My main use case for Nexthink is measuring the digital experience for the users in organizations, and it is also used to automate incident resolution.

A specific example of how I have used Nexthink to measure digital experience or automate incident resolution is that it shows a score calculated by measuring application-related experiences, system-related experiences, and individual perception of how the system is performing. All these measurements are processed to calculate a Digital Experience Score. Monitoring this score signifies how the digital experience is for the employees of the company. I create PowerShell scripts that run from Nexthink to resolve certain issues, which is done through analyzing existing tickets or issues where a known resolution can be automated using a script.

I have seen specific outcomes from using Nexthink such as saving almost 30% of time when automating tasks for the service desk, which reduces issue resolution time from 10 to 15 minutes manually to just one to two minutes with automation, providing significant time, effort, and cost savings.

The best features Nexthink offers in my experience include the Live Dashboards, which give real-time data or insights about my organization, the automations, and system and application health monitoring and network monitoring.

I find myself relying most on the Device View module in Nexthink because it gives granular level insights of the systems. It also includes a time scale so I can look back in time to see what kind of issues could lead to a bigger problem. It includes data such as applications running on the system, resource utilization such as RAM and CPU usage, and how the network bandwidth looks. These details allow me to analyze and figure out the root cause of incidents or find solutions for system-level performance.

I would also like to mention that Nexthink has an AI Assistant option, which is a very good feature that provides insights into existing issues, helps understand how the tool works, and guides me in creating queries.

My main use case for Nexthink is to resolve and analyze problems, identify devices, identify running applications, and much more.

A specific example of how I have used Nexthink to analyze problems and identify devices is when a system issue occurs on a user's system and a user has logged a complaint. I connect with the user, take their hostname, input it into Nexthink, and trigger Amplifier. Once Amplifier runs, it provides me with complete diagnostic results.

I use Nexthink daily to identify issues and determine the next course of action, primarily to resolve fixes including updates or configuration issues that can be resolved immediately.

The best features Nexthink offers include Amplifier, which provides a detailed view in the form of a report.

What I appreciate most about Amplifier or the detailed reports it provides is that it helps me see complete data and analysis reports from whatever Amplifier I am running or executing on the user system, and that gives me the results. This is the best feature I find very valuable.

Initially, resolution used to take more than two to three days, but after using Nexthink, it has been immensely reduced, and with an immediate click, it has helped resolve the issue in a single action. This is a very powerful transition that has occurred due to Nexthink.

Nexthink can be improved based on how we choose to take it forward upon the requirement, which does depend on the project and project complexity. If a project requires complex analysis, we need to program Nexthink accordingly.

An additional improvement I would like to suggest is that if we have more scope for analysis or in terms of running Amplifier that currently tells me only a few reports, I would like it to bring more reports and a more detailed view, which will help us analyze the next course of complex issues to be resolved.

I have been using Nexthink for more than six months.

Nexthink is stable in my experience.

Nexthink can scale up easily and handles growth well when my organization adds more users or devices.

The customer support is very good.

It was very easy for my team to learn and adopt Nexthink because it is very user-friendly.

I would like to add that the features have a continuous improvement aspect, so anything that we find needs to be added, we implement accordingly, conduct testing, and upon that, we bring that implementation into production.

Nexthink is helping to reduce the resolution time, which positively impacts us by receiving very good feedback from clients.

I believe Nexthink has strong security features, and it also depends on how the administrator has configured it to capture data. I think it is safe and secure, particularly since the organization is already secured in terms of implementing configurations.

I find the reporting and analytics capabilities in Nexthink not really detailed, but they provide what is actually required. They do not always meet our exact expectations, but they are vital enough.

The performance and speed of Nexthink when running analyses or reports are medium; it is not really fast, but it is fast enough compared to human interaction in resolving issues.

I would describe the user interface and overall user experience with Nexthink as friendly.

The level of documentation and resources available for Nexthink is satisfactory; I have gone through tutorials up to an intermediate level and am progressing toward the advanced level.

I will definitely recommend Nexthink to others looking into using it.

I mostly use Nexthink for analytics of IT tickets, which reduces the number of repeated tickets. We monitor which tickets are repeated and the issues occurring, giving priority to those issues.

For a customer who was receiving continuously one major and critical alarm that was causing service impact, Nexthink helped us monitor it and create separate monitoring for that customer, which helped us reduce the alarm and it no longer causes service impact to them.

