How do you guys feel about pulseway? (self.sysadmin)

I am setting up a new RMM solution and my first thought was to create a VPN with active directory. It turned out to be harder than I expected so I'm looking for cost effective solutions.

The company I work for used to use pulseway but everyone who set it up either left or is deceased. It seems to be priced right and it seems to have all the features I need. If anything its overkill.

Has anyone here ever used it? I'm a bit scared of supply chain attacks but I think I can get over my fear with convenience and price.

We tested out Pulseway a while back but weren’t confident in it’s patching process. We ended up using Action1 because of the price and the simplicity of it. They have a good community on discord that’s always helpful and they’re consistently adding new features. The also host weekly webinars (usually about patching) to help to get up and running.

I guess RMM is a broad term though, cuz I’m not sure about the VPN to AD situation you’re talking about. Are you hosting Pulseway on your own server?

AFAIK Action1 is only cloud-based right now, just install the agent and go. You can also set up a service account on your DC and use their deployer to auto install the agent on domain devices.

I've been testing it as well and you may be right

Action 1 has been a godsend to me. I tried a few paid rmm suites and they either failed or just had so much bulk it was a minefield.
