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and effectiveness of patching. Vulnerability scanning for Windows workstation and servers exceeded my expectation. Saves my team time but scanning, detecting and patching vulnerabilities all within one platform. > > **Cons**: Pricing model. Availability to end-users and not channel only. ----- ### "Indispensable Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *1 October 2025* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to setup, both with the agent deployment and with being able to dynamically group endpoints. We've found the remote support tools indispensable and being able to run PowerShell scripts against endpoints remotely has greatly improved our response to issues. No more running around or remoting around to get simple fixes applied, just send out a script automation. Update approval has streamlined the deployment of windows and software updates across the network giving visibility into where those updates are not applying correctly. > > **Cons**: It feels like with the wealth of information it gives that some more critical vulnerabilities might get missed amongst the back log. For example one laptop has come out of a cupboard and tripped 500+ vulnerabilities which then hides the ones that work the other way and effect 500+ computers. > > Very positive. Our account manager has worked with us and been very helpful making sure we find the bits of the product we need. ----- ### "Amazing free patch management and software/script deployment\! Don't turn this one down." — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *20 August 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a reliable free tool (up to 200 devices) for patch management, software deployment and script deployment. It has tools to remotely access devices too. Easy to use, clear interface and doesn't cost a penny for sub 200 users. Setup is really easy too. > > **Cons**: Nothing, this is a great product throughout. If I was being fussy I'd say some people might think the interface is a little bland. > > I've been using Action 1 for over a year and I can't speak highly enough of this tool. I've previously used WSUS, GoTo Resolve and SuperOps and Action 1 is simpler, more reliable and provides a progress status (unlike lots of the others where you deploy an update and only know how it's gone when you've left it for two days to be sure, then find it hasn't deployed etc.). The ability to deploy software and create custom software deployments is great. There is a feature to upload the msi, so it will deploy over the internet and doesn't rely on a network or connected cloud storage such as onedrive etc. We have an in-house msi package and we can release a new version which is immediately identified as an update alongside the standard windows updates and application updates. I prefer our other remoting in tools, but action 1 having the ability to remote in has been a life-saver on more than one occasion when other methods have failed. It also links in to Active Directory so will auto deploy agents making it really slick. Love this tool, can't fault it. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/180609/action1-rmm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
