ConnectWise Automate

Connectwise Automate

Kommentare: We are using Connectwise Automate for taking care of customers on a managed service contract.

Vorteile:

There are many, many features in Connectwise Automate that will help you help your customers with their computer needs.

Nachteile:

Although the software is very feature rich, it seems very cumbersome and not easy to use from day one. In almost every step, we have had to take classes to figure out how to do things.

If you have the money to spend, spend it.. if not.. there is other options`

Kommentare: Overall, I am very happy with Connectwise Automate and would continue to use the product. If you work in a critical industry, I wouldn't recommend this as being your only source of remote access since support is very slow and very unhelpful in most situations.

Vorteile:

The best part of this software is how robust the software is. When you purchase this software, you receive control and "WSUS" as part of your package. The software contains reports, pulls data on each computer, provides some integration and overall is a great automation and remote access tool.

Nachteile:

Support is very slow to respond. Getting credits for downtime on their hosted web server is like pulling teeth. When you get into the chat queue, you may be waiting an hour or more for someone overseas who doesn't know how to fix the issue anyway. Then you have to wait until someone gets back with you when they "open a ticket." Honestly.... the only reason I WOULDN'T buy this software is their support system lacks ability for true support!

ConnectWise Automate is great for remote monitoring and management of IT systems.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to automate tasks and manage devices remotely.

Nachteile:

However, the interface can be overwhelming and takes time to get used to.

Powerful but inexpensive IT service and control platform.

Kommentare: It's been positive. It is essential for supporting remote workes and in the times that are in it it's gotten more important. There is good functionality around software installs and we actually use it to build up our SOE when we have new machines. Ot deosnlt do anything other similar systems can;t do but it is very fit for purpose for a small IT team.

Vorteile:

There is a lot that it can do for a quite reasonable cost. IT is more suited for small or medium businesses as I don;t think it;s quite enterprise level but for control, scripting, monitoring and the like it is very good at what it does. It is also cloud based so can be accessed on any device with a browser.

Nachteile:

It is not very good at monitoring. I can easily find out if computers have issues by selecting them but not really being notified that there may be a probelm. Scripting works well when it works but it's difficult to figure out if it's not worked and why.

Great tool for an MSP

Kommentare: We have been able to become much more efficient and organize our work much better.

Vorteile:

Allows for management of a wide view of devices across a variety of ecosystems. Easy to use and get up and running. Partner community is great.

Nachteile:

Support leaves a lot to be desired. When can get in touch, takes several attempts to resolve issue.
