We performed a comparison between ConnectWise Automate and LogMeIn Central based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"A good automated scripts feature."
"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."
"We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"The implementation is nice and easy."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"The alerts are helpful."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"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 The reporting engine is quite outdated, so you end up having to use your own dashboard."
"Technical support was helpful."
"This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved. But, it's something that we will have to work with to get to the point where we need this, we request it and they do their best to make it happen."
"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."
"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 menu doesn't always load properly."
"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."
"File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. "
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
