Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Maybe they could improve the capability to be multi-tenant.""Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment.""It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera.""It's a very good IT tool for a company that provides IT services. It is very helpful for technicians to work with the tool to see all of the customers in one place and then manage all of the computers in one place.""It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing.""It is very scalable.""We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate.""A good automated scripts feature."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."

Cons
"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived.""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.""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.""The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved.""Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple.""The wait time for a support ticket to be addressed needs to be reduced. They take a couple of days to get back. It is a little frustrating when we have to wait for a couple of days. A lot of times, the issue is critical for us. If we're reaching out to their support team and submitting a ticket, it is because we need it handled quickly.""Patching and reporting need improvements, especially reporting. The reporting engine is quite outdated, so you end up having to use your own dashboard.""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."

More ConnectWise Automate Cons →

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""They could improve the UI.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""The solution lacks mobility."
