Find out what your peers are saying about NinjaOne, Kaseya, TeamViewer and others in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM)."It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"Scripting and patch management are really important for us. Patch Manager is something that we use a lot, and we would love to have it continually improved. It is one of the most useful features for us for controlling patches and other things for different clients."
"The implementation is nice and easy."
"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."
"ConnectWise Automate's interface is pretty easy to use. It's pretty intuitive to get around and navigate it. It does what I need, which is usually connecting to the client and customers systems."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"Maybe they could improve the capability to be multi-tenant."
"The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle."
"It's very easy for anyone to work with."
"We're able to get real-timec as well as our customer networks that we're monitoring at all times."
"Analytics is the most valuable feature. The business service summaries in the dashboards and the correlations for the SIEM are also valuable features."
"Some of our customers who use this solution have seen improvement in their connection with load balancing on both connections."
"FortiSIEM's best features are the dashboards and customization."
"Its automated response feature has benefited our customer communication. Analysts feel more confident in providing timely responses."
"I like FortiSIEM because it integrates natively with our other Fortinet solutions and the Fortinet Fabric, but it also integrates with Cisco, Palo Alto and other security fabrics."
"Both the collecting logs and duo correlation are valuable features for us."
"The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved."
"In Patch Manager, there should be more reportability so that it is easier to see the updates that I have applied to a machine and when the next update will happen. A lot of times, it seems like all the information is kind of thrown all over the place, and you can't really see it all at the same time. There should be a simplified patch data view that allows us to quickly confirm that our various clients are getting patched as they should be."
"The menu doesn't always load properly."
"We would love to get feature updates and cumulative updates fixed. I know they aren't really supposed to be pushed with Patch Manager. We've got recommendations from ConnectWise to use the scripted feature update installs, scripted KB updates, etc. Having these in Patch Manager itself would be great."
"There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate."
"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"They always change the GUI to some dumb-down version of tiles which are more "user-friendly", but slows my team down in the end."
"The dashboards need to be improved. It gives you so much detail, but sometimes too much detail, especially to an executive, it's too much."
"I would like to see easier implementation in the future."
"Its training can be improved. Its price also needs to be improved."
"The stability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."
"There is no proper guide for integration or configuration."
"Does not have load-sharing or high-availability, and these are important things to implement. I can do the same things in another way, but not naturally having these features makes it complicated."
"Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."