Nexthink really reduces a huge amount of work through automation skills and automation steps, which saves considerable time. This is very useful in today's environment.

The best features Nexthink offers include the ability to integrate with ServiceNow or Salesforce to extract information, which is faster and enhances productivity. The faster extraction helps my daily work and my team because issues we have identified and resolved would be very difficult to find manually. When using a tool, it reduces that work to very few minutes, allowing us to find repeating issues.

Nexthink has impacted my organization positively, mainly in reducing repeated tickets. We can monitor and document a huge number of tickets, thousands of them, which is a positive aspect from Nexthink.

Nexthink can be improved. It is already an excellent tool with many features and is the best tool in the ITSM field.

If you add more AI features to Nexthink, particularly automation for resolving tickets, it would be helpful because AI is everywhere now. Some additional features in Nexthink that would improve the product would be beneficial.

Nexthink was a better option that I used to work on, and I did not depend on other options.

Nexthink is stable.

When I increase the work that can be done, it would be slow and not accurate.

Nexthink's customer support is good.

We have not used any different solution before Nexthink in my organization.

I have seen a return on investment. Time has been saved and work has been reduced.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it seems a bit costly, but effective.

For a particular customer, the numbers show that more than 1,000 tickets were coming a month, which are now reduced to hundreds; this has saved my team considerable time and effort.

Since we are using Nexthink, we are not fully depending on it; sometimes we need manual intervention to check further, so I rate it as a 9 out of 10.

I would advise others looking to use Nexthink to proceed with Nexthink without considering other options.

My main use case for Nexthink is using Windows Hello for Business, which helps our users receive the Windows Hello notification on their system so that they can set up their PIN.

A specific example of how I use Nexthink with Windows Hello for Business is through a campaign that runs on users' systems and lets them know they need to set up a PIN to log in easily during their daily login.

Nexthink has positively impacted my organization by helping our service desk in many different ways. We used to receive numerous calls, but now, since we have the API and self-troubleshooting available in the catalog or portal, users can address common issues with Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Outlook, which reduces customer contact for our organization.

We used to receive around 22,000 customer contacts in a month last year, which has reduced to 14,000 in a month currently.

The best features that Nexthink offers are the campaign and the workflow within our environment, which helps users easily replace their systems and self-troubleshoot without reaching out to any IT service desk.

The campaign and workflow features help users self-troubleshoot by reminding them when they are using a retired machine and informing them that the life cycle of this machine has expired, allowing them to either continue using it for the next month or raise a request for a replacement machine, which benefits both the user and the company in complying with asset data.

I appreciate the ability to check their life cycle date via Nexthink on a monthly basis, as we roll out some kind of campaign for them.

Nexthink is solid, but I see that the upcoming updates include Spark, which will help our company easily gather data regarding user responses to our campaigns.

I have been using Nexthink for more than one and a half years.

Nexthink is stable in my experience.

Nexthink's scalability is good.

The customer support is very easy to contact, and they respond instantly whenever we have issues with remote actions or workflows.

We did not use any solution before Nexthink; this is the first time we are using it.

I am not really aware of the pricing, but I can say that it is very easy to set up the extension in our browser, allowing us to troubleshoot from there.

Nexthink has helped with license reclamation use cases, where many software applications are already installed on user machines that our vendor pays for, and rolling out the campaign has allowed us to identify unnecessary software and remove those licenses, saving costs.

Prior to choosing Nexthink, we evaluated SysTrack, but it did not help in service desk operations, which is why we moved to Nexthink.

I would advise others looking into using Nexthink to create use cases as much as possible, as this helps the vendor improve their business operations and run smoothly.

I give this product a rating of 10 out of 10.

Nexthink is used for DEX score analysis, vulnerability remediation, and device performance monitoring. The primary use case is improving DEX scores.

Nexthink completely scans devices and their performance, providing reports in the Nexthink portal that allow us to identify issues before customers report them. Based on identified issues, we can push remediation through Nexthink to resolve problems before clients notice or raise tickets. For vulnerabilities, we can also push remediation scripts or actions through Nexthink.

The tool is very fast, providing live updates to the Nexthink portal within seconds, which helps our company significantly.

The best feature is that it helps us improve DEX scores, which is our major focus, along with vulnerability remediation. For both cases, we push remote actions based on reports from Nexthink, allowing us to remediate vulnerabilities and improve DEX scores very quickly.

