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.

Patch management Policy - add prompt user to reboot
Currently the only option when installing patches via a patch management policy is 'Reboot if needed', from what I have been told by Atera support this will automatically reboot the computer even if a user is logged in and actively working
Can you add an option called ' Reboot if needed - Prompt user' which means they choose when to reboot and not just automatically reboot their device

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.

Windows update roll back
It would be great to have a feature to allow for Microsoft patch roll back built into the product. This would be great when Microsoft puts out a patch that does not function as expected and thus affecting machine performance and/or non-functioning.
Every product that I have used in the past offers this feature.

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.118 votesGreat news! This feature has been released! Thank you for helping shape Atera.

Hide Excluded patches when counting available updates
Being able to remove a patch in its entirety from the patch management, instead of it being marked as "Excluded". Not show computers with excluded patches as computers with missing patches in reports or in the agent status.

Use Local Time Zone for Automation Profiles
The ability to schedule automation profiles to run based on a device's local time rather than using the General Time Zone setting. For example, an OS patching automation profile that runs at 11am will run at 11am across every country/location regardless of timezone difference. Currently, the limitation is that if the profile is run at 11am and your selected timezone in Atera is set to '(UTC) - Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London', then this creates a problem where the profile runs in the middle of the night for users in Australia, which then means they won't get patched at the right…

Patch Management Failure Report
Provide Additional Failure Info. At the moment we can not see much information, more log info is needed for the user running the job so we can troubleshoot it internally, it’s probably the command we are running, this will be extremely useful

auto install software based on policies upon enrollment
For the policies section: it should be possible to select what applications or software is installed on every machine after Atera agent installation.
Example, Policy for marketing: every device under the marketing policy will have XXX packages installed. And If I take out devices out of this policy, the apps get uninstalled.
50 votesHi, thank you so much for voting on this idea.
This option is available by adding a software bundle under the IT Automation profiles with the "Run on newly installed agents".
If you need any assistance, please reach out to support@atera.com and they would be happy to help.

Delay Reboot
Would like the ability for users to delay reboot or have some control that they can adjust or delay a reboot. That is so if they are in a video meeting or etc it just doesn't reboot

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.

Software Patches on Patch Management

Way to update Software inventory manually
Right now if we want to automate software installation or patching, we usually write a script to silently install software and have it run on relevant devices.
The issue is that the Atera Software Inventory only updates every 24 hours. It is therefore not possible to ensure that the installation script ran correctly. If the computer then shuts down and is offline for weeks, there is no way for us to ensure that the software installation was actually successful. We need an offline software inventory that can be manually updated. In the worst case the solution should at least be…
