    Overall: This is an excellent technology that enables us to monitor the security of the system and to back the assets remotely. Overall, using ConnectWise Automate we had a great experience. It enables us to remove system failures as well.

    "Fantastic RMM if you take time to get it setup properly"

    Posted 2021-02-26

    Pros: It's got everything we need to manage our customer endpoints - patching CAN work (eventually when it's setup properly), scripting is powerful, Control for connecting to devices is the best!

    Cons: Just like most RMM tools, it's a bear to get configured and working right. Support can be lacking, but community support can fill some gaps. Most CW products are expensive.

    Overall: Our team has been using this for 6+ years and it's taken this long to get it working as best as possible, so keep in mind the cost and time it takes to get it configured properly. Once it's configured, it does a great job at Windows patching, pushing scripts, and we love CW Control for connecting to computers.

    "Automate and Listen! "

    Posted 2021-02-25

    Pros: Takes care of updates, the support team is great, plus the technical documentation is great to use.Desktop sharing, End-user ticket raising are built into the tray icon which makes access really easy for users to create one.

    Cons: Has a big learning curve just starting out. Due to its many features, it seems some areas are a bit difficult to configure. Inside all the greatness, there are some works around that you have to do for specific duties that could be automated.

    Overall: If you are looking for a one-stop-shop, then Automate, Control, and Sell are a great way to go. Our team has loved using their products.

    "ConnectWise Automate"

    Posted 2020-10-17

    Pros: I like how with ConnectWise. Has a security module that allows users to manage antivirus, anti-malware, email protection, encryption, and passwords from a single solution. It's really cool.

    Cons: Ticketing is a challenge. It is included, but isn't a very customer friendly to work in. Technic support is a pain to contact and they don't consider support purposes an emergency.

    Overall: Overall I use all the ConnectWise applications and they integrate well. I like the use of ticketing but unless you have to use support be ready to wait.

    "Will help you sleep better at night"

    Posted 2020-08-14

    Pros: - ConnectWise charges by the device instead of by the user, this helps it scale very well on really large networks without the bills exploding.
    - ConnectWise tracks everything in the remote deployment system. It immediately sends out alerts in the case of downtimes or breakdowns. These are very good features.

    Cons: - Customer support can be a bit slow to respond sometimes.

    Overall: ConnectWise Automate is so good as remote monitoring and management software that it really adds to your peace of mind as a managed services provider. It has more features than you will bother to use and is the best solution at the price point.
