MSPs worldwide are excited about the platform enhancements and the level of service they receive from Atera as described in the quotes below.
“The Atera RMM functions and updates have been crucial in allowing us to respond to and solve customer issues quickly, no matter what the time or where our technicians might be located,” said Parker Ledbetter, president at Computer Geeks, and an Atera partner. “Having no limitations on the number of agents we can install gives us total access and control over all our monitored devices. This allows us to triage any issue quickly and effectively. From patch management and scripting to threshold alerts and remote desktop control, Atera has us covered.”
“As a medium-sized MSP, our technicians’ time is extremely valuable, so we require a sophisticated set of PSA functions, which Atera is able to provide,” said Russ Gordon, owner at RG Digital, and an Atera partner. “Atera takes the headache out of managing both technicians and their tasks, such as ticketing, time capturing, and billing. With Atera’s on-point and accessible Help Desk system, we never miss a customer request. Atera makes it very simple for us to update different rates on tickets, and at the end of the month, we save a lot of time in preparing the monthly bills.”
