Action1

Overview

Action1 is a cloud-native patch management and remote monitoring platform developed by Action1. It is designed to automate the patching of operating systems and third-party software across managed endpoints, entirely from the cloud, without requiring a customer to install or maintain an on-premises management server. The platform also provides supporting capabilities such as software deployment, remote access, and vulnerability visibility, oriented toward IT teams that need to keep endpoints patched and secure without heavy on-site infrastructure.

Key capabilities

Action1’s core focus is automated patch management, built on an agent-based architecture that is managed entirely through the cloud.

Key features include:

• Automated patching of operating systems as well as a range of third-party applications
• Software deployment for installing or updating applications across managed endpoints
• Remote access to endpoints for direct troubleshooting and support
• Vulnerability visibility, helping identify missing patches and outdated software that could pose security risks
• Reporting on patch compliance and endpoint status across the managed fleet
• Cloud-managed architecture, meaning there is no on-premises server component to install, configure, or maintain

Because patching is centered on cloud management rather than an on-site console, Action1 is oriented toward organizations that want to minimize the infrastructure overhead typically associated with patch management tools.

Typical use cases

Action1 is generally used by IT teams and MSPs that need to keep operating systems and third-party applications patched across distributed or remote endpoints, including devices that are not always connected to a corporate network. Typical activities include scheduling and automating patch deployment, reviewing vulnerability and patch-compliance reports, and using remote access for ad hoc troubleshooting. Its cloud-native, serverless approach to patch management is particularly suited to organizations with remote or hybrid workforces where maintaining an on-premises management server is impractical.

Licensing and pricing

Action1 offers a genuinely free tier covering a limited number of managed endpoints, making it accessible for small deployments without a paid subscription. Beyond that endpoint limit, Action1 is offered as paid, subscription-based software with pricing that scales with the number of managed endpoints. Specific plan tiers, the exact endpoint threshold for the free tier, and current pricing are set by the vendor and subject to change, so the official Action1 website should be consulted for up-to-date figures.

Platform support

Action1 is managed entirely from the cloud, with no on-premises server required for administration. Endpoint agents are available for Windows, with the vendor expanding platform support over time; administrators should check current documentation for the latest supported operating systems before deployment.

Getting started

Action1’s software and agents are obtained from the vendor’s official website, and use of the platform requires creating an account; this catalog does not host installers or distribute the software directly. New users typically sign up for an account, taking advantage of the free tier for a limited number of endpoints or moving to a paid plan for larger deployments, and then deploy the agent to the devices they want to manage. From there, patch policies, deployment schedules, and vulnerability reporting can be configured within the cloud console.
