Pulseway Reviews

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

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

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.

Zetco Valves

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

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.

Pulseway experience with 500+ user

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.

I would recommend Pulseway to anyone who asks.

Comments: Overall, the experience with Pulseway has been fantastic. My current Pulseway account manager, [sensitive content hidden], is fabulous. He listens to my concerns, and keeps them in mind while assisting me. [sensitive content hidden] attentiveness and response time is spot on. I wish all my account manager's were as quick to respond and attentive to my needs/requests as he is.

Pros:

Ease of use. Cell phone app, hands down, is the best one we have seen. The phone app and web app work the same, so there is truly no difference. Very quick to respond to a support issue.

Cons:

Update schedule. I wish they would publish the update schedule so that we can plan accordingly.

Best RMM for small MSP's

Comments: For a small MSP like me it offers everything i need to monitor and remotely support the systems i manage. The mobile app is definitly a huge factor. Also my account manager is regularly in touch which is nice (this was not alwas the case). The lack of integrations will make it more difficultto manage if the amount of systems grow but then again pricing is very fair, and did i mention they have a mobile app to manage your systems?

Pros:

Pulseway makes it possible for me to monitor systems on the go. With the app I can preform most of the basic troubleshooting steps, even remote into the system. With the 3PP add-on i can update the OS and 3PP apps. For a small MSP like me its more then sufficient. I have tried Datto this year but renewed my contract with Pulseway in end.

Cons:

You have less posibilities then a solution like Datto and support is not always as good as it should be. I also use Pulseway PSA which is a great tool but there are not a lot of 3rd party vendors that have integrations with Pulseway. Also the need for having a contract for everything is a bit annoying. I get it for backup, PSA and RMM but when i want to get a couple of SAT licenses contracts are a bit of a hassle.

No better company than Pulseway

Comments: My experience with Pulseway has been nothing less than awesome! The team at Pulseway has been quick and helpful if we do experience an issue. I feel the Pulseway team understands the importance their role plays in the daily success.

Pros:

We currently use PSA, RMM, and IT Glue through Pulseway. The most helpful feature is that all three applications integrate into each other, Azure and on-prem Active Directory. These products are easy to use and navigate once everything has been set up. We use all three of these systems daily, and the RMM mobile application helps us keep tabs on the systems when we are not in the office. The few times we've had to reach out to support, we received fast and helpful responses and solutions usually within a day.

Cons:

It's tough to identify a downside of Pulseway. If I had to be picky, it would be that we cannot do everything in the mobile application that we can do with the web version of RMM. I understand it's tougher to fit all those features into the mobile application but if I HAD to choose something to make better.

A good RMM tool at a good price

Comments: Overall it has been a good platform to use. It offers very helpful tools at a very good price. While I have my complaints about them, they are willing to listen and improve as I have had previous complaints that have been resolved.

Pros:

I like that the platform is constantly improving and adding new features. They are fairly open to criticism and following through on feedback and requests.

Cons:

I am not a fan of the lack of certain features on the web app that their mobile app has such as installing apps and running workflows both ad hoc. There is also a lack of dark mode on the web app. My biggest gripe though is their documentation. It feels incomplete and can be tricky finding information on a certain feature.

A robust RMM solution that deserves your attention.

Comments: Overall, I've been very happy and at ease using Pulseway's platform. The fantastic UI and app support are great for IT workers who are on the go and can't always sit down at a workstation. Over time, I have seen small improvements that make things easier every year. For instance, the new device management page, where you can run a script or workflow on a single workstation rather than manually creating a new scope beforehand, is very handy. From my calls with my Pulseway manager and the various webinars explaining different integrations and features, I'm happy to see that the Pulseway team continues to innovate and improve the platform.

Pros:

The platform is very accessible for SMBs to set up and use. I have only had to call support a handful of times for help over the years I've used the platform. The UI and mobile support are fantastic. When I first started, I had trouble getting quotes from other RMMs because of my low user count. I am truly thankful to Pulseway for making things easy for me. The pricing is very competitive from what I've seen, and this is also appreciated. As someone with a multi-faceted role where I can't spend all my time working solely on security, I appreciate the ease of use and polish that Pulseway brings. Pulseway's support personnel who conduct quarterly or annual calls, along with their general support, are fantastic and very knowledgeable about the product.

