About

Action1 is an autonomous endpoint management platform trusted by many Fortune 500 companies. Cloud-native, infinitely scalable, highly secure, and configurable in 5 minutes—it just works and is always free for the first 200 endpoints, with no functional limits. By pioneering autonomous OS and third-party patching with peer-to-peer patch distribution and real-time vulnerability assessment without needing a VPN, it eliminates routine labor, preempts ransomware and security risks, and protects the digital employee experience. In 2025, Action1 was recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America. The company is founder-led by Alex Vovk and Mike Walters, American entrepreneurs who previously founded Netwrix, a multi-billion-dollar cybersecurity company.

About

Steward IT Census is self-hosted IT asset management and network inventory software for IT teams. It inventories computers, servers, printers, switches, phones and cameras and runs on a Windows or Linux server (or Docker) with a built-in database, keeping asset data on your network. Agentless WinRM, SSH and SNMP scanning covers the office; an optional agent covers laptops and remote sites. Every edition includes vulnerability management prioritizing CISA's actively exploited list, patch management and software deployment, about 470 compliance checks (DISA STIG, Microsoft baselines, NIST mSCP), an asset-linked help desk, a network map, certificate inventory with Let's Encrypt installation and renewal, Active Directory and Microsoft 365 inventory, 90+ reports, and a REST API. A free edition includes all features for up to 100 assets; larger inventories use a perpetual license at $1 per asset, paid once.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Cloud-based with no need for complex on-premises infrastructure. Smooth deployment and quick agent installation across devices. Real-time visibility into endpoints with detailed inventory and reporting. Patch management is automated and highly customizable. Remote access and script execution make troubleshooting effortless. Intuitive dashboard with an easy-to-navigate interface. Strong security compliance features (audit logs, alerting, RBAC). Excellent scalability for growing organizations.
  • The ease of deployment, and the ability to have different endpoint groups really makes administration so much easier.
  • Simple visibility of missing patches and vulnerabilities that need addressing Grouped into categories nicely with a "SLA" to prioritise The ability to deploy scripts remotely very easily
  • Free plan 200 endpoints Very fast deployment (≈1 minute per device) Intuitive and centralized interface with customizable reports Strong automation: scripts, data collection, update rings Scalable and fast patch management, great WSUS replacement Clear roadmap and frequent improvements
  • Easy to setup and get working. The critical vulnerabilities webinars are very helpful and give great insight into what needs to be patched etc.

Cons

  • Requires stable internet connectivity for optimal performance. Some advanced features may take time to configure for first-time users. Limited offline functionality compared to traditional on-prem tools.
  • I cant fault the platform for anything. the ease of use is simply superb!
  • The only real con was at initial signup - finding documentation to get started wasn't the most obvious. Saying that the software was simple enough to just dive in
  • Remote access is basic (no file transfer, chat, or reliable multi-monitor support) Requires manual effort for custom software packaging/updates Occasional issues with vendor driver detection Pricing increases steeply beyond 200 endpoints due to support requirements Some limitations exist, but can often be mitigated with workarounds or external tools
  • Great product so far, not noticed anything that can be marked as a con.
