Chose Nexthink
Also reviewed are Aeternity, Lakeside, and HP Proactive. The selection window wouldn't let me enter these, so putting them here. Nexthink was chosen mainly because of a broader set of use case potential, however, another huge point was the culture of the company. They value …
Chose Nexthink
Nexthink is on the bleeding edge of employee feedback, which allows you to focus on the highest priorities, that in turn enables delivery of the best digital experience.
Chose Nexthink
We leveraged several off the shelf performance tools prior to engaging with Nexthink (Windows Performance Toolkit, PCMark, etc.). Once we did our proof of concept with Nexthink, we knew we'd found the right tool for our organization.
Chose Nexthink
We have explored using other end-user experience management tools but Nexthink stood out to us as the best option. It is very easy to get started with Nexthink using their "Nexthink Learn" platform. From there the integration of the different product offerings was seamless. …
Chose Nexthink
Nexthink approaches the problem from the employees view. Using the perception from employee sentiment campaign to help steer the conversation within IT departments and not in an echo chamber that we’re used to. The community platform alone gives everyone that uses the platform …
Chose Nexthink
Nexthink is the market leader in terms of measuring real user experience w.r.t End-user device. Systrack sensors work great but the GUI is not very attractive. Aternity is another great solution when integrated with other riverbed solutions like Appresponse, NetIM, and …
Chose Nexthink
Nexthink is more than an APM, and can easily provide (to support) CMDB processes a la Servicenow Discovery, so we decided to go with them.

I've been managing desktops for 20+ years and Nexthink was the missing tool out of my toolbox. Just to give some perspective, if you were building and maintaining a house, Nexthink would be comparable to switching up from a hammer and nails and to full blown using a nailgun. Nexthink is a solution accelerator and a well thought out toolset to give you the customer experience at a glance. It allows for so much more visibility just with the default set of data points the Collector (agent) gathers, which is A LOT, and grants you the ability to gather even more data with remote actions. All of this evidence cuts how the "it could possibly be this" and "maybe it's that" discussions when you're troubleshooting an issue. It may not provide the exact answer all the time, but it gives you a "compass point" on where you need to start looking to resolve the issue. Also the service monitoring, activity monitoring, and critical event thresholds really empower the teams to know when a problem is happening and they can get ahead of it before the first call even reaches the Help Desk. Nexthink is a cornerstone tool in our environment for end user experience and I'm excited to see where the go next.

Cons
  • Sometimes it's a bit of a task when we spot an issue and need to provide machine logs for Nexthink to investigate. I believe this isn't the case when you go and use Nexthink cloud.
  • I think the documentation can be improved. It can be very hard to follow and lacks detail.

  • Availability of Single Sign On.
  • Easy profile viewing. Whenever a colleague was mentioned in the town hall, I have to hover over their names and wait for the "view profile" button to appear, instead of just clicking on their tagged names.
  • Improve searching for colleagues' profiles. Whenever I checked on my colleagues via the search button, it will be their mentioned post, and not their profile is shown.

We have explored using other end-user experience management tools but Nexthink stood out to us as the best option. It is very easy to get started with Nexthink using their "Nexthink Learn" platform. From there the integration of the different product offerings was seamless. Nexthink provides a wide variety of library packs that come ready to use out the box, simply import them and start using them. The customisable dashboards have given our product and service owners more visibility than they've ever had before. The Nexthink community is one of the best I have been a part of, everyone is actively sharing ideas and promoting innovation. Nexthink regularly hosts user groups that bring their clients together to discuss use cases and the value they have generated using the tool. They are also very transparent with their roadmap and what they are working on, ensuring the focus is aligned to the needs of the customer.

Return on Investment
  • The biggest ROI has been how Nexthink has helped us is with regards to time. Due to Nexthink, we are able to find/resolve issues much faster due to the great detail that Nexthink shows regarding a device history.
  • Nexthink allows us to be proactive in our troubleshooting. This is a huge ROI, as it provides a summary of our users issues they are facing, and we can then prioritize our time with reaching out to the end users to solve issues before they become major problems for the end user later.
