Does Atera have built-in client reporting?
Preset reports for hardware, ticketing, patches, and technician overview. Custom analytics (Explore) only on Power tier and above. This template complements Atera's built-in reporting by providing a professional, client-ready format that non-technical stakeholders can easily understand.

This template handles the presentation layer — you provide the data. Atera also offers REST API with Swagger V3 documentation. X-API-KEY auth, 700 requests/minute limit.
How long should a QBR meeting take?
Plan for 60-90 minutes. Structure it as 20 minutes review, 30 minutes strategy discussion, and 20 minutes action planning. Leave buffer for questions.
Who should attend the QBR?
From the client side: the decision-maker (CEO/CFO) and IT contact. From your side: account manager and a technical lead who knows the environment.
What if the client doesn't want to do QBRs?
Start small — offer a brief 30-minute review. Once they see the value, they'll want the full session. Position it as protecting their investment, not a sales meeting.
How do I handle bad quarters in a QBR?
Be transparent. Acknowledge issues, explain root causes, and present your remediation plan. Clients respect honesty far more than spin.
