One of my needs was to find something that would be cost-effective for my organization while providing a great toolset to help me lasso all my endpoints together. I discovered <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.action1.com\/signup.html?refid=ref_l_0033s000018spVv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Action1<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.action1.com\/signup.html?refid=ref_l_0033s000018spVv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Action1<\/a><\/strong> has turned out to be a great tool in gathering information about my endpoints, being able to finally have a managed patching solution where I can specify what patches to approve and when to let them be installed, and allows me to do a whole set of other functions such as remote script executions, custom package deployments, scheduled actions based on conditions, and nice remote desktop access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price for <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.action1.com\/signup.html?refid=ref_l_0033s000018spVv\" target=\"_blank\">Action1<\/a><\/strong> is great. It is free for 100 endpoints. Since I am using quite a bit more than that, I have a paid subscription that is extremely affordable. I now have all my endpoints being patched consistently, supported all via the same method, and software deployments and reporting all handled from the same place. Action1 is a lifesaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Endpoint Management with Action1\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jrFa1NwEQPw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Give Action1 a try for yourself by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.action1.com\/signup.html?refid=ref_l_0033s000018spVv\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>CLICKING HERE<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first started at my current job I needed to find a solution that would help me get an inventory of all my assets, assist me in managing and patching as well as some kind of remote access.
