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.

Thank you, you can book here:

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.

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.76 votesNice! The feature you requested is being reviewed by our product team.

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.

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.

Control the patch management reset policy (notification to users)
As we are using patch management, We need to send a notification to end users before restart, So they can save all the work that they are doing or patch & reset immediately

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.

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

Optimized Automation and Patch
Need to find a better solution for patch and automation.
The fact that you can't run Updates, System Restore Point, and a Restart all on one profile without it running into conflicts makes little sense to me.I have now made 9 total profiles (3 sets of 3 [we have 3 different types of patch profiles running at different intervals]) to fix this. For each type we have to run System restore point, then 1 hour later a separate schedule for patches, then 2 hours after that a different, separate profile for restart. Hopefully it works.
While it isn’t really…

Better Reporting for 3rd Party Patching.
Improve the 3rd party patching report to show what was patched on each machine when the 3rd party patching is run. Software and version of the old build and what was the software and version number of the one installed.

chocolatey rate limiting
It's good if Atera has it's own caching server for avoiding Chocolatey public repo limitations and IP ban, or even better if we can also set ours manually.
Accessing the choco logs from the web interface might also come into great help.
I run software updates for 100+ machines on premises and the option of Atera patch management is not usable as is.3 votes -
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.

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

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…

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 :)