DEX scoring is the feature I rely on most day-to-day, as it is a unique and advanced feature in Nexthink.

The dashboard feature in Nexthink is also very good, allowing us to customize it based on our requirements through NQL scripts.

The NQL script and default templates for creating remote actions are quite complex and require time to adapt. It would be better if Nexthink provided more graphical user interface options, as the tool is mostly based on NQL queries and PowerShell scripts.

Nexthink has been in use for the last two years.

Nexthink is stable.

Nexthink can definitely scale up based on user or device improvements, and we are not facing any challenges.

For customer support, we have a dedicated engineer from Nexthink who is helping us significantly, making support very good.

We have not used any other solution for improving DEX scores; Nexthink is the first tool. We tried using a device analytics feature in InTune, but we found Nexthink to be more powerful, so we chose Nexthink.

Nexthink helps us improve DEX scores and end-user performance experience on devices, providing strong return on investment.

The price is somewhat high, but it is flexible based on requirements and is worth the cost.

Nexthink is a powerful tool capable of remediating issues within a short period. When compared to InTune, the time to remediate through Nexthink is very short because its communication is through the agent, making it a better tool. Nexthink is a better option if you want to improve end-user device experience. I rate this review an 8 out of 10.

Nexthink served as an enhanced version of disk cleanup for our organization. Earlier, disk cleanup used to clear only the recycle bin and temp files, whereas we moved the files to OneDrive. Any file on the device that is beyond a certain size is moved to a OneDrive folder, creating the file with the same name and logo. On the user's machine, it creates a 2KB shortcut with the same name and logo, so whenever the end user clicks on that file to open it, they are redirected directly to OneDrive. We saved a lot of disk space, clearing up more than 90 terabytes of free disk space.

The out-of-the-box remote action from Nexthink, which is disk cleanup or system cleanup, did not make those drastic changes. We came up with an idea since just clearing the recycle bin and temp files would not work. The temp folder restores data as soon as we delete everything and the browser refreshes, so we needed a permanent solution and thought that if disk space is being used, we should save the files on OneDrive rather than keeping them on the device itself. The challenges we faced during the implementation included the device having to be online and connected to the internet to sync with OneDrive. If the files are not syncing, we face a problem, and if the device is offline during transfer, the process can get corrupted or fail.

Nexthink has been helpful in many scenarios, such as when a web application is not performing well in a certain location. We can configure the application to capture the data and go through the performance, see the network reliability, and based on that, we can sort out the data using live dashboards, identifying the root cause. For example, there were almost 1,500 devices in our environment using WhatsApp, which is unauthorized software. We created a custom script, got approval from the customer, and deployed a campaign to all the users.

Nexthink offers many features, with the best being Flow, which encompasses almost everything. We have Nexthink Workspace and Spark, allowing integration with Teams so users can find solutions without going to the service desk, rectifying issues in chat. Nexthink Infinity has brought a lot of benefits to us.

There has been a very good change from integration. Integrating ServiceNow with Nexthink automates problem ticket and incident generation, enabling the team to proactively know the kinds of problem statements we are receiving. For the integration with Teams, we have not completed it yet, but we are in the planning phase, and once done, we will observe the results.

Nexthink has the capability of integrating with most third-party applications, which is a great feature.

With the remediation actions we have in Nexthink, it has provided great self-heal capabilities along with proactiveness. By looking at the dashboards and identifying problem statements, we can share this information with the end-user computing teams to fix issues. Nexthink has significantly helped us enhance our DEX score from 74 to 80.

When I talk about features that led to the improvement of our score from 74 to 80, there were earlier issues with device performance and reliability not being addressed. Noting these, we identified devices lacking free disk space and low RAM capacity contributing to high memory usage or excessive CPU usage. Disabling unnecessary startup applications brought us to a new DEX score of almost 80.

Nexthink still lags in several areas. Firstly, in software metering, where it focuses on the configured application rather than understanding the users utilizing the licenses. Not everyone clicking on an executable file is a licensed user, and we need effectiveness in identifying the exact user with the license based on usage. Secondly, Nexthink lags in identifying network problems such as latency, and these are features I wish to see improved in upcoming releases.

I have been using Nexthink for almost six years.

Nexthink is stable, though not 100 percent, but mostly it is stable.

Nexthink's scalability is pretty high. We can scale it significantly, not just for creating and updating incidents in ServiceNow but many more applications can be integrated, and it can fetch data and convert it into manageable dashboards.

