Amazing Automation and Patch Management

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates ConnectWise Automate from other similar products?

Connectwise is the top dog for MSPs and Automate is well known by a lot. I personally love the UI, probably because I've known it forever now

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Creating automation scripts and patch management. There is so much it does

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes it can be a bit clunky and take awhile for things to load. I really don't like that the fat client(installed app) and the web version don't have the same features. For instance, in the web UI version they have a new AI tool to create scripting which is awesome but you can't utilize it in the fat client and the web UI doesn't have the ability to retire agents and some other things that the fat client has. I pretty much live in the fat client because it has more available.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I don't have any references to pricing myself but I hear it's expensive but I know if you can afford it that CW Automate is amazing. Their support has been pretty bad over the years though so I primarily rely on MSP Geek chats in discord/slack. If you are going to use Automate you must join that so others using it will be able to help you out.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features
  • Respectful

Cons

  • Wastes Time
  • Vendor Friendly Policies
