The 11 N-able Alternatives IT Pros Are Switching To in 2025

As one of the leading IT management platforms, N-Able is constantly compared to other IT solutions for companies that are looking for an IT management platform. So, it raises the question: what are the best N-able alternatives? 

Well, today we’ll go over a side-by-side comparison of N-Able and 11 of the best alternatives on the market so you can find the right solution for you.

These N-able alternatives are the highest rated and are widely used within IT departments and MSPs alike. Before reviewing the alternatives, let’s look at N-able and its strengths and limitations.

What is N-able?

N-able provides IT teams with essential IT management features like RMM (remote monitoring and management), patch management, IT ticketing, and remote access. It’s not just one product; it’s a suite of tools, and the features are split between them.

Why look for a N-able alternative?

After looking at customer reviews from G2, Reddit, and Capterra, we found that the main limitations customers discuss in the reviews of N-able are its lack of development, unreliable customer service, and lack of integrations.

Let’s take a closer look at each limitation, according to users.

1. The development has slowed down

According to a number of customer reviews on Reddit, the development of one of N-able products, N-central, has slowed down.

One Reddit user concluded “The development has stalled and it is not a modern RMM. The last releases have been plagued by bugs and N-able has shown very little interest into resolving feature requests.”

In our opinion, this is a serious drawback for N-able since we believe in listening to customers and implementing feedback.

For example, Atera has a public product roadmap where we display all of the upcoming features. In addition, users can submit and vote for new ideas on the Features Board, and popular ideas are often implemented on the platform.

2. Unreliable customer service

One of the most common complaints among N-able customers was unreliable customer service. Users mentioned that they we’re either completely ignored or the first line of customer support wasn’t very helpful.

Below, one Reddit user describes their frustration with N-able’s unresponsive account managers and misleading product claims, resulting in contract cancellations:

You can’t afford to downplay the necessity of quality customer service. The last thing you want is to be in the middle of an IT crisis and for your RMM platform to be non-responsive. If customer support is a priority for you, you may want to consider another IT management platform. At Atera, for example, we’re proud of our stellar 24/7 customer service (and our reviewers love it too).

3. The integrations are lacking

Customers mentioned on G2 that N-able products don’t integrate extremely well together, and many of the third-party integrations lack features from the standalone product.

For many IT users, strong third-party integrations are an important factor in deciding on the best IT management platform to use. Why? These integrations help enhance the functionality of the platform and make it usable in conjunction with other platforms that are already part of your IT strategy (or new ones you want to use to build out your IT environment). 

If you’re looking for an IT management platform with an expansive set of integrations, look no further than Atera. We have a great selection of integrations available, including security-focused options like Emsisoft, ESET, Bitdefender, Webroot, Ironscales, and others. But security isn’t the only IT facet our integrations cover. We also have popular picks like Google Calendar, Homebrew, IT Glue, Chocolatey, Office 365, Quickbooks, Splashtop, and Anydesk. With Atera, the world is your oyster when it comes to IT efficiency integrations.

What are N-able’s strengths?

N-able does have its own set of limitations, but customers have also reported strengths. These mainly revolve around its flexibility and the ability to manage clients’ devices from one unified platform.

1. Flexibility of the software

N-able provides flexibility by offering different products for different purposes, which customers report on G2. If paying for multiple subscriptions isn’t a problem for you, you may benefit from this.

2. Centralized management of clients’ IT infrastructure

With N-able, you can manage your clients’ devices and endpoints from one unified platform. Despite being a standard feature in today’s IT management software, N-able’s customers on G2 appreciated this functionality.

N-able pros and cons: Takeaways

To conclude the two previous sections, here are the pros and cons of N-able.

The pros:

• N-able offers multiple products that can be integrated to create a full-featured IT management solution
• N-able enables centralized management of clients’ devices and endpoints

The cons:

• The product development has been lacking in the past years
• The overall customer support is mediocre
• N-able’s products aren’t well integrated, and third-party integrations lack features found in standalone products

11 best N-able alternatives for IT teams in 2025

Next, let’s take a look at the 11 best alternatives to N-able, according to our findings.

1. Atera

Atera vs. N-able: Key differences

1. Key features: Both Atera and N-able offer all the essential IT management features, including RMM (remote monitoring and management), IT ticketing, patch management, and remote access. Of the two, only Atera uses AI to help technicians automate repetitive tasks, such as resolving tickets and generating scripts.