Customer support for Nexthink is a pain point due to unclear SLAs and requests for logs that are not needed. We have checked things from our end, but sometimes simple solutions are made overly complex.

Overall, my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate. Nexthink requires a license for almost everything, with different licenses for collaboration, Flow, Experience Central, and Application Experience, leading to licensing problems. However, the overall experience with setup cost and pricing has not been that high.

We have seen a return on investment based on issues resolved by using Repair OneDrive, clearing Outlook OST problems, and clearing Teams cache, showing man-hour savings. Considering 25 dollars for every saved hour, we have saved a significant amount. Consequently, manpower can also be reduced since AI is taking care of tasks, with Spark and everything coming into the picture, making Nexthink very useful.

Overall, my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was adequate. Nexthink requires a license for almost everything, with different licenses for collaboration, Flow, Experience Central, and Application Experience, leading to licensing problems. However, the overall experience with setup cost and pricing has not been that high.

Before choosing Nexthink, we evaluated other options such as Systrack, ControlUp, 1E Tachyon, and Aternity. After examining these options and the Gartner reports to determine industry leaders in digital employee experience, we finalized on Nexthink.

Nexthink is deployed in our organization on a public cloud, and we use Azure as our cloud provider. Nexthink is a great tool for device analytics, providing complete insight into devices and great solutions with many integrations that simplify work. However, it is essential to have a licensing tool alongside it, such as Microsoft Office 365 or Flexera, to monitor license usage. I would rate Nexthink an 8 out of 10 because there are many pros in Nexthink, but a couple of cons as well, so I have deducted two points.

I use Nexthink for monitoring security incidents or traffic in my network and the user's behavior, the software installed on the devices, and all security related events or types of events.

I use Nexthink to track the user's behavior or the traffic when they try to access a malicious website or try to bypass the proxy, or when they try to open a website that is malicious or prohibited by our organization. I also use it when they try to install software that is not allowed in our network or try to gain admin access on their machines.

Nexthink has positively impacted our organization by giving us more control over the users, more understanding of any live actions, and more visibility to our network. Beyond the other products, it provided us with add-on features.

Nexthink has helped us save time in the analysis of what is happening. Whenever I see a specific user or any malicious activity within the network, it gives me real-time assistance.

The best features Nexthink offers, in my opinion, are the traffic and user behavior of the internal network with the interaction with the outside network. That is mainly from my perspective the most useful thing that Nexthink adds.

The traffic behavior feature in Nexthink gives a deeper understanding of traffic analysis. Similar to Wireshark, it captures packets, but Nexthink gives me an overview of the whole traffic from the user to the end in the outside network. It gives me a deeper understanding of the behavior and the analysis of the users.

Nexthink has positively impacted our organization by giving us more control over the users, more understanding of any live actions, and more visibility to our network. Beyond the other products, it provided us with add-on features.

I would appreciate the ability to integrate Nexthink with other products that I work with, such as Google SecOps and SOC products in general. It would be useful to integrate in this manner.

Integrating Nexthink with other security monitoring tools such as SOC tools, QRadar, Google SecOps, Splunk, and LogRhythm would be beneficial. That would be particularly helpful in my field specifically because I work as a security operations or SOC consultant, and it would help me greatly.

I started using Nexthink in 2019. It was purchased by a previous company, and I received a two-day full-day training on it, and since then I have been using it.

Nexthink is stable in my experience, and in sizing, whenever we need extra sizing, the support has helped us.

Nexthink's scalability can handle growth and changing needs easily.

Customer support for Nexthink is helpful and supportive, and they help us with any request.

Nexthink was my first experience with these types of products in this specific area.

Nexthink is deployed in our organization using a hybrid cloud.

We use GCP for our deployment of Nexthink.

I did not purchase Nexthink through the Google Cloud Marketplace; I obtained it from Nexthink itself, and they helped us to host it.

I obtained Nexthink from Nexthink itself, and they helped us to host it.

Nexthink helps us significantly with ROI, reports, and visibility to management.

I believe the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Nexthink are reasonable according to the current market prices.

Nexthink was my first experience with these types of products in this specific area.

I would rate Nexthink an eight out of ten because it is truly helpful, and not higher because it needs some improvement in the integration with our products that would benefit me in my work.

