ConnectWise RMM vs ManageEngine IT360 comparison

"The most valuable features are RMM and patch management. However, the main reason we have been using this solution is that they are the only provider of RMM that has an outsourced NOC and help desk. This has been very useful."

"The most valuable feature is the patching solution."

"It enables us to respond to issues quickly and efficiently."

"The user interface is the first valuable feature. The integration is the second valuable feature. The integration that you are doing with the products needs to be very certain. There shouldn't be any glitches. There are different software out there that will give you an option called scripting and ask you to do a hundred different things to set up a script for a particular customer. With Continuum, everything is done a single way. You just select the clients, script, and machine, and then you just go and deploy. The best part of Continuum is that it is not just a software company. It is a pure services company. It is an RMM software; it isn't used as a PSA. The software is just a part of the service offering. This is the difference between all other service providers out there and Continuum. Continuum is basically providing services. Continuum doesn't sell the software."

"The best features of ConnectWise RMM are the automation tools that they've included, which are quite good, enabling us to mass manage systems, schedule scripts, etc."

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."

"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."

"The technical support is good."

"If a computer hasn't been turned on for a long time and the client software is installed, it may not reconnect to the dashboard once it's powered up."

"They can include support for vaulting, where you can actually document the entire infrastructure, including servers, desktops, networks, passwords, maps, diagrams, and customer information. Continuum has integrated everything, and you have to use a PSA. Continuum has a ticketing system and an RMM. They could integrate the functionality for IT documentation. An MSP would want everything into one tool."

"It's a legacy tool with many outdated approaches. It is managed offshore which affects everyone because it seems the developers don't fully understand our needs."

"The solution could improve by offering better overall management and dashboards."

"I would like to see the incorporation of the dashboards for other products that they work with into the main dashboard."

"The initial setup with ConnectWise RMM is painful, to be completely honest. The pain points during the initial setup with ConnectWise RMM include the migration from Automate to RMM being very time-consuming and the process not being as straightforward as indicated."

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."

"It has a pay-as-you-go model. They don't have any minimum, maximum, or such sorts of commitments with any of their partners or customers. I don't believe they have any restrictions about using a specific number of agents. You don't have to use 100 agents or 200 agents to work with this. They have a lock-in period of three months, during which you cannot switch a service plan, which is fine."

"Continuum Command price is more expensive than competitors, it is three times the price of the next lowest and costs approximately $25 an endpoint. However, when you take that into account you receive the help desk and outsource NOC included it has a lot more value because competitors do not provide the outsourced NOC and help desk."

"The licensing works such that the more you add, the more it costs, but for the most part, the price starts at about $5 USD per client."
