Action1 Launches a Game-Changing Solution for MSPs

In a significant move aimed at bolstering the security and efficiency of Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Action1 has unveiled an innovative autonomous endpoint management (AEM) platform, aptly named Action1 for MSPs. This pioneering solution offers a unique advantage: up to 200 free endpoints forever, making it an attractive choice for both small and large organizations.

What is Action1 for MSPs?

Action1 for MSPs is a comprehensive patch management platform specifically crafted to address the diverse needs of MSPs. Despite the existing remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, many lack robust patch management capabilities, leaving gaps that can expose organizations to vulnerabilities. Action1 for MSPs seeks to close these critical gaps while enhancing the overall security framework of businesses.

Mike Walters, the President and Co-founder of Action1, emphasized the importance of this new platform by stating, "RMMs are invaluable—they’re the Swiss Army knives of MSP operations. But even the best multi-tool has its limitations when it comes to patching.” This statement underscores the technological advancements that Action1 for MSPs introduces, targeting areas where traditional RMM solutions fall short.

Key Capabilities of Action1 for MSPs

Among its standout features, Action1 for MSPs excels in several critical areas that set it apart from competitors:

1. Extensive Third-Party Coverage: The platform boasts 99% coverage of vital business applications through Action1’s private repository. This allows MSPs to customize and deploy additional applications catered to their clientele.
2. Real-Time Visibility: Users can spot vulnerabilities and patch statuses instantly across all endpoints, eliminating the wait associated with scheduled scans.
3. Phased Rollouts: The platform enables intelligent deployment of updates, minimizing disruptions and downtime for end users.
4. Built-In Reboot Management: Users are provided with deferred options and smart prompts for reboots, facilitating seamless updates.
5. Peer-to-Peer Distribution: This feature reduces WAN usage and speeds up deployments without requiring local caching appliances.
6. Remote-First, Always-On: Being cloud-native means there’s no need for a VPN, ensuring accessibility anytime, anywhere.
7. Cost-Efficient Scalability: Getting started is easy with the first 200 endpoints free, along with transparent pricing for scales beyond that.

Real-World Impact

The efficacy of Action1 for MSPs is evident in testimonials from industry leaders. Brian Strong, CEO of TenHats, reported, "Action1 helped us save about 45 hours per month by automating patch management. That’s a huge enabler for our MSP business. The more we automate, the more money we save, which we can pass on to our customers.”

Such feedback highlights the direct benefits of implementing the platform, which not only streamlines operations but also significantly reduces the time and resources spent on manual patch management.

A Commitment to Security for All

In a world where cyber threats are omnipresent, Action1’s initiative to provide its AEM solution free for up to 200 endpoints is a game-changer for many smaller organizations. This initiative empowers them to protect their infrastructure without financial burdens while offering larger enterprises a risk-free avenue for testing Action1’s capabilities on a larger scale.

As Action1 continues to innovate in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, it remains committed to democratizing access to enterprise-grade security. The introduction of Action1 for MSPs signifies a possible turning point for managed service operations worldwide, paving the way for safer and more efficient endpoint management solutions.
