Backup & Recovery	A hybrid cloud backup & recovery backup solution, based on Cove Data Protection (Cove). It supports backup and recovery at the file, application or machine level, and protects both physical and virtual machines. The Professional and Documents editions of Backup and Recovery are available for Windows, and the Documents edition is available for Mac.
Device Inventory	The Device Inventory enables you to view, filter, and search data for servers and workstations. After you search and filter to display the device lists you need, you can export the data to Microsoft Excel or view the devices pre-filtered in the All Devices view.
Disk Encryption Manager	Volume level disk encryption through Managed Antivirus Bitdefender protects your customers' data due to theft or accidental loss, by rendering information on hard drives unreadable to unauthorized users.
Endpoint Detection and Response (Integrated)	Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for Windows is an integrated threat management software from SentinelOne. Enabling devices to self-defend and heal themselves by stopping processes, quarantine, fix, and roll back events to keep devices protected. (Login required to view the documentation.)
Ecoverse: Asset tagging	Asset tagging lets you label and organize assets so you can quickly identify, group, and manage them. Use tags to improve workflows and gain operational insights.
Ecoverse: Assets view	The Assets view lets you monitor assets using filters, searches, and actions. Use it to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies and uncover opportunities, risks, and areas for improvement. The view is designed primarily for help desk technicians but is available to anyone who needs to manage or search for assets and devices.
Ecoverse: Common Audit Log	The Common Audit Log provides a central view of audit activity across supported N-able products and platform services. Use it to investigate administrative actions, identify changes to managed resources, review user activity, and collect evidence for security and compliance reviews.
Ecoverse: Endpoint Remediation	Endpoint Remediation brings together Vulnerability Management, Patch Management, and software inventory. It provides an end-to-end workflow that goes beyond traditional patching. use it to manage software inventory, vulnerabilities, and remediation from a central dashboard.
Ecoverse: Policy-based services configuration	Policies define configuration rules that apply consistently to groups of devices. Instead of configuring each asset individually, define rules and associate them with one or more tags. N-sight then applies the settings to all assets with those tags.
Ecoverse: Script management	Script Management helps you manage scripts and review their results across your environment. Use it to organize and maintain the scripts for management tasks.
Integrated Take Control	Connect securely, directly from the All Devices view, to monitored Windows servers or workstations, or Mac workstations. Use Take Control Fast Assist to create attended remote access sessions to unmonitored devices.
Managed Antivirus	Provides best-in-class protection against Malware and viruses with excellent performance in minimizing false positives and low system overhead to deliver robust, reliable protection with the lowest possible management effort.
Monitoring templates	Monitoring templates ensure every device is configured to match your specific Check and Automated Task requirements, which reduces setup time and ensures a configuration consistency across devices. Also use templates to update Check and Automated Task configuration on existing devices.
Network Device Monitoring	Through Network Device Monitoring you can run Checks against SNMP enabled devices attached to the selected network (including routers, switches, firewalls and printers) that do not support a Monitoring Agent or App.
Network Discovery	Provides complete visibility of all devices attached to the selected network, including when they were first and last seen along with the ability to push install the Windows Agent directly from the All Devices view.

Risk Intelligence	Quickly and easily perform ongoing risk assessments in IT environments through PCI DSS, Data Breach and Security Scans. Calculate the real-time risk of a data breach and assigning a monetary value to it.
Take Control Fast Assist	Create attended remote access sessions to unmonitored devices when you have both an N-sight account and a standalone Take Control account. This means you can start sessions for devices not on your N-sight RMM All Devices view and that do not have an N-sight RMM agent installed.
User Chat	Connect with customers directly using a two-way chat, without having to start an active remote-control session.
Wall Chart	An at-a-glance overview of any server or workstation problems reported by N-sight using visual and audio indicators to highlight when a problem is detected.
