  1. I know the Atera patch management function uses the WUA API to perform tasks, but additional functionality based on a device's vendor would be very helpful. I've noticed that patch management can often miss BIOS and firmware updates rolled out by vendors like Dell or HP, if Windows Update doesn't catch them.

  2. Currently when you push a Windows 11 upgrade to a device and that upgrade finishes installing, the user will get a brief notification that the device will be restarted soon and then it forces a restart. It would be good if there was a way to either have the automatic restart disabled so they user can restart the computer at their choosing or have the upgrade follow whatever Configuration Profile is setup for that device so that it follows the companies normal patching installation procedures.

  3. When creating an automation profile there is no clean way of creating an automation that runs every other week.
    For example I wish to run a secondary backup every other Friday. Currently you have to choose Friday for weekly and disable it every other week.

  4. When disk space goes over my 80% threshold I get a warning, that's great. But 79.999% doesn't constitute "Resolved", I'd like to set the hysterises level (say to 5%, it's defacto 0% right now) so the warning comes in at 82% and is considered resolved at 78%. By adding this degree of hysteresis, the flood of Alert Problem / Alert Resolved messages is reduced.

  5. Patch Management, IT Automation, and Script retry option, when executed allow the agent to retry a specified number of times before failing. This would prevent a lot of automation failures, and fix 90% of the issues I have with Atera.

  6. This report will allow us to check all machines before and after the patch automation process. It will help identify machines where patching was missed, enabling us to address any issues and ensure all systems are up to date. Additionally, if possible, we would like the option to set up donut charts for subfolders within customer folders to provide a visual representation of the data.

  7. Automate Scripting off of custom fields variables
    EX. Custom field is checked then perform y script

    Automate scripting off of ticket automation rules.
    EX. Ticket has status of "new hire" run script y.

    and even allow to apply and remove profiles to users automatically from tickets or custom fields.

  8. Make it so you can use wildcards when monitoring service names. Different versions of Windows use different names for services. For example:
    Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service
    Windows Defender Antivirus Service

    If we could enter wildcards we would be able to look for:
    *Defender Antivirus Service
    As long as something matched you wouldn't get an alert. Same issue with the firewall. There are different names between different versions.

    The next step would be to add logical operators. So I could look for Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service OR Windows Defender Antivirus Service

  9. it would be awesome if we can use the description field in the ticket to setup an automation rule, for example > if the description filed contain a word > assign to technician

  10. As it stands, if we want to use the API to create a ticket and then interact with it, we need to create the ticket and then constantly poll the API to find the ticket.
    Since any API request has to involve a response from Atera servers regardless, could the Ticket# of the created ticket be included in the response?
    This could be expanded to other API calls, i.e., when you create a customer, alert, contact, device, etc.

  11. It would be great if there was a way to delay the Patch & Automation Feedback Report. We get alot of "false" Reports because some of the devices are offline when the Patch Management and IT Automation is scheduled. Lets say the device gets started 1-2 Hours after the schedule - the updates get done later but the report says it has failed. This makes it very time consuming for us because we have to lookup every device seperatly and see if the updates were completed or not.

  12. Patch Management Profiles should include options to configure a custom message to pop-up for the end users. It would be nice to be able to give users a warning notice letting them know of the updates and reboot. Give the users the ability to postpone the reboot for the number the Admin allows (3 or 5 times) and after the final warning the updates are applied and rebooted.

  13. It would be extremely beneficial if there were logs of which patches were deployed to an agent in case of issues.

    We had a Mac device restart after receiving an update and it booted back into recovery with us unable to recover the device. Without knowing which patch this device received, we cannot exclude the patch from other devices. Instead we have to disable OS updates to avoid any additional device failures.

  15. First of all, It would be nice to have either detailed documentation on how to setup and use IT Automation and Patch Management. I have not been able to find anything that goes into fine grain detail on how to setup IT Automation and Patch Management. I have kind of had to experiment. Not a good way to learn or use a product.

    Second, More needs to be done to help with updating 3rd party software, e.g. Google Chrome. I know how to create a bundle to push Software Bundles out to new devices, but I need a way to…

  16. From what I understand from the Helpdesk I just spoke to when a automated task such as sfc /scannow or dism commands occurs or even other tasks that require a system that does not need a restart the following applies.
    1. Offline devices will try to perform the task when they start>>which is fine
    2. Online devices that fail for example due to "pending other operations described above say needs a restart for updates" the task will fail and NOT try again.

    Would it not be better to have the option on automated tasks to have a tick box for…

  17. OSX updates and software deployment using homebrew is broken on Apple Silicon based devices. It would be great to see an update or enhancement to allow easier management of mac devices.

  18. Hi team,

    I would love to see some live overview directly on the device detail page that shows automation jobs that are currently running on that device, as well as jobs that will be following with timestamps. This takes away the need to run the "Last process" reports and I see what is happening on my device in real time.

  20. Atera needs to have a single pane of glass view of the overall compliance for a device of ALL updates for a device.

    Under Devices the "Available Patches" should include ALL Security & Critical updates for both Microsoft Windows or Server and include Critical Updates for 3rd Party Patching.