Cons:

Pulseway, like any good RMM, comes with full PowerShell access to a single workstation or the entire fleet of workstations through a script or workflow. I wish they had more ready-to-use scripting templates for advanced IT tasks. I have noticed that they have released some nice reporting and script templates since I last checked. Their integrated remote desktop solution for accessing user machines could use some more polish. Additionally, I wish there were more dashboard templates to show other metrics.

A Comprehensive Review of Pulseway

Comments: Overall, Pulseway is a great remote monitoring and management solution for businesses of all sizes. It is easy to use, feature-rich, and highly secure. The cost can be a bit on the high side, but the convenience and peace of mind it provides is definitely worth it.

Pros:

Pulseway is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly remote monitoring and management solution. It provides a robust set of features that allow you to monitor and control your IT environment remotely in real-time. The intuitive dashboard and alerting system make it easy to stay on top of any potential issues. The mobile app has also been designed for maximum usability and convenience, allowing you to access and manage your IT environment from anywhere.

Cons:

On the downside, Pulseway can be quite expensive for larger IT environments. The cost of the solution can quickly add up when you need to monitor multiple servers and devices. Additionally, the mobile app does not offer the same level of control as the desktop version.

Great Product

Comments: I have been using Pulseway for a few years and like the information it keeps at my fingertips. When I have any issues, they are very responsive and helpful. They keep improving and adding features.

Pros:

Great monitoring software. Keeps me very up to date on the condition and security of all my clients. It helps me avoid emergency issues by letting me know things before they get bad.

Cons:

Scripting can be a little confusing. I would appreciate some premade scripts for common additions like monitoring RAID drives.

Solid product with nice features!

Comments: Pulseway has been responsive to requests for information or assistance and both our sales rep and tech support has been available when needed.

Pros:

Product has been reliable and there's new features on a regular basis.

Cons:

Pulseway tries to get you to commit to a 3 year term. However, after speaking with the rep and clearly explaining that we would not agree to a 3 year term, things have been fine.

Genasys Review

Comments: Having a centralized RMM tool to manage my user endpoints and servers makes doing my job much easier.

Pros:

It was quick to deploy and was quite easy to learn. The patch management template is also very convenient. The Mobile application is also extremely handy.

Cons:

Deployment via Intune is not possible at this time.

Amazing Product

Comments: Very Positive, Between Tech Supports Fast respond time, and Sales Rep checking in and letting me know personally of new features

Pros:

Very Fast and Reliable Product. this product and made it 100 times easier to monitor and responded to failures within minutes rather than the end user calling hours after a problem has arrived. This product is has endless features and endless customization for automation.

Cons:

1 update to fix Web viewing of server backups took a long time to fix ( this is now working and flawless), and does not support Legacy OS (Server 2008, Server 2003) but it is a good thing to move forward.

Pulseway Review

Comments: I've used Pulseway for about 8-9 years, primarily to Monitor and Patch server, overall it easy to use and easy to setup.
The Pulseway support is also quick to help in case you need them.

Pros:

Being the responsible person if an outage happens, having the Pulseway mobile application is perfect and makes the monitoring really easy.

Transparency

Pros:

The pricing model and their honesty, their prices are available on their website.

Cons:

Installation methods of the agents and the MacOS support that don’t feel quite done yet.

Pulseway is one of the best companies we have worked with

Comments: We wholeheartedly attribute a significant portion of our success to Pulseway and James Norris. Their comprehensive solutions, combined with exceptional support and guidance, have been transformative for our business. We are confident that our partnership with Pulseway has equipped us with the tools and resources necessary to thrive for years to come. Pulseway has not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we are genuinely excited about the future of our collaboration.

Pros:

Pulseway, under the guidance of our dedicated Account Manager, James Norris, has been instrumental in our company's remarkable growth. Thanks to their solutions, we've seen a nearly $100,000 increase in new revenue in less than 6 months, a testament to their effectiveness. James consistently goes above and beyond, always available to answer calls and emails, ensuring we receive the support we need, when we need it. Their competitive pricing on services has been a significant advantage for us, allowing us to maximize our budget. Moreover, the consulting advice we've received from Pulseway has been invaluable in navigating the daily challenges faced by MSPs.

Cons:

While our overall experience with Pulseway has been overwhelmingly positive, there have been occasional hiccups with integrating some of their solutions with other platforms commonly used by MSPs. However, these instances have been relatively minor and haven't significantly impacted our operations.

Does exactly what I need for my small business.

Comments: Overall Pulseway has done exactly what we wanted, by providing a professional system for monitoring and managing our IT systems remotely. As I run a small business I don't have the time to individually check machines, so the peace of mind knowing that I will be alerted of a problem is great. Automation is also a great benefit.

