    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.

    Overall it is well suited to a mid size Enviromint with a limited staff. If you have a limited amount of time you can dedicate to solutions then having one that is by default already included in the system and can be managed well then it makes for fast integration with low overhead

    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.

    most features are pretty point and click simple. Some areas that are move detailed require some specialized training and knowledge to be able to navigate and get anything useful out of it. With some basic understanding you can gather tremendous amounts of data and have it available

    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.

    EMS integrates directly with Office 365. It offers multiple desired features in one product/subscription. It's difficult to do a 1:1 comparison between each product. OneLogin's pre-sales support was terrible and implementation was complex. Barracuda offers great email protection but hard to justify the cost when EMS can just be added on to existing Office 365 accounts and brings additional benefit in SSO, etc.
