Find out what your peers are saying about NinjaOne, Kaseya, TeamViewer and others in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM)."The most value we get from this solution is that everything is on a patch cycle."
"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."
"We use monitors to keep track of our machines. We use a pretty good portion of information from Automate."
"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."
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"It allows us to manage all client requests, jobs and invoicing."
"Maybe they could improve the capability to be multi-tenant."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"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."
"Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."
"Technical support was helpful."
"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"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."
"There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate."
"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over."
"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."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
