That architectural choice is what makes the rest of the platform work, particularly its agentic AI. Monica AI, SuperOps' intelligence layer, was designed alongside the platform from day one. It triages tickets, surfaces patch and CVE risks, drafts worklogs, suggests knowledge base articles, and increasingly handles fully autonomous workflows for routine work. SuperOps supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, iPadOS and Android, integrates with the IT and MSP ecosystem (Slack, Teams, Azure AD, Okta, QuickBooks, Xero, Bitdefender, SentinelOne and more), and bundles Splashtop and ISL Online remote access free.

	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros It was easy to use. It has an local agent so you can monitor local networks. It can check for Quantum readiness. The Network Monitor Assistant was really helpful it found a vulnerability on my nginx that I thought was up to date and secure. But it was not. Provides weekly reports Cons Interface looks a bit dated. Could do with more info on the site on its features and how to use them.