2. AI advancements: Atera’s brand-new AI Copilot tool makes it easy to harness the power of AI to improve IT department efficiency and effectiveness. AI Copilot is like your personal assistant for IT management, answering all your questions in real-time, helping to manage your tickets, troubleshoot devices, generate scripts, and more. In fact, Atera users who have taken advantage of Copilot AI have reported 10X faster ticket resolution times. 

How does Copilot do it? Atera is the only IT platform that has a partnership with Microsoft’s OpenAI (want to know more about this partnership? Check out our webinar here.). With advanced reporting and analytics, you’ll be able to see the difference Atera’s Copilot AI tools make in no time!

In comparison, while N-able offers IT automation, it hasn’t announced any AI developments for its RMM or PSA tools. 

3. Platform usability: Customers praise Atera for its user-friendliness, even receiving industry recognition by G2 as the top-rated platform for ease of use. Meanwhile, N-able’s customers report that the user interface needs to be revamped, and the development has slowed down.

1. Customer support and community

Atera and N-able both offer live chat, phone, and email support. Both platforms also have a resource center with tutorials. Customers rate Atera’s customer service very highly, whereas N-able customers report a lack of reliability in customer support.

2. Features and capabilities

Atera and N-able both offer similar features designed for enterprises and growing businesses alike. Since the features are similar, the question really is what separates them and which software is preferred by most IT teams.

For an in-depth comparison of Atera vs. N-able’s features, check out the following G2 table:

Both Atera and N-able also offer remote access capabilities, but Atera is the only one that does not charge extra for this functionality.

3. Pricing and value for money

At Atera, we believe in transparent pricing, meaning you won’t be surprised by any unexpected charges. We offer scalable pay-per-technician pricing, starting at just $129 per month for MSPs and at just $149 per month for IT departments.

Atera’s IT department pricing

Below, you can find Atera’s dedicated pricing plans for both MSPs and IT departments.

Atera pricing for IT departments:

• Professional: $149 per month, per technician
• Expert: $189 per month, per technician
• Master: $219 per month, per technician
• Enterprise: Custom quotation; contact sales to get pricing

Atera pricing for MSPs:

• Pro: $129 per month, per technician
• Growth: $179 per month, per technician
• Power: $209 per month, per technician
• Superpower (Enterprise): Custom quotation; contact sales to get pricing

In comparison, N-able doesn’t publicly showcase its pricing; to get it, you need to contact the N-able sales team.

At Atera, we believe in transparent pricing – you should know exactly what you are paying for and why from the start. Plus, our all-in-one product makes pricing easy, and you get the most bang for your buck!

To fully utilize N-able’s features, you must also subscribe to several of its products, as opposed to just one, like with Atera.

Plus, for IT departments that manage dozens of devices, the pay-per-device pricing model can get expensive quickly. Atera’s pay-per-technician pricing model makes scaling much more cost-effective.

2. Domotz

Domotz is geared towards IT professionals and MSPs who require remote network monitoring and management. From N-able’s suite of products, Domotz is the closest alternative to N-central, which also provides network monitoring tools. One strong point of Domotz over N-central is its simple user interface, which is ideal for newcomers to RMM tools.

Domotz has a user-friendly interface, but its features are relatively simple, which is its primary drawback. If your workflows are more advanced, you might need to consider another alternative, such as Atera.

G2 Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0 (85+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0 (100+ reviews)

Domotz Pricing:

• Starts at $1.50 per device (minimum of 20 devices)

3. ManageEngine

ManageEngine offers a range of products for managing organizations’ IT infrastructure. One of its main products, Endpoint Central, provides remote monitoring and management, network discovery, patch management, and remote control capabilities.

Most of ManageEngine’s products are tailored for enterprises. This can be seen in their features, which are capable of a lot but are also known for their complexity. G2 customers mention that it’s difficult to locate some features and navigating the platform is challenging.

G2 Rating: 4.4 out of 5.0 (800+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.6 out of 5.0 (900+ reviews)

ManageEngine Pricing:

• Pricing is based on a custom quotation. To get the pricing, request a quote from ManageEngine’s sales team.

4. SuperOps

SuperOps MSP provides RMM, PSA, project, and task management tools for IT teams and is part of an intuitive MSP software. Like Atera, SuperOps also incorporates AI features into its platform to help technicians be more productive.

SuperOps offers the all-in-one IT management experience many IT teams may be looking for, but the software does have drawbacks, such as bugs that customers are experiencing. Plus, SuperOps has a minimum user limit of 10, so it may not be suitable for smaller companies.

