Facilitates valuable patch cycles, but the web client is not very intuitive and needs updating, and the scripting has room for improvement
The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive. It could use some updating and some thought around the UX. Also, with the scripting, I would like to see something where it could have third-party scripts already pre-built, and all you have to do is say, "Hey, I need this," and go load it. It's not as automated as I'd like it to be.
ShaheenKapery - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved our IT efficiency and problem resolution capabilities but MDM integration needs improvement
A lot of it is the ability to tell me what the problem is, even if it's a hardware or software error. The diagnosis is really nice, and it's enough for my technician to arrive with the right parts to fix it the first time. We don't need that extra truck roll. The fact that it can tell us which part to take with us, the most likely part that we need to replace, is a huge benefit. From an internal IT perspective, the integrations are really easy. Most of them can be done by even a tier-one technician. It's very straightforward: you click where it tells you to click, you do what it tells you to do, and it works.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."
"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."
"A good automated scripts feature."
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"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 most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"It is very scalable."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"The stability is good. Our systems have been up for over two years without any stability issues."
 

Cons

"Patching and reporting need improvements, especially reporting. The reporting engine is quite outdated, so you end up having to use your own dashboard."
"The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"Technical support was helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"I would like to see MDM integration improved."
 

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 pay $85 a month per user for a ConnectWise package that contains multiple solutions."
"I believe Automate is available for around $2."
"Pricing is okay and negotiable."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
