"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."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"A good automated scripts feature."
"We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate."
"It is very scalable."
"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."

"The most valuable feature is its support for different types of devices, where it can use all of the equipment that you need."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"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."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"Technical support was helpful."
"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over."
"Patching and reporting need improvements, especially reporting. The reporting engine is quite outdated, so you end up having to use your own dashboard."
"Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."
"In Patch Manager, there should be more reportability so that it is easier to see the updates that I have applied to a machine and when the next update will happen. A lot of times, it seems like all the information is kind of thrown all over the place, and you can't really see it all at the same time. There should be a simplified patch data view that allows us to quickly confirm that our various clients are getting patched as they should be."
"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
