Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera.""The initial setup is easy and the deployment is quick.""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.""Maybe they could improve the capability to be multi-tenant.""A good automated scripts feature.""The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle.""It is very scalable."

"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely.""The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company.""The installation is easy, it only took two minutes.""The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good.""It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently.""NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked.""It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it.""Good at managing updates and for remote support."

Cons
"Technical support was helpful.""Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple.""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.""Their support needs to be better.""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.""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.""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."

More ConnectWise Automate Cons →

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10.""The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory.""Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs.""The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues.""It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices.""I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands.""The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used.""The graphical user interface could be improved."
