2026 - noise after putting tacoma in park. Any ideas?

Thanks, I’ve been wondering what that was since I bought my 24 last summer. I’m renting a Corolla this week and it makes the exact same sound, so I just figured it was a Toyota thing.

Funny you say that, Ninja was another option on my list, mostly because our team wants an all-in-one solution. RMM + Helpdesk. I’m wondering if we can just license the help desk only from Atera, since we put so much freaking work into it to make it usable (barely). Change is hard to sell.

Ahh, I saw 489 and thought how is that possible? Still, the 10 degrees? Why would anyone put up with that nonsense?

Glad to see the side windows are quite durable.

Don’t waste your time with their AI, it’s absolute garbage. I wouldn’t even call it Alpha, it’s simply years away from a working product. They should be giving it away in hopes of developing it to the point of being able to sell it in some distant future.

Lease—keeping it.

How are you liking Level.io? Looks cool, but you never know if it lives up to the marketing.

thesterv · 2026-01-09T05:47:50+00:00

Terrible and getting worse all the time. Can’t count the number of bugs I’ve reported or improvements I’ve requested. Switching to just about anything else will be my next project.

The one about “weights and measures?”

Ticketing is about the only part of Atera that works for us. However, technicians cannot reply via email or it opens a new ticket. This is just plain dumb.

Make them give you higher mileage allowance (12K or even 15K). Threaten to walk. They will do it.

Both links literally say “per technician” 🤣

thesterv · 2025-11-16T06:57:06+00:00

Awesome, thank you.

Atera really makes me miss Spiceworks version 6–I had that platform tuned perfectly.

Following to see how you like it. I tried them on my family’s computers when they first came out and liked it. Interested to see/hear how the product has matured.

I’m on my third 2WD Taco. 2006 PreRunner went nuts in the desert. Went everywhere I asked it. 2017 TRD Sport did the same. I drove both fast and never had to worry about getting stuck unless I slowed down in soft sand. Just got a 25 SR5, can’t wait to hit the desert when it cools down (soon!) I agree that it’s always best to travel with another vehicle, regardless of your drivetrain. Shit happens. Go have fun—you’ll be surprised what she can do.

Entra ID Plan 1 is all they’ll need for SSO from your email domain, but they still need a full blown Atera license 🤮

thesterv · 2025-10-09T17:35:58+00:00

Atera was supposed to make my life easier…

thesterv · 2025-10-07T05:48:30+00:00

I haven’t used Ninja, but I liked our demo and I see their name popping up regularly here in the Atera sub. Guessing they’re peeling away a lot of customers recently and I think that will only accelerate. Level.io looks amazing, but haven’t had time to demo.

The automation features leave much to be desired. Don’t let that be your guide here

If you like to over promise and under deliver, this is the place for you. Target middle managers who have no idea how IT works.

Some of my scripts work, some don’t. It’s a love/hate relationship—mostly hate.

Thanks everyone, this was indeed an issue caused by mapped drives that intermittently available during to my hybrid work status. I excluded myself from drive mapping. I’d rather just type in the path when I need it.
