Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • ConnectWise Automate truly shines when it comes to robust automation — the ability to patch multiple devices simultaneously is a massive time-saver, freeing up IT professionals to focus on higher-priority work. Its proactive monitoring and alerting capabilities are comprehensive, sending notifications for issues like low disk space or connectivity problems before they become critical — a huge win for MSPs trying to stay ahead of client issues. The scripting and automation features are flexible and powerful, and the remote access options are robust, making it a solid, reliable choice for IT teams managing distributed environments. The tight integration with ConnectWise PSA and ScreenConnect as a primary connection surface is a standout advantage for shops already in the ConnectWise ecosystem.
  • ConnectWise Automate provides real-time monitoring of endpoints and generates alerts for potential issues. This proactive monitoring helps IT teams address issues promptly, minimizing the impact on end-users.
  • Ticketing and alerting is excellent and often resolves most known issues automatically. You have the ability to add scripts which would assist the automation and resolution process.
  • The functionality of the scripts is great. The systems can reboot overnight and can be pushed through windows updates—and the whole thing can be monitored. You can easily use SQL Queries to create reports for NOC operations.
  • Very powerful RMM tool. There is almost no limitation to what you can do with ConnectWise Automate. The scripting engine allows you to create automation tasks using their basic scripting functions or use your own with a PowerShell script.

Cons

  • Getting up and running with ConnectWise Automate does take some patience — the initial setup and configuration can be time-consuming, and ongoing maintenance requires dedicated expertise that smaller teams may find challenging to sustain. Patch management, while functional, remains an area with some room for improvement, and reporting inconsistencies can occasionally require a bit of manual follow-up to keep everything tidy. Some users transitioning from simpler RMM solutions may find the interface a lot to take in at first, and the feature gap between the web version and the installed client can take a little getting used to
  • While powerful, ConnectWise Automate's extensive features may be considered overkill for smaller IT teams or businesses with simpler IT infrastructure. Implementing only the necessary features may require careful configuration.
  • Support is not the greatest in terms of time to respond though very knowledgeable once engaged.
  • It can be very difficult to set up. The UI is too complex and hard to understand. Support is limited for Linux and OS X systems.
  • The solution is aging a bit and needs to be updated to support more cloud centric thinking. Still stuck in the age of on-premise solutions and ignoring things like Microsoft 365.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • * Multiple features available in on pane of glass interface * Useful remote access (GUI, CMD and PowerShell)
  • N‑able RMM offers wide support for remote monitoring in IT. It makes remote monitoring and risk intelligence a breeze to monitor. 24x7 uptime makes it a reliable solution. The flexible monitoring dashboard gives a good amount of data on one screen.
  • The ability to monitor in-depth performance from remote is great. It helped us to monitor risk alert and also allows us to backup and restore from anywhere. The alert on any critical security issues is the best we liked about N‑able RMM.
  • Best Remote Monitoring tool to manage IT structures and functions. Help you make a fast analysis. Network device monitoring, to manage firewalls. Useful reports.
  • N‑able RMM tool is available on multi-platform. It gives you the power to monitor security, working capacity and real-time analytics. It updates you about safety problems and server status.

Cons

  • * Very dated interface * Poor integration with included features i.e. installation is easy but manual removal is required for almost EVERY integrated feature, this leads to unfair billing for uninstalled devices * Pushy up-sales
  • Nothing so far had a great experience from this tool.
  • There is a learning curve. The dashboard needs customization.
  • No cons ever faced. I will update if I have any in future.
  • It offers great remote monitoring features. To manage network and security.
