Automation tools improve management efficiency, though migration process is time-consuming and support could be more knowledgeable

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. We use some of the probe features in ConnectWise RMM that do network discovery and monitoring capabilities. ConnectWise RMM helps our team maintain network visibility and proactively address potential issues since the product works effectively at unknown device discovery, making it better than sending someone to the site for a manual discovery. ConnectWise RMM helps in automating security updates and maintaining endpoint security. We appreciate that their NOC team does evaluations on the security updates, allowing us to free up our time and making it a huge timesaver for us. The ability to do deployments through ConnectWise RMM's scripting features allows us to deploy new software or monitor the status of antivirus or system protection software, presenting another measurable benefit for us regarding ROI.

Helps analyze network packets effectively and saves time for testers

I have utilized the packet capturing capabilities in OmniPeek. Using the Alpha sniffer and hardware-supported network devices, we can perform sniffer capturing for Wi-Fi wireless packets and router packets. The interface allows us to capture packets and observe connection establishment, data transfer, and the downloading and uploading of packets, such as TCP and UDP packets. The software works for both wireless and wired connections, including Ethernet. As a wireless test engineer in the wireless industry, the features of OmniPeek help me monitor network activity. While there are alternatives such as Wireshark, OmniPeek supports Windows and is particularly helpful for testers, especially for device certification validation. This software enables packet analysis to verify protocol compliance and identify issues. For developers, packet captures from OmniPeek assist in understanding and debugging issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support has been fantastic."

"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."

"At this point, this product does everything that I want."

"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 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 most valuable feature is the patching solution."

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

"We've seen a lot of MSPs who have grown by using Continuum."

"This is a good product; I would recommend and encourage people to use it because it has helped me a lot in the field."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

"I believe the most crucial feature of OmniPeek search is the ability to sniff packets based on channel switching."

"OmniPeek is a good product, but you should know its purpose for your organization."

"OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek was the ability it gave us to see the connection procedure."

"The most valuable feature of OmniPeek is the ability to assign custom color codes to the different packets easily."

More OmniPeek pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"They may include support for vaulting, where you can actually document the entire infrastructure, including servers, desktops, networks, passwords, maps, diagrams, and customer information."

"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."

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

More ConnectWise RMM cons

"OmniPeek doesn't support Linux or Unix installations, which prompted the shift to Wireshark."

"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."

"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."

"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."

"OmniPeek needs to improve its performance level."

"The solution's automation has room for improvement."

More OmniPeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"We have only purchased the add-on once and have not paid for any subsequent versions as it was too costly for us."

"The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."

"There are different types of licenses available."
