Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment.""A good automated scripts feature.""The implementation is nice and easy.""The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database.""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."

Cons
"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over.""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 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 project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved.""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.""The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive.""Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."
