There is now vulnerability scanning on mac. And Apple File Vault as i can read..not used it yet > > **Cons**: At the moment, i really don't use it enough to have any negative perspective on it. It works a tad complex on setup, maybe > > The team seems very happy with it.I am excited about the Mac and Linux additions as that is great for my current clients ----- ### "The best RMM I've tested" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *30 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The main thing about N-Central that won us over is the reliability of running scripts. Scripts are executed almost immediately, on-demand and scheduled. Its very responsive and we've not encountered any issues at all that weren't our own fault. > > **Cons**: There is a lack of support for Linux distros, the documentation claims to support linux however the "support" is very limited at the moment. > > Generally a great experience, its a little difficult to get setup and figure out menus but once it has been setup its a very powerful piece of software. Their public roadmap is very encouraging that this will only be getting better\! ----- ### "Missing NAble at my new job" — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *29 November 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Automatic Elevated CMD access. Otherwise initial review remains the same as it was previously reported > > **Cons**: No longer use at my new iob. Otherwise my initial thoughts still remain the same as previously reported > > I no longer work at the place that used this. Actually miss it over ScreenCnnect. Wish we used this at my new employer ----- ### "Cove/N-Able Backup" — 5.0/5 > **Spencer** | *13 December 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Cove sends backups directly to cloud storage that’s isolated and immutable by design, meaning ransomware or local failures can’t easily corrupt your backups.  Cloud storage is included in the pricing, removing the need to buy and manage expensive local hardware. > > **Cons**: That reporting lacks depth and dashboards could be more customizable or easier to navigate. UI isn’t super user friendly, but the training on it was good. > > Great, would recommend to other MSPs. We’ve been using and enabling Cove/N-able at our business for over a year now. ----- ### "N-Able works and works" — 4.0/5 > **Frank** | *5 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Remote desktop is the best I have experienced in the industry, easy to use, notification to user, good performance. Monitoring in general, very customizable, alerts are clear to what they are at. Easy to tune. Most alerts have built in reporting that can be exported to variety of formats. Scripting, cannot say anything bad about it. Write a script and away you go. > > **Cons**: Reporting used to be an independent unit, I think since integration it has lost of of it usefulness. Has gone through several revisions of patch management, have not used the current version Gave up about 3 years ago. Network monitoring? difficult, Surprisingly alerting. 3 level of alerts, customer, org and SO, it seems if you configure customer it should be the priority, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Have the alert use an email at CU level, you may get it. > > Been with them for N-Able to SWinds, to N-Able, better as standalone product. They seem to pick a product then go tired of it, and swap it out. At least their core mission still worked well. Think it one of the best if not the best RMM product. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/161863/solarwinds-n-central?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/161863/solarwinds-n-central) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