My advice to others looking into using Nexthink is to make a POC in the environment and see the return on investments at the beginning, and I am sure Nexthink will help them to choose it.

My main use case for Nexthink that we are currently working on is battery replacement and MS Office continuity.

For battery replacement with Nexthink, we check the battery cycles and based on the data we receive from remote action, we target those end users and they decide whether they have to replace the device or not.

For MS Office continuity, Nexthink helps us by having multiple applications associated with MS Office, and I will provide the example of OneDrive. In OneDrive, first of all, it checks the sync to determine whether the sync is working or not. If not, it initiates a restart. If that does not work, then we proceed with a reinstall and then sync again. If it is repaired, then it is resolved. If not, then a ticket is logged.

Nexthink has positively impacted my organization by reducing handle times, reducing ticket volumes, improving employee experience of software, workstation replacements, battery replacements, alerting users about password expiration, any upcoming changes, project changes, targeted campaigns, and more. There are multiple use cases that have benefited from this solution.

Regarding specific numbers, we have reduced around ten to fifteen percent of incoming volume via chats and calls overall, and apart from that, end users are able to help themselves using the chatbot, which accounts for around six percent.

The best features Nexthink offers, as of now, are Campaigns, Workflows which I find useful, and Remote Actions are also beneficial. Recently, we got hands-on with the virtualization module as well. I think all the modules are helpful, but it depends on the use case which we are working on.

Out of those features, I would say I find myself using Remote Actions the most or relying on it most heavily.

I think Nexthink should introduce longer character limits for remote session outputs and a better data repository to collect different files from end-user devices on a centralized storage. Apart from that, in workflow thinklets, there are some issues reported from time to time, so that needs to be addressed.

Customer support is one thing which needs to be improved; support team members are slow to respond, and they take a lot of time to get back to us, even if it is an urgent case. This is the thing which needs to be improved the most, and if the services are improved, then I would have probably given a ten.

I have been using Nexthink for around three and a half to four years.

Nexthink is stable. Everything is currently stable, and I have nothing to add on this matter.

Nexthink's scalability is sufficient; it is scalable enough for wider organizations. There are different towers that we can target with ample use cases in the library and custom ones.

Customer support is one thing which needs to be improved; support team members are slow to respond, and they take a lot of time to get back to us, even if it is an urgent case. This is the thing which needs to be improved the most, and if the services are improved, then I would have probably given a ten.

I have not used any other solution before Nexthink.

Before choosing Nexthink, I did not evaluate other options.

I have seen a return on investment with Nexthink. As I mentioned earlier, we have reduced volume, so that impacted the headcount and relates to money savings.

I have not used any other solution before Nexthink. Before choosing Nexthink, I did not evaluate other options.

To others looking into using Nexthink, I would suggest implementing Nexthink solution in the environment, assess where your environment is, and align use cases as per your requirements. Then you would definitely see an improvement if you are on the right track. My overall rating for this product is eight out of ten.

Main use cases have been campaigns and remote executions, either scheduled or manual, and Nexthink Query Language.

The best features Nexthink offers are the DEX scores and the ability to walk through an application that is on a browser.

The DEX scores help because they give an overview of how well an organization is doing across the industry compared to other organizations.

It helps to see what users are experiencing before they call the service desk.

In the past, when there have been issues that were global, it was easier to tell all users what the impact was and advise them not to call the service desk while we were working on the issue remotely.

The biggest limitation in features is the limited amount of metrics collected to use for Nexthink queries and investigations.

Nexthink can be improved by allowing collection of more metrics. For example, if there is the Print Spooler remote action, it would be helpful if the metric for the print queue was available when doing an NQL query to decide whether or not to run a remote action on a regular basis. Some of the metrics being collected are good, but they seem limited and are not as useful when running queries to decide whether or not to run a remote action.

There is a lot of improvement that can be made on the documentation side, the licensing side, and some of the backend side, including collection of metrics, ease of use to set up workflows, and more documentation on how to build custom remote actions.

I have been using Nexthink for around three and a half years.

There are no stability issues.

There are no scalability issues.

There are no customer service issues.

When Nexthink is implemented in a company, it should not be sold as just an IT tool. The people who support the applications need to be involved more. The tool can be adopted quicker and brought more broadly if the support groups of the applications are involved when it is purchased.

One of the biggest pieces of advice would be to purchase all the licensing needed to get the full functionality of the product. I would rate this review as a nine.
