Feature-Rich, Easy to Use, and Very Innovative!!

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: The Pulseway Team will work hard with you to get you up and running, the agent is light, deployment is straightforward and easy. Virtually all the tools you might need are there. It has both a dashboard application that runs locally as well as a Web Interface. Remote access and control are good. The Pulseway Help site: https://www.pulseway.com/resource-centre is a good resource.
Overall for the price, Pulseway is an exceptional value.

Pros:

What I like about Pulseway is that it is easy to use. When you open the console and go to a machine, you can plainly see all the options available to push software, execute DOS or PowerShell commands, send a message to the user, remotely control the PC, scope its hardware, check what software is installed. Its all there, easy to get to and easy to control. Also, Pulseway offers Webroot as a AntiMalware option. Webroot is light and fast and does the job. Our users never complain that our anti-virus software is causing their systems to slowdown or become un-useable. Oh and the Pulseway mobile app is revolutionary!

Cons:

One feature that we have some issues with is the is integration between Pulseway and Webroot. When it works it works great, but here and there on a few systems the PC, Pulseway, and Webroot don't agree as to whether Webroot is installed or not. The fix to this is to do a comprehensive manual cleanup/uninstall and try again. Tech support could be more responsive. I miss the old days when you could call and get help for almost any product, but that's not the norm anymore. Once you get hooked up with a Pulseway technician, they will work with you to resolve your issue.

Pulseway tool to make IT easy

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: We have only the best experience with pulseway and we are always learning new things. It really is a multifunctional tool that makes our work very easy.

Pros:

We use Pulseway for monitoring and remote server management. My favourite thing is that I can control the servers from my phone and in case of any problem I am informed right away and I can sort everything out before the client even notices that there is a problem. Pulseway is a great help and I couldn't imagine working without it.

Cons:

In fact this is the last change where the Pulseway app from the Microsoft store, so it stopped having some basic features like the ability to restart servers, install updates etc... I really enjoyed using the app, and I understand that as part of the progression it's moved to a web interface. But the slowdowns bother me, having to log in, enter 2FAs and such.. But still, it's a great help.

Alternatives Considered: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud

Reasons for Switching to Pulseway: They don't have as many features. And the controls in Pulseway are simpler.

Comments: Pulseway is a reliable remote monitoring tool that simplifies IT management. Its real-time alerts and user-friendly interface are great, though there is room for improvement in performance speed. Overall, it’s a solid choice for IT professionals.

Pros:

Pulseway is an exceptional remote monitoring and management tool. Its intuitive interface and real-time alerts make managing IT infrastructure a breeze. The mobile app is particularly impressive, allowing me to monitor and control systems on the go. Highly recommend it for any IT professional!

Cons:

Pulseway is a decent remote monitoring tool, but it can be a bit slow at times. The mobile app, while useful, occasionally crashes, which can be frustrating. Overall, it gets the job done but could use some improvements.

Excellent product with great customer service

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: From the onboarding on day 1 it has been a really positive experience with good support and backed by excellent customer service and constant improvements to the platform. The endpoint client is simple to setup, the web client is easy to use and allows a lot of fine-grained control and it also provides a lot of peace of mind.

Pros:

Pulseway has given us a really big boost to visibility and issues on our network as well as the power to control both Windows and 3rd party software issues. They also integrate a wide range of products and services which gives us a broad marketplace to choose new IT services from and have them integrate directly into the management platform.

Cons:

Being entirely cloud-based there's a bit of a limit to the usefulness of it as an internal diagnostic tool. Although it's capable of a huge amount it's no help when the internet goes out for example.

Alternatives Considered: NinjaOne

Reasons for Switching to Pulseway: Better value for money for the features they offered. Also their willingness to support SMEs as thoroughly as their bigger clients is really refreshing.

Pulseway experience with 500+ user

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: We are satisfied with the service of Pulseway, but we would be happy if they would listen to the subscriber's needs as well.

Pros:

The platform works reliably and the continously innovate the software in every quarter. The support and the account manager is very helpfull and always has competent answer to our questions.

Cons:

They should be more flexible with customer needs, like transtale the end user customer portal for other languages other than english and german.

Alternatives Considered: Microsoft Intune

Reasons for Choosing Pulseway: Because were inflexible and the support is terrible.

Switched From: TeamViewer Remote

Reasons for Switching to Pulseway: Because I've already knew the software and it's functions.
