Featured Reviews

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.
Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice for others looking into using ConnectWise RMM is that it is the best tool to work with in terms of RMM, and I do not know why people prefer NinjaOne; I clearly prefer ConnectWise much more."
"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."
"It enables us to respond to issues quickly and efficiently."
"The technical support has been fantastic."
"We've seen a lot of MSPs who have grown by using Continuum."
"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."
"Automated patch management in ConnectWise RMM has made everything streamlined, allowing me to concentrate on more important tasks."
"At this point, this product does everything that I want."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see the incorporation of the dashboards for other products that they work with into the main dashboard."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"ConnectWise RMM sometimes has a lag, and the speed can be an issue."
"The solution could improve by offering better overall management and dashboards."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
 

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."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
