Facilitates valuable patch cycles, but the web client is not very intuitive and needs updating, and the scripting has room for improvement
The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive. It could use some updating and some thought around the UX. Also, with the scripting, I would like to see something where it could have third-party scripts already pre-built, and all you have to do is say, "Hey, I need this," and go load it. It's not as automated as I'd like it to be.
Daniel Gombe - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at SOIT Business Solutions
Remote management and incident handling have improved with customizable alerts and efficient patch management
The best feature in N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management is the ease of use because I can remote into any machine that's under management without having to drive out to the customer all the time. It helps to reduce workflows because I can create scripts that I can automate, so I don't have to have many people working for me. It helps to reduce incident response times because it's a combination of tools that logs incidents to the PSA, creates tickets, and allows us to manage incidents all in one for an MSP. It does improve service delivery because we can see what's wrong with certain devices before even the customer has a problem, allowing us to remedy it with the necessary tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The implementation is nice and easy."
"The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database."
"Because of the system's capabilities, my team is able to significantly reduce the work that they were previously doing, more than 40%, in my opinion."
"The solution is very stable; it's reliable, there are no bugs and glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Maybe they could improve the capability to be multi-tenant."
"Technical support has been good. Everyone we have been in contact with has responded to our queries in a reasonable amount of time."
"It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment is quick."
"SolarWinds is very good, it's one of the leaders in Gartner Magic Quadrant."
"I'm really happy with the background remote access, which allows me to easily change system internals such as registry keys and silently execute commands using the command prompt in the background. This kind of remote access makes it easy for us to do our jobs without getting in the customer's way."
"We like that this solution is in real-time, it gives us real-time monitoring."
"The integrated backup and the scripting are good, and we use them the most."
"Remote support has been very handy. It also lets us know if there are failing hard drives or Windows issues."
"If you want to understand what is happening on your network, this is a good tool."
"The network device is a good feature. In a place where you need to monitor your firewall switches, you can add an RMM tool and monitor it on the same screen on the same setup for the same client. Network devices are very good."
"The solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"I would say that it really needs to improve on it. They need better visibility and reporting and alerts and different things."
"Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."
"I have found the solution to be not very scalable."
"Reliability: Open a computer window new screen and it's slow."
"There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate."
"This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved."
"Their support needs to be better."
"The menu doesn't always load properly."
"Additionally, N-sight has an anti-human device manager, but it is only for Apple iOS devices, not for Android."
"There are disconnection issues sometimes."
"Kaseya is a similar product and they have easier scripts."
"Sometimes, it says it requires a reboot, and you reboot it, but the same message still shows up."
"Kaseya is a similar product and they have easier scripts. If you want to deploy one software to 100 machines, we need to dig into it and then we need to create the script and work with the support team and then we can deploy that particular script. The pre-built scripted is the one thing that I would definitely like to have improved."
"The reporting could be more customizable."
"After testing, we decided not to proceed with this product. It is very good and has many features, but the cost is very expensive so it is beyond our budget."
"It would be great if the pricing model could be improved and the solution was more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From what I've overheard, it is pretty comparable to other solutions in terms of price."
"Pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"I believe Automate is available for around $2."
"I pay $85 a month per user for a ConnectWise package that contains multiple solutions."
"The product is fairly priced."
"We use SolarWinds RMM on a pay-as-you-go monthly basis, so the cost can be highly variable because it depends on a few factors such as how many devices you need to support and what extra features you want to use. The more devices you have, the more you'll pay, and the same goes for extras."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"As I'm not part of the procurement team and because I'm 100% technical, I'm not that familiar with the costs associated with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management, but I can say that in my location, particularly here in Sri Lanka, it's more expensive than other RMM solutions. I'm working for an Australian IT MSP, and over there, the solution isn't as expensive, but where I'm located, it is, so this is the reason why sometimes, clients don't go with N-able N-sight Remote Monitoring & Management. Licensing cost is also the reason why my organization is looking into Kaseya RMM. My current organization merged with another organization that's using both Kaseya RMM and Connectwise."
"I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to that since I set it up. It has per-user licensing. If I remember it correctly, it worked out to about $10 a month per user. There were no additional costs. It was pretty straightforward and simple."
"It's expensive and out of our budget."
"The solution is not very expensive."
"Out clients pay monthly for the license of N-able Remote Monitoring & Management."
