Pros

“Its automation, patch management, and endpoint monitoring features can significantly improve efficiency for IT teams and managed service providers. While the interface and learning curve can be challenging at first, the platform provides substantial value once properly configured and integrated into daily workflows.”
PP

Owner

“The platform helps reduce manual workload, improves operational efficiency, and provides strong visibility into system health across managed environments.”

“ConnectWise enables the automation of a broad range of tasks, encompassing software deployment, patch management, the resolution of common incidents, and the execution of tailored scripts.”

Pros

“Pulseway gave me a lot of control remotely, and being able to act on servers directly from the app was extremely helpful.”

Programmeur Jouabilité

“Automation rules take over a lot of the repetitive maintenance so I can stop firefighting.”
BL

Byron L.

Software Developer

“We use all three of these systems daily, and the RMM mobile application helps us keep tabs on the systems when we are not in the office.”
AH

Adam H.

Help Desk Manager

Cons

“Due to the vast range of customization options, it can be overwhelming initially and may feel as though you are not getting full value for money until the tool has been fully learned and adopted.”

“I also had a 3rd party work on it with us and they were having a hard time getting PowerShell commands to work most of the time.”

Cons

“I’m not as intuitive with setting up custom automation scripts, I often have to dedicate several attempts to get it right.”
BL

Byron L.

Software Developer

“Another issue, we have a Bitdefender license for all our systems, currently have an issue where Pulseway does not correctly reflect that Bitdefender has been loaded on a system, but BitDefender does show that the system is running Bitdefender(Status:”

Senior IT Technician

“Some key touches can be added a bit quicker I think especially based on request for changes, some are flagged as urgent and confirmed by multiple users, however the change never seems to be implemented, either due to lack of functionality or the urgency is undervalued.”