Pros:

Pulseway allows us to easily manage our IT systems whether they are out on deployment or based in our office. The integration with Slack allows notifications to easily be sent to groups of people highlighting to us potential issues before they become more severe and cause downtime. The iOS app is also very handy, allowing me to see the status of any computers on the go. Knowing that Pulseway can grow with the business provides nice peace of mind as I don't feel like I'm investing in a system that I will some day have to replace. The integration of BitDefender has been a great help too.

Cons:

I'm not an IT engineer or expert in IT management so I found that there was a fairly steep learning curve. I'm more knowledgeable than the average person but kept getting stuck navigating the web portal, especially at the start. The menu system isn't as intuitive as it should be in my opinion. I think there should either be a "simplified mode" for people who just want to get started with organising their IT systems but don't need all the advanced features. Another note is that I find the difference in features available for managing Windows vs Mac clients to be disappointing. For example, you can't automatically install BitDefender via Pulseway on a Mac you have to go into the BitDefender client.

Solid Reliable Scalable Solution for RMM and Beyond

Pros:

dedicated URL, ease of deployment, reliable notifications, patching policies

Cons:

Remove limit on remote desktop bandwidth, we support web conferencing endpoints and are often receiving the error.

Review

Pros:

The user interface and mobile app features

Cons:

The remote control program organization is weird. We ended up removing policies just so we could organize the clients how we wanted to. The file transfer for remote control sessions is horrible. You can't sort or manage files, you can't type a directory path, you can't send directories.

A user of pulseway to 10+ years

Comments: I have been using Pulseway for over 10 years, and overall, it has been a great experience. The product continually evolves, and the new features are always relevant. The pricing is reasonable, making it affordable for small and medium-sized businesses like ours while still providing great value. Keep up the excellent work, team!

Pros:

Managing servers and desktops remotely allows me to deliver an excellent end-user experience from our IT team. The Windows and third-party patching module has significantly minimized the time I spend keeping servers and desktops updated, all while maintaining oversight of the deployments.

Cons:

The remote control feature requires improvement to match the reliability of TeamViewer and currently lacks a centralized management screen for seamless connections. Additionally, the marketing team appears disconnected from the client database, leading to emails promoting products that I have already subscribed to.

Great software for IT management and support

Comments: I've been using Pulseway for approx. 10 years. The software is very stable and I havent experience any downtime or faulty. it's has a lot of functions (patch update management, software deploy, third party patch, anti-virus deployment ) and easy to navigate. Pulseway support has been very good and useful.

Pros:

[sensitive content hidden] has been really great in her customer service field and account manager. she's alway there to help with our enquiries, improve and flexible adjust to our business need. Pulseway RMM is a great product with everything IT management needed from assets management to remote sessions. They are also keep updating and adding more functions to it.

Cons:

Integrated anti-virus Bitdefender need to be fully manageable in pulseway instead of logon to Bitdefender GravityZone itself.

Powerful RMM software

Comments: Overall happy with Pulseway it does everything we need it to do, deploy anti-virus software, patch management etc.. It is really handy having the ability to run Powershell scripts without disturbing the end user. Sometimes I have been able to resolve issues without even remoting in by just running a PS script in the background. I'll be interested to try out the Android MDM once it's implemented, currently only works for Apple

Pros:

It's easy to use and just works, I have had minimal issues and where there has been issues support has been responsive in resolving the issues.

Cons:

Sometimes the remote-control software bugs out/clunky but it has gotten better in some aspects since we've been using Pulseway e.g. It now re-connects to a computer without having to start a new remote session

Great Overall Management Tool

Comments: I am using Pulseway for Systems management and compliance. It is used on end user desktops as well as servers. We use it for Antivirus central management. (Webroot). We use it for end user support using the Pulseway Remote Desktop. We also use it for systems monitoring and alerting. It is a very effective tool.

Pros:

Having the mobile app combined with the web portal allows me to manage my devices practically anytime anywhere! The scripting tools help me accomplish tasks effortlessly for tasks that are not built in to the system, which is rare. It is also a very versatile/customizable tool for monitoring and notifications.

Cons:

There hasn't been an update for the Win 10 App in a while. I would love an investment in this tool. But, I have moved to the web portal as a workaround. I would love to schedule deployment of Antivirus and scripting for when the next time a device checks in, not just when they are online.
