More IBM OpenPages Cons →

"The initial setup needs technical knowledge.""There are many limitations. If I'm using a Windows 10 system and Windows has certain restrictions, Nexthink won't be able to penetrate into the Windows OS due to those restrictions.""Nexthink could have better integration with ITSM tools - at the moment, they only integrate with ServiceNow, so adding other tools, like HP SMAX, would be very useful.""In our company, we can't deploy anything from Nexthink the way we can deploy from any other endpoint solutions. It is not possible to create any dashboard in Nexthink...One should be able to schedule monitoring in Nexthink.""I would like it if they could put in some patch deployments and compliances.""The next release could use some improvement in the tools that are provided.""We would like better connectivity with SCCM for on-premises infrastructure and autopilot for cloud deployment.""It lacks a library for standard EXEs to be named automatically."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Nexthink can pay for itself quickly if you identify and complete the most valuable use cases. The tool can do so much that to purely compare the price in a static way to other tools in your arsenal would be a mistake. If you do a more dynamic comparison that’s based on the overall functionality and use cases possible then it comes out cheaper. You need to consider it a relative measurement against potential use cases, size of the organization, maturity of organization, etc."
  • "With this implementation of the Act and Engage module, I believe that there is a one-time fee for a two-month period, which is for the support team to make additional customizations."
  • "I have seen it help improve the user experience scores. This helped clients to save costs on another tool that they were trying to deploy in order to improve the user experience by just deploying some scripts. We were able to identify the issues and help them remediate those using our help. The process does not take much time and it provided background on end user performance. Therefore, they were able to save a lot, e.g., for approximately 50,000 endpoints at two dollars per machine per year, that is about $100,000 in savings."
  • "There are certain layers when it comes to pricing. The product has three layers and these layers are associated with certain sources. For example, the top layer have the premium services and the bottom layer has the basic services."
  • "I would rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten. The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-use."

    About the Nexthink Experience

    Nexthink aims to eliminate the barriers to a better digital experience by accelerating innovation across all endpoints. How does Nexthink work?\

    • Analyze: Nexthink captures and visualizes event-level data so the user can be on top of connection failures, application crashes, and software installs. Nexthink Analyze also gives the user the ability to correlate employee sentiment with technical metrics. Those metrics can be quantified, and the user can improve employee sentiment through the given score.
    • Act: Using an extensive catalog of one-click, automated actions, users can fix common IT issues and give their support desk the ability to resolve incidents remotely. In addition to automated fixes, users can install software and update critical services quickly through customized remediation scripts.
    • Engage: IT teams engage in a two-way communication tool to help with submitted tickets. With an attention-grabbing notification, employees will become aware of critical information and can then fix problems more quickly.
    • Integrate: Personalize and enhance your business and IT processes with a large range of integrations and connectors. Users can import and export data, optimize ITSM solutions, authorize employee chatbot self-healing, and enhance Service Desk efficiency.
    • Application Experience: Users can combine Real User Monitoring and Digital Employee Experience to gain the visibility and actionability needed to manage these applications properly.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Nexthink is a leading solution in digital employee experience management software because it gives valuable advice and actionable steps into employees’ daily experiences.

    A tech specialist at a tech services company writes, "The initial setup is very simple."

    A second-level support team leader at a consultancy agency notes, "The solution’s visualizations are very good. It's very easy to use them... We can give our senior managers, our directors, and our partners a dashboard at a very high level. They can very easily start to drill down by clicking through the dashboard and find stuff that doesn't look right. And our technical teams can use the same thing to identify problems in specific locations."
