What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

They seem to maintain a strategic distance from telephone discussions and direct correspondences at all expense. While I understand that they need to deal with a ton of calls, other programming organizations are a lot hotter and friendlier with regards to getting specialized help with a genuine human cooperation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise Automate:

This is a one stop look for MSPs. On the off chance that you are searching for a ticketing framework, that coordinates with the majority of your required divisions, for example, Accounts Receivable, Accounts payable, Shipping, Marketing, Sales, Administration, and that's just the beginning, this has highlights for every one of them. CW Manage support is superb and CW University offers an abundance of learning for their product and is amazingly elegantly composed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

I do not like how heavy the application is at the moment of opening it and that sometimes you have to close it and open it again in order to update it.

Consult when it is going to consult the state of a specific equipment and in the pop-up window that shows the information of said equipment it takes a considerable time to open, in the same way it happens when it is going to configure some monitor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a MSP, we need a tool that allow us to monitor and manage many endpoints simultaneously at a very efficient level because our customers needs to be focus in their core bussiness, and not in the maintenance of theirs desktops and laptops.

ConnectWise Automate (Formerly Labtech) give us that and more, gived us the solution for thats repetitive tasks that take forever.

The integration with CW Control (Fornerly ScreenConnect) and CW Manage is very nice and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

Its not a plug and play solution, you need to learn how to use it, and you need to learn a lot, the university give you some help, but still you need a connectwise consultant to implement it.

If you want to be a master administrator of this solution, you need the official courses, and are very expensives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise Automate:

This tool is not a one person administration, you will need a least two persons to deploy and mainten it.

Make all the personal that is going to use it, do the connectwise university course before it beging to use it, this will help to get a better understanding of CWA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It reduces the attention and resolution time of all incident reported by our customers, and this is because we can do many background tasks without the final user even notices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise Automate?

What I like about ConnectWise Automate in the first place is the amount of things that can be done with this tool, from monitoring equipment in a network, to monitoring the network itself to validate which computers are connected to it, its interface is friendly for users, you only need to deploy the agent on the computers you want to monitor, configure the monitors you want to track and ready, when the tool detects any abnormality with the configured monitors you will generate an alert so you can attack it at the moment, It is also impressive the integration it has with other tools such as connectwise automate and connectwise manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

As mentioned before is a very complete tool at least in my case there is not much I dislike about it, if it would be good to make it a little lighter since the time to enter the console is usually laguerse a little and sometimes to last a long time without using it stops updating and you have to close and open the application again, the rest works very well and lets you know in detail the status of each of the equipment that we are monitoring, such as if there is a service stopped, if there is any threat, if the antivirus is disabled or even if the computer lacks and requires some system update Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise Automate:

The recommendation for those who are considering the implementation of connectwise automate in their companies is that, if they do, they will not regret it and they will see how life is facilitated in terms of technical support and monitoring of their own and client's equipment and networks. It is worth mentioning that this application can be integrated perfectly with other tools such as connectwise automate and connectwise control, to implement these applications will have a combo of powerful tools and useful for any organization which will help facilitate and manage better form what is the technical support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?

At the enterprise level, ConnectWise Automate allows us to solve various problems such as unknown devices have accessed our network, allows us to classify the applications in blacklist or whitelist to avoid using undeclared applications within the company, verify the correct functioning of each of our teams, verify the logs on our servers to detect in this way if there is someone unauthorized who is trying to access our resources, among many other functions, connectwise automate is an extremely powerful tool which facilitates the work of support staff within any organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise Automate?

For the moment the monitors are very useful, the programmed commands that allow to perform daily tasks more easily. The audition is very useful and the available reports are also great. The integration with ConnectWise is very good and thanks to this the administration of the computers is done efficiently and optimally. It is a great RMM software. The customization of each element in Labtech is a great benefit, of course after having experimented a lot with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

The learning curve can be tilted for a single IT professional. The Labtech Support service is not the best possible and locating documentation of the software can be complicated. There are other small errors but it is understandable with the large number of functions that the Automate performs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise Automate:

Considerable time is required for the perfect management of the tool, this should be considered in case of implementing it in clients external to your company. It is important to take the training offered by Labtech for this product and try to maintain an effective communication with your staff for a correct configuration of the RMM. The most important thing is not to desist in the search and investigation of all its functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?

With CW Automate you are managing all the computers in the corporate network, with these tools we can generate the necessary scripts for routine tasks in an optimal way. In general, it is very good to manage servers and workstations, backups and its alert system is very timely in infrastructure management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it's integrated into CW Automate. It's very easy to set up and create different policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise Automate?

I dont like the small selection of apps that you can patch with it. It's limited to Adobe, Firefox, Chrome, Java, and a couple others. It's not very expensive, but Ninite has a much better selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise Automate:

It depends on what you need to patch. If you need just the basics, this is a great tool. If you need more than Adobe, Java, chrome ,etc, then other tools may suite your needs better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keep all of our clients up to date with all patches, especially security patches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
