Faiz Fortune - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Engineer at Moksh Tech
Automated monitoring has streamlined time tracking and project management across all clients
I think the most valuable feature of ConnectWise RMM is scheduling my time with clients and capturing my times with them. Time management is key for my workflow. It helps with keeping track of all our clients and all the devices, so ConnectWise RMM has been quite helpful in managing my IT environment overall. Automated patch management in ConnectWise RMM has made everything streamlined, allowing me to concentrate on more important tasks. I can run my automations and ensure that they go through every server, every cloud infrastructure, and every client. I've observed that with ConnectWise RMM, capturing my times used to be quite an issue when working with overseas countries, but now it's much easier, and I can monitor everything I'm doing in real-time.
Chethan Gowda - PeerSpot reviewer
Windows Security Patching Operation III (Cyber Operations) at CBTS
Have maintained accurate vulnerability scans and gained actionable remediation insights across thousands of servers
Tenable Vulnerability Management agents are very lightweight, and the results we get are very accurate. The solutions they provide to us, assuming if one vulnerability exists, there will be a solution. The resolution they give us in wording will be the best solution. The exploit rates and the reports we get provide a lot of information, making it very easy for us to verify.The main benefit of integration with Tenable Vulnerability Management is that there will be no lack of missing vulnerabilities when it comes to the patching environment. That is one of the key aspects of why we have integrated Tenable to our patching tools. It has a vast capacity of pushing the data to our tools due to its capability and compatibility. That is also one of the reasons why we are using Tenable Vulnerability Management.
