Switching

Moving from N-able N-sight RMM

A calm move, not a big bang. Run both side by side until your team is happy.

How a gradual move to Tenvara works
  1. 1

    Import your customers, sites and contacts

    Import customers, sites and contacts from a CSV export, with a dry run first. Contact email addresses matter, as incoming mail is matched on them.

    Importing from CSV
  2. 2

    Point your support mailbox at Tenvara

    Connect the support mailbox so customer emails become tickets, with replies threaded back.

    Email to ticket and alert rules
  3. 3

    Deploy the agent alongside

    The one-line install command runs from any tool that can run a script, including N-sight, so you can roll Tenvara out to a whole customer at once.

    Installing the agent
  4. 4

    Recreate your policies

    Set monitoring checks, thresholds and patch policies at global, customer and device group level, and choose which alerts become tickets.

    Policies, checks and thresholds
  5. 5

    Run both side by side, then switch

    Compare alerts and patch results for a few weeks, then remove the N-sight agent customer by customer.