G2 Rating: 4.6 out of 5.0 stars (120+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: n/a

SuperOps Pricing:

• MSPs: Starting at $129 per user, per month for the unified PSA and RMM package
• IT teams: Starting at $150 per month for 100 devices

5. Syncro

Syncro provides PSA, RMM, help desk ticketing, and patch management functionality in a single subscription. Similarly to Atera, Syncro uses a pay-per-technician pricing model, which differs from N-able’s per-device pricing model. 

Looking into reviews of Syncro; the platform is mostly known for ease of use, largely due to its simple features. Depending on your needs, the simple features may be a benefit or a disadvantage. Syncro is specifically designed for MSPs, so internal IT departments may not benefit from many of its features.

G2 Rating: 4.5 out of 5.0 (220+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.6 out of 5.0 (70+ reviews)

Syncro Pricing:

• Core Plan: $139 per user, per user
• Team Plan: $189 per user, per month

6. Kaseya

Kaseya helps to automate a wide range of IT operations, including tickets, audits, monitoring, and reporting. Similar to N-able, Kaseya offers a range of products that must be integrated together to provide RMM and PSA functionality.

One of its main products, Kaseya VSA, offers RMM, patch management, and remote access capabilities. Like N-able, Kaseya uses a pay-per-device pricing model, meaning costs can rise quickly if you manage multiple devices.

G2 Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0 (300+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.1 out of 5.0 (200+ reviews)

Kaseya Pricing:

• Custom pricing system in place. Visit their website to learn more.

7. Datto

Datto provides various products that help IT departments manage and automate various IT-related tasks. Its main product, DattoRMM, provides remote monitoring and management, remote access, and patch management features. If you need PSA capabilities, you can integrate DattoRMM with Autotask PSA, which is another Datto product.

While Datto has its advantages, such as the RMM and PSA capabilities, it does have limitations, including a complex user interface and a lack of good customer service, according to user reviews.

G2 Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (540+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars (25+ reviews)

Datto Pricing:

• Custom pricing available. Contact Datto’s sales team to get the pricing.

8. Lansweeper

Lansweeper’s IT discovery platform offers cross-platform asset discovery, unified asset inventories, analytics, risk insights, and visualization capabilities. The software’s primary purpose is to provide network discovery of all connected devices, users, and software within your IT system.

For these purposes, Lansweeper can be a suitable alternative to N-able. However, it is lacking in many other areas, including RMM, patch management, network discovery, and PSA functionality. This is something most IT teams are looking for, and alternatives like Atera provide it.

G2 Rating: 4.4 out of 5.0 stars (50+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.5 out of 5.0 stars (60+ reviews)

Lansweeper Pricing:

• Free: Free plan available for less than 100 assets
• Starter: Starting at $219 per month, for 2000 assets
• Pro: Starting at $399 per month, for 2000 assets
• Enterprise: Custom pricing. Starts from 10,000 assets

9. HaloPSA

HaloPSA is a PSA solution for MSPs. The platform includes a help desk and ticketing, sales CRM, project and contract management, and billing and reporting features. HaloPSA is known to be a strong N-able alternative for PSA purposes.

HaloPSA doesn’t offer built-in RMM capabilities, but it does integrate with different RMM software, like Atera. However, this means investing in two different software instead of selecting one all-in-one IT solution.

G2 Rating: 4.8 out of 5.0 stars (25+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.9 out of 5.0 stars (25+ reviews)

HaloPSA Pricing:

• Starting at $109 per month, per user

10. NinjaOne

NinjaOne helps MSPs and IT departments automate, manage, and remediate device and endpoint management tasks. NinjaOne is especially known for its RMM capabilities.

The downside of NinjaOne is that it does not come with PSA. To get this functionality, you need to integrate it with third-party software, which is a dealbreaker for many IT teams. PSA features are something competitors, including Atera, offer.

G2 Rating: 4.7 out of 5.0 (1,700+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.8 out of 5.0 (200+ reviews)

NinjaOne Pricing:

• NinjaOne states it prices per endpoint but does not make its pricing available publicly; pricing is based on custom quotation. To learn more, visit their website.

11. LogMeIn Resolve

LogMeIn Resolve (formerly GoTo Resolve)  offers a help desk and ticketing, remote support, patch management, and IT automation on one platform. The software is specifically designed for small businesses and has an easy-to-use interface.

The ease of use is also LogMeIn Resolve’s strong point over N-able, which has a reputation for being complex. LogMeIn Resolve could be the right choice for small businesses seeking simplicity and affordability. Teams seeking more robust ticketing, reporting, and patch management may find it lacking.

G2 Rating: 4.4 out of 5.0 (400+ reviews)

Capterra Rating: 4.4 out of 5.0 (200+ reviews)

LogMeIn Resolve Pricing:

• Remote Access: $23 per month
