Find out what your peers are saying about NinjaOne, Kaseya, TeamViewer and others in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM)."We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"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."
"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."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"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."
"A good automated scripts feature."
"ServiceNow is great. You can download the data into Excel and you can basically create reports. It's very flexible."
"If it is a high priority, they will respond very quickly. If it is a low priority issue, it might take some time, some three or four days. I would rate the technical support as a 10 out of 10."
"I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."
"In the Service Portal, the widget concept - and the way we have developed our widget - is pretty simple. We can leverage a lot on top of it."
"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."
"Technical support was helpful."
"The menu doesn't always load properly."
"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."
"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."
"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"Their support needs to be better."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time."
"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."
"It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."
