Supporting a private custom software repository
Chocolatey and Homebrew have over 5000 apps, and pushing in new apps is also easy.
However, we heard that some of you would like their own software package repository and install software only from there.

Customized Software in Software Bundle (Private Software Repository)
We are only able to place software which are in Chocolatey or HomeBrew in our software bundles.
We would like to upload customized software to Atera to install on our client's computers via software bundle.

Latest Version in Software Bundles
Software bundles can currently only be created with a specific version of an application. E.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in version: 2021.005.20058, but Chocolatey can always install the latest version.
It should be possible to make bundles that install e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in the latest version. Otherwise the packages often have to be adapted.

Patch approval
Ability to approve patch for release date (install only if before date or older than days).
Ability to don't approve specific ones (es. do not approve KBxxxxxx).We usually postpone installing patches on clients for a few days and manually approve the patch for servers, blocking approval of patches based on their release date.
This allows us to test them and block the installation of specific patches in case we encounter problems.77 votesNice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team.

Overall improvement of Patch Management
This needs an overhaul and the following additional features would be an improvement.
Scheduled Device Scan for Updates
After updates have completed If a user is logged in prompt to reboot every set period of time until reboot accepted.
After Updates If a user is not logged in attempt to reboot to schedule based on local device time.
Allow local admin credential injection in order to force updates through that require a device to not just be turned on but logged in to work.
Approve or Reject updates and set priority for security and critical updates based on the CVE.

Allow customized Windows Updates Deferment
In the Patching section, allow us to configure in the console the ability to customize the end-user experience. Users should be able to defer reboots up to X number of times and then after they reach that amount, have a window that can not be closed out that stays on-screen with a countdown timer of a customizable amount of time. This is standard in enterprise environments and is a courtesy to end users. Also, allow us to brand the window. It is all reg keys.

Wake on Lan automation
We enabled WOL (Wake on LAN) on our desktops. It would be great if we can schedule a WOL packet being send to offline computers before processing the automation task. So we never interupt the end users by processing the updates outside office hours.

Advanced options in IT automation profiles (scan and reboot window)
Support told me that new updates on servers will be searched at the start of the IT automation profile which leads to
- higher bandwidth usage
- more time for applying patches
- reboot time which may is outside of customer's windowWhat we need:
Scan window: set time window for scanning (e.g. on day of patching in the morning/afternoon)
Patch window: set time window for the execution of the patches
Reboot window: window for rebooting (last reboot no later than X:YY)23 votesNice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team. We’ll keep an eye on the number of votes, and let you know if a decision is reached to implement. Thank you for being a partner in our process!

Automated rules based on Criteria
Automated rules based on things like below
- device type - Server / Laptop / Desktop
- OS Type
- OS Version
- etc.
This would then allow us to setup automation rules for newly installed agents or publish IT Automation based on criteria like so
If "computer os" is "windows 10" then install these applications
this automates the ability to install AV / Applications / etc. when a new agent comes online for a customer
this in turn allows for an agent to be installed onto a computer which will then automate chocolaty to install
we would also need options to install webroot…

Display a pop up message before and after an automation and patch task
Before a Scheduled Automation or patch task, we would like to have an option to send an automated message to let users know that this will be happening as well as another message to tell them that their computer will be restarted within X amount of time and let them postpone the restart up to 3 times.

Better Scripting Interface
In other RMM tools I've used in the past, quite often their scripting interface has language checks, colouring, formatting checks, etc. Atera's scripting interface looks like a Notepad document.
It would be a really nice quality of life feature to improve the feel of the scripting interface :)

patch management
It would be good if we can at the device dashboard, select one or multiple devices and execute (RUN Now) a non-applied & unscheduled patch profile
In other words, to assign a patch profile from the list of non-applied & unscheduled patch profile to run immediately and after that remove that patch from the device.
