    Broadcom
    Well Suited: - Multiple units (you may split Nimsoft per Groups, companies, etc.) - When your Business Teams NEED Dashboards (they'll love it after they learn how to use, for example, if they discover that the may even run SQL queries together with monitor the webpage of the application, and display business data) Less appropriate: - If you are beginning to monitor your environment (because you need to know your environment at least a little bit to check if the entire set of monitoring Nimsoft plugins will really help you or you will only use it to ping your application) - If you don't have at least one (i do recommend 2 or 3 after some short time) people dedicated to deploy and fine-tune the monitoring. The tool is really good, but if you don't have anyone working on it, you will notice that you're spending money in an elephant to kill an ant or worst, that you passed the entire year, and still have the same problems of the last year, cause no one put the hands enough time in the tool. I saw this happening during the first year when I was the only one working with the tool and still supporting the entire team.

    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.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • I'd like to see improvements in inventory management. Currently node management isn't as efficient as I'd like.
    • I also see a big opportunity to offer greater customization in the Detail Tab. I'd like the ability to pick and chose which metrics are displayed by default in the Detail Tab snapshot.

    • 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.

    All tools have their own gaps , some seem to do more than others, some just work better. With UIM we have found a sweet spot with features, price point, pros, cons, etc

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Broadcom
    • Business Units love It - Good for them, but worse for the IT Team until we share the responsibility of the dashboards.
    • If no one put their hands on it, it will take some time to give results. I'm talking about environments with 400 devices, for example, in something about 6 months to one year, if no one is dedicated, and depending on the consulting company. Some, even certified by CA, was not good. If possible, try to use CA services directly.
    • IT Teams, after they start to notice that the tool really work, will want to monitor everything. Depending on the company, this will be more or less easy to measure, as ROI. And I'm telling this because usually IT teams don't know how to sell them to C-Levels, and the tool, because of the price, is always a motivation to questions like: "What is this tool? Do you really need it? Is there another way to monitor this?"
