Facilitates valuable patch cycles, but the web client is not very intuitive and needs updating, and the scripting has room for improvement
The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive. It could use some updating and some thought around the UX. Also, with the scripting, I would like to see something where it could have third-party scripts already pre-built, and all you have to do is say, "Hey, I need this," and go load it. It's not as automated as I'd like it to be.

Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reporting on the product is great."
"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."
"The automated scripts feature means that we can set up for a lot of different things and they have reduced tech input drastically, in the sense that a task only needs to be done once instead of 100 times."
"Their premium support is great."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"Because of the system's capabilities, my team is able to significantly reduce the work that they were previously doing, more than 40%, in my opinion."
"Remote monitoring allows the organization to react more quickly to emergencies, particularly offline devices/locations."
"One of the greatest benefits of LabTech is less client downtime, because LabTech lets you proactively monitor and fix issues before they interrupt your clients’ business, so you can virtually eliminate system outages."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"Unattended remote assistance."
"The alerts are helpful."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."
"​The initial setup was simple."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve Event ID monitoring big time. They're behind the game on the other RMMs, and we support multiple RMMs."
"Reliability: Open a computer window new screen and it's slow."
"I almost would rather have a different tool, but I'm not sure which one yet."
"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 fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."
"Technical support was helpful."
"Their support needs to be better."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"While I am not in charge of the finances, I do know that the solution is expensive as hell."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From what I've overheard, it is pretty comparable to other solutions in terms of price."
"I believe Automate is available for around $2."
"I pay $85 a month per user for a ConnectWise package that contains multiple solutions."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
