Pros
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made.""Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."

Cons
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service.""The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."

More N-able Take Control Cons →

"They could improve the reporting.""One challenge we do notice is that the application is limited to Windows servers only. If a customer has a Linux server, things get complicated. They should open it up a bit to be more compatible with different types of servers.""There is room for improvement in the pricing policy. The price point is pretty aggressive.""The solution may not scale well for enterprises.""When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work."
