Action1 is cloud-native patch management. Senserva is the independent patch double-check and the Microsoft 365 posture layer.
Action1 is a cloud-native patch management and endpoint platform, known for fast deployment of OS and third-party patches. It deploys patches well. Senserva complements it: an independent verification of patch coverage across Microsoft's APIs and your tools, plus deep Microsoft 365 configuration posture and compliance.
Demo and Game Mode run free, no registration, no access to your tenant. Windows and Mac.

Senserva runs standalone for full Microsoft 365 posture across configurations, logs, and CVEs, or right alongside Action1.
Action1 keeps endpoints running and patched. Senserva sits beside it as the independent read on Microsoft patch state: it reads Intune, Defender for Endpoint TVM, and Azure Update Manager through Microsoft’s own APIs, then ranks missing patches by real-world exploitation, not just severity.
| What Action1 does well | Where teams want more |
|---|---|
| Cloud-native OS and third-party patch management. | A patch deployment tool reports its own actions, not independent verification. |
| Fast deployment and real-time visibility. | Microsoft 365 / Entra ID / Intune / Purview posture is out of scope. |
| Endpoint automation and remote actions. | No native Microsoft compliance mapping. |
| Accessible model for lean teams. | Coverage gaps appear when multiple patch tools are in play. |
| Capability | Action1 | Senserva |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud patch deployment | Core strength | Does not deploy |
| Independent patch verification | Self-reported | Cross-tool double-check |
| M365 configuration posture | No | 650+ checks |
| Compliance evidence | Limited | Mapped |

Senserva builds a complete, structured Microsoft 365 security dataset, configuration, identity, devices, logs, CVEs, and compliance mappings, as one connected graph, and opens all of it to the AI of your choice through the Claude MCP and the Senserva SDK. Bring your own model, there is no AI markup. Point Claude, or any AI you run, at the whole dataset and it can audit, threat-hunt, explain, and remediate from your real findings, not a vendor summary.
That is the part most tools do not give you. Many have no AI at all, or a closed built-in assistant you cannot point at your own model, or they keep their findings in a dashboard you cannot query. Where a tool does expose its data to your AI, Senserva runs right alongside it and adds the rest of the Microsoft 365 picture. Either way, the data stays with you, nothing is locked in a vendor cloud.
Action1 is a cloud-based patch management and remote endpoint management platform aimed at keeping operating systems and third-party applications current without on-prem infrastructure. It uses a lightweight agent reporting to a cloud console, so it works equally well for remote and roaming devices.
Action1 patches Windows and a catalog of common third-party applications, with automated policies, rings, and reboot controls. Its appeal is simplicity and fast time-to-value for teams that want patching handled without standing up servers.
The platform inventories installed software and missing updates and reports patch compliance, giving IT a clear view of which endpoints are behind. That reporting reflects Action1's own deployments and the agents it manages.
As with any single tool, an independent cross-check, confirming patches on the device through Microsoft's APIs and ranking remaining gaps by real CVE risk, adds assurance across whatever else is in the environment.
Action1 deploys patches; Senserva independently verifies coverage and produces the unified, compliance-ready report, and covers Microsoft 365 posture Action1 does not.
No agents and no cloud service. Senserva reads your tenant through Microsoft's APIs and runs on Windows or Mac. You can explore the whole product first on the free Advanced Microsoft 365 Security Simulator, with no access to your environment at all.
Yes. The Advanced Microsoft 365 Security Simulator and the game let you explore a full scan, the findings, the AI, and the reports for free. Scanning your own tenant takes a free registration, which unlocks 2 tenants with up to 25 users each, and education institution and nonprofit discounts are available.
Yes. It supports multi-tenant and MSP fleets, with bulk tenant security audits and unified, client-ready reporting across many customers.
Senserva is built for AI from the ground up and also runs fully without it. Turn it on for AI-enhanced reports and to run the product from Claude, or the AI of your choice, via our market-leading MCP. You bring your own model, so there is no AI markup, and the rich data model keeps calls and cost low.
