ConnectWise Automate Is our Number One Tool

What differentiates ConnectWise Automate from other similar products?

Connectwise Automate is able to offer way more features for a better price per agent. You can have different setups of the configuration, such as on premise environment or services as a service in the cloud. They have been around for a long time and their longevity is a great comfort.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to script tasks that would otherwise take much longer to try and push. They have a great scripting schedule and are able to have third party apps now. The patching has made us much more secure and effective at keeping the agents protected.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The updates do not seem to be released to often and we were hoping they would update the on-premise interface. Engineers have a hard time learning and then using all the features of automate. The cases from support have gotten stagnate at times and we have had to push them to get a resolution.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Learn the best configuration settings before going live. Test with different setups if you can and see if they are producing what you are trying to achieve. Work with the connectwise support staff and take the courses in the university to get up to speed on using the product. Have your engineers pass some of the courses before you let them administrate it.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate

Efficient remote management and monitoring tool

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates ConnectWise Automate from other similar products?

It provides a shitload of capabilities to support system monitoring and upkeep. It's never been simpler to keep them informed, and it's really practical to be inclined to distance in and help folks anywhere they are. We really like the ticketing part of it. It enables us to run reports as needed to compare how much time certain technicians are spending with certain clients.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has good capabilities. When a customer calls, we truly like how quickly we can connect. It is quite promising. The notifications are very helpful and provide a clear record of a device's activities. Also, an alert is an exclusive occurrence or is it recurring and needs some preventative action to maintain my clients' systems operating at peak performance.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We have discovered that a small number of customers were incapable to access the agent, which is a drawback of connecting smart. We don't understand why. Additionally, connection-wise has experienced two outages in the previous few months, resulting in extended periods of downtime during which we were unable to assist clients, and connect-wise automation malfunctioned, preventing us from conducting remote sessions.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The capabilities that Connectwise Automate gives are absolutely great. It is really good to be able to instantly patch hosts and endpoint equipment. The program's disclosure and data volume are absurdly large. I've been fortunate to showcase a majority of this data using PowerBI to demonstrate to our customers exactly how far we understand.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Effective Service

A robust approach for remote monitoring

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates ConnectWise Automate from other similar products?

The package has features for remote PC administration and automated patching. It has displays built-in that give updates on the PCs. Automation makes it simple to administer computers in several settings at once as a maintained service vendor. To prevent the Computer from slipping to rest if users are connected, there is even a wake lock function.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I enjoy the built-in programs in automation and the option to create commands to assist with recurring device upkeep. Routine maintenance can be and has been sped up by doing this. Can control, script, set up alerts, and do updates, patches, installations, and blocking all from a single location.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The RMM framework is very crucial, therefore users need a firm that is working to expand the business by providing excellent platform improvements and solutions that one can then provide to current and potential customers. Connectwise has only wanted to take as much money as possible from us and has no interest in doing business with us.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The strength of this technology is its finest feature. You get authority and "WSUS" as elements of the bundle when we buy this package. The initiative is a superb robotic and remote access solution since it gathers data from each machine, has reported, offers some integration, and has all these features.

Pros

  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity
  • Trustworthy
  • Respectful
