A precise control over the device reboot from Configuration policy
A precise control over the device reboot from Configuration policy
What we need:
We need to be able to specify a deadline for automatic PC restart and application of updates. Similar to the setting in Group Policy, the deadline time frame can be between 2 and 14 days. After the deadline has passed, devices restart regardless of active hours. Currently, it is between 15 to 180 minutes.What we have in Atera through configuration policy:
• Disable auto-restart with logged-on users
• Restart outside of active hours
• Restart after selected time period
o 15 – 180 minutes
• Allow end users to control device restarts
o Prompt users to restart their devices
o Force restart option after a certain number of prompts
o Option to customize the toast messageWhat we have in MS Windows server Group Policy:
• Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours
o the PC will not automatically restart after updates during active hours
• Always automatically restart at the scheduled time
o A restart timer will always begin immediately after Windows Update installs important updates, instead of first notifying users on the login screen for at least two days
o The restart timer can be configured to start with any value from 15 - 180 minutes
• Specify deadline before auto-restart for update installation
o 2 – 14 days past the default (7 days) restart date
o Restart can happen inside active hours
• Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts
o Updates will be downloaded and installed as soon as they are offered and automatic restarts will be attempted outside of active hours
o Once the deadline has passed, restarts will occur regardless of active hours, and users will not be able to reschedule
o Set a grace period for feature updates and quality updates to guarantee users a minimum time to manage their restarts once updates are installed
o Option to set device to delay restarting until both the deadline and grace period have expired
• Specify Engaged restart transition and notification schedule for updates
o Control the timing before transitioning from Auto restarts scheduled outside of active hours to Engaged restart, which requires the user to schedule
o The transition period can be set between 0 – 30 days from the time restart becomes pending
o Specify the number of days a user can snooze Engaged restart reminder notifications (1 – 3 days)
o Specify the deadline in days before automatically scheduling and executing a pending restart regardless of active hours (2 – 30 days)
• No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
o Only notify the user to restart the computerA precise control over the device reboot from Configuration policy

Version-lock
In development environments, it's critical to be able to set a specific version to applications, which cannot be upgraded further.
It's mostly used for browsers and infrastructure (For example, smbclient for domain-binding changed its tags and broke processes).
Setting up version lock for all packages (not just excluded windows updates) will allow for stable systems.2 votes -
knowbe4
I would love for you guys to offer KnowBe4 as an addon app. They tend to prefer working with larger vendors.

Import Public Holidays for Business Hours
Currently, there is only an option to manually add public holidays in the Business Hours settings. However, it would be better if we could import public holidays from a CSV or TXT file, or from a URL

I want a custom field under customers as a Text Areas not a text field so you can display multiple lines of text
I want my engineers to stay in Atera and use this solely, so having data on the customers within the customers overview page is the perfect place, I was looking to add a few field one being "Backup Procedures" where we can specify how the customer is backing up, so if a customer calls up to get something restored any of my engineers the see how the customer is backing up, without needing to ask other engineers or spend 20 minutes logging into servers to find out.
A Text Area would also be good for listing software that customers use

Asset History should be recorded with the asset
It would be nice to keep a history of asset changes. For example, we have all our laptops/desktops as assets. These items get assigned to a user but can be reassigned to someone else. It would be great to see everyone it has been assigned to. Also, if we change the name of a computer, that should be recorded in the asset history.

Improve Logging for Software Updates
Currently if a software update via Chocolatey or Winget fails, we get a very generic "action failed" message. It would be helpful to know what failed and to pull logs about the failure into the Atera console so that we don't need to remotely connect to the machine and drill down into local log files to identify the cause.

IT Automation Calendar View / More IT Automations information information (consolidated)
A calendar view for all of the automation profiles that shows the day and time of the week they are scheduled for. This would make for way more efficient planning of the automations, especially since it's already recommended to make a restart task a separate automation from other actions. This has caused us to have to create many duplicate profiles and has created an intensely muddy view of the automation profiles.

Advanced IP Address Info (consolidated)
It would be useful to have a 'more' button next to the current external/internal IP address info for a device. This could show more advanced info, Subnet, Gateway, DHCP server, DNS etc.

custom field/form: checkbox with dependencies
When creating Custom Forms, would be nice to have the dependencies option for "checkbox" whe creating a custom field for a custom form.
Example:
1. Is this change request part of an existing project?
Check box option is Yes or No.
Dependencies would now be an option if choosing "Yes"
Text Box 1: to enter project name
Text Box 2: Ticket number of project.5 votes -
task manager
Have Task Manager be more of a representation of what you would see on the Desktop computer. It would be nice to have the different tabs, easier searching for the task we need to end, and graphs of hardware usage.

Configurable Report Export File Names
Accidentally, by exporting a report more than 100 times, I found that the filename gets a timestamp added. So, after creating 'Auditor (100).xlsx' in the downloads folder, subsequent exports have a timestamp like this:
'Auditor - 2025-01-30T153425.123.xlsx'
We find this very useful, and we though it was a feature of Atera.We would like to see the ability to define the report filename that would include:
- Report Name (e.g. 'Auditor')
- Customer Name or Abbreviation (e.g. AcmeLtd)
- Timestamp and format (e.g. 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm')4 votes -
Project Management
I would like to suggest that Atera implement a project management tab to be able to track hours and add deliverables from asset management. This would make it so we only need to use one platform for all our PSA needs.

Custom Statistics Counter
This is an improvement idea next to custom fields.
Custom fields only allow to set a field with a current value but does not keep history data.
This is useful if you want to have a single value which does not change but it won't help if you want to monitor your system in detail.It would be nice to have a custom field which stores historic data and displays this as a graph like the CPU/ memory consumption.
This would allow to run detailed monitoring on server and workstation.The custom statistics counter should only allow numeric values, but including comma-separated (in US dot-separated) values.
Important:
Custom fields are for ALL devices. This makes no sense for custom statistics counter!
It must be possible to define these per device, per group or for all!The way how the custom statistics counter works is the same as for the custom field.
It just runs a powershell script and returns the value. This is written into the counter.
It would be nice to run the script in very short intervals (e.g. 1x / min). Atera currently only allows an interval of 3min due to the synchronization interval, but maybe the script can run 1x/min and just synchronize each 3 minutes.Examples when to use:
- monitor the memory consumption of a specific process. This is more useful than monitoring the memory of a whole device.
- monitor amount/ size of files in a specific folder to if this is growing over time
- monitor if a specific configuration is in place (just return 1 = yes and 0 = no)
- monitor the amount of currently logged on user on a server. This allows to see the peak time and max user count
- run regular speedtests for the internet to see if there is an issue during the day (would require comma/ dot values)
- run interactions with different software products to get their logging into Atera (e.g. amount of error/ action X) for troubleshooting purposeMaybe there is an option to even define a threshold (upper/ lower / equal threshold) which then allows further options:
- trigger a warning / error
- perform an automatic action from atera (run script/ create ticket)This is an improvement idea next to custom fields.

Device column listings
Please allow us to remove AI from the column listing. I don't have the feature, don't want the feature and sick of seeing it on every expletive deleted application I use. I need to do work, not hide AI functionality all damn day.

Agent translation in Italian
It would be nice to have Atera Agent text in other languages (in my case Italian). Curently it's unusable for most of my customers (they don't know english).
I can help with translation if needed.
