    With a lot of fine-tuning, it works very well to keep the Tier 2 team aware of almost any variable of interest of notification from your servers. You can automate scripts to deploy based on these events. It's cut down the amount of time spent digging around for answers or sifting through logs. Software deployment could use a lot of work for simplicity. We opted for other apps to accomplish this. The helpdesk function may work for those needing something basic, but again, we opted for a full ITSM based on ITIL. It works well for Remote Desktop Support, even for support on the fly for those who don't have the Premium Desktop app installed.

    CW RMM is well suited to managing Windows-based environments, automating routine tasks, and providing remote system access. It maintains SOC 2 compliance and offers options such as consent-to-control. It gives excellent visibility into backup status and system events. Built-in reports make it easy to evaluate environment changes. The Auvik network monitoring is vastly better than what we had with Lab Tech.

    Pros
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    • Very good reporting. We provide monthly reports to our customers on remote access, patching, etc.
    • Multiple methods of remote access. This is helpful because different scenarios require different remote access methods.
    • The site is easy to navigate/manage. There is not a big learning curve for new employees.

    Cons
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    • Sometimes when using Premium Remote it says that the wrong password was entered but the password is auto-filled by the program, not the user.

    • The agent service used for RMM access is known to fail, and needs to be restarted on occasion
    • Ongoing UI changes for 2 years, causing confusion where certain features are now located or how they work
    • Needs more documentation

    If I were new to remote management and had no experience with previous platforms, I might have rated this higher. Coming from Labtech's data views and customizable screens, I found some things easier to find.

    Support Rating
    Barracuda Networks Inc.
    We've tried many times to work with support to accomplish various tasks in the system with minimal responsiveness and success. Most of what we have accomplished has been without support and through trial/error.

    AVG Managed Workplace has more tools and features. The pre-existing templates and alerts are working properly while Continuum does not even provide service like that. There are some specific tools to work with and they are super easy to complete the task, for example, you can show what was replaced for your client. You can do it with others and even with Excel, but with table grid view mode of AVG will help you to do it more easily.

    Having evaluated and used other platforms, ConnectWise is above the rest in the market. Having the additional tools for patch management, reporting, Dashboard is key to running the help desk for our company. The ability to run scripts and support the end-user is key and ConnectWise Command lets us do our job efficiently as possible.
