It has the managed anti-virus that is quite effective (Bitdefender) and seems to work well rolling out Microsoft patches. > > **Cons**: N-central has poor reporting. It would be good to have more robust reports on automated tasks, that we can present to customers directly. > > for the most part my experience has been great. Tech resources have be thin and sometime hard to get on the phone, but when we do issues get resolved quickly. ----- ### "N-Central - Yes please" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *December 24, 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Alright, let's talk about the good stuff. The alerting and automation side of things? It's surprisingly flexible and pretty straightforward to set up. Once you get the hang of it, you can build some really smart monitoring that's tailored to your specific clients. That's a huge plus. And I've got to give a shout-out to their customer support. They're very good—knowledgeable and actually helpful, which is not something you can say about every vendor. On the security front, they seem to be on the ball. Nothing's perfect, but they take it seriously, and that's what counts. Finally, the updates. They come out regularly, and you can tell they're listening. They're not just fixing critical bugs; they're actually implementing features and improvements that people in the community are asking for. It feels like a product that's actively being developed, not just maintained. > > **Cons**: Yeah, so the reporting in N-central... it gives you the basics, sure. You can get the numbers. But honestly, it feels a bit clunky. It's like being handed a standard, pre-printed form when what you really need is a blank sheet of paper and a pen. Every client is different—they have their own weird setups, their own special services we manage for them. But the reports try to force all that unique stuff into the same few templates. Trying to dig into why something happened, or to build a report that perfectly matches one client's specific agreement? It's a real fight. You end up wishing you could just ask your own questions of the data and build the exact view you need. For it to be genuinely useful, to actually help us make smarter decisions, it needs to stop being so rigid. We need to be able to slice and dice the data our way, down to the tiny details that actually matter for our business. > > The best thing about N-central is it quietly watches everything in the background, spotting little problems before they blow up into client-alarm-bells. Then, when you do need to jump in, you're not fighting the tool. One click and you're remoted into any machine, anywhere, and it just works. It's less about flashy features and more about having a rock-solid, reliable foundation that makes your whole day smoother. You finish your work and realize the tool itself never caused you a headache. That's the win. ----- ### "RMM Like a Boss (Just Needs a Little More Coffee\!)" — 4.0/5 > **Mitranand** | *May 5, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about N-central is that it’s become a crucial part of how we run our business. It’s flexible, powerful, and lets us manage our clients' environments with a lot of control. But more than the platform itself, the support we get from our account manager (\[sensitive content hidden\]) really stands out — she’s been amazing and truly feels like part of our team. Day-to-day support is also quick and helpful, which we really appreciate. > > **Cons**: The main frustration we’ve had is with the time it takes to resolve smaller software issues or see improvements implemented. It sometimes feels like minor bugs or feature requests take too long to get attention. Also, while some of the product experts we've worked with are excellent, others don’t seem to have a deep enough understanding of the toolset, which can slow things down when we’re trying to get clear answers or advanced guidance. > > Overall, our experience with N-central has been very positive. It’s a solid platform that gives us the tools we need to effectively manage and support our clients. It’s reliable, highly configurable, and continues to be an essential part of our service delivery. While there are areas that could be improved — like quicker rollout of features and consistency across support — the responsiveness of our account manager and the core functionality of the system keep us confident in our partnership with N-able. ----- ### "You are doing good Job. :)" — 4.0/5 > **Karanpal** | *April 25, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: N-central provides more services with flexibility than others. Its standout features include advanced automation for routine tasks, customizable dashboards, and comprehensive network monitoring. It offers scalability, making it suitable for both small businesses and large enterprises. Moreover, it has proactive alerting and patch management tools help ensure efficient system managemnt. improving overall IT performance and reducing the downtime. I like the take control remote service more than the others as it shows info of remote device rightway and real time status of devices. > > **Cons**: I do not like the few options in MSP Manager. Like, while adding the time entry, if I do it manually, it is not saving the time entry, but if I select from the drop-down menu, it works. If we added the wrong email address by mistake, it is sending undeliverable emails continuously. More than 100 emails have been received, which was very annoying. After changing the status of a ticket, we cannot add a time entry, which should be allowed. > > Overall experience is 8.5/10. We have added MSP Manager recently, so exploring the features and options for the time being. ----- ### "Great tool for your MSP to manage end user devices" — 5.0/5 > **Corey** | *April 25, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of keeping computers up to date and the ability to easily connect to end devices. > > **Cons**: The reporting is still lacking. Great example is I should be able to generate a report of all the computers currently running Windows 10 and list their hardware properties. > > Excellent. The support is great, the product works well. We have been using N-Central for 10 years and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/13803/n-central?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/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
