Featured Review
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.""It is very scalable.""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 initial setup is easy and the deployment is quick.""Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment.""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 implementation is nice and easy."

More ConnectWise Automate Pros →

"The solution has great workflow and server modules.""It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues.""It gives you remote control and has a mobile app.""We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click.""The setup is simple."

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

More ConnectWise Automate Cons →

"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer.""GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls.""There are some bugs or glitches.""It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop.""They have good technical support but it's not excellent."

More Pulseway Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing and licensing are reasonable."
  • "From what I've overheard, it is pretty comparable to other solutions in terms of price."
  • "I believe Automate is available for around $2."
