ConnectWise
PRODUCT SUMMARY
ConnectWise Automate, previously known as LabTech, is a remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform that simplifies and automates managing, maintaining, and troubleshooting endpoints. Its scripting function allows managed service providers (MSPs) and IT teams to automate routine processes and workflows and customize the platform to meet their needs.
Use Cases
- Remote endpoint management:
From ConnectWise’s single view, users can monitor device status and manage endpoints, solving performance or security issues without disruptive downtime. - Patch and software management:
Users can deploy applications and install updates to ensure that devices are configured, optimized, and secure. - Automation:
Cut down on routine IT workloads by automating repeatable tasks.
Shortcomings
- Difficult implementation:
The initial implementation of ConnectWise Automate is complex, costly, and time-consuming, and users often need consultants to help them implement and use the solution. - Complex interface:
Technicians can take a long time to fully understand how to utilize the platform’s features and settings. - Lack of support for non-Windows devices:
The solution is built more for Windows devices with less patching, actions, and data for other OS.

Why your peers choose us over ConnectWise
ConnectWise operates as a collection of standalone products. While sometimes packaged together, each product maintains its individual architectures and interfaces. This contrasts sharply with NinjaOne’s single, unified platform design. Where ConnectWise delivers a suite of separate tools, NinjaOne provides a cohesive, integrated experience and streamlines endpoint management through its interconnected architecture.
NinjaOne offers automated endpoint management software that allows IT professionals, teams, and MSPs to centralize IT tasks, automate routine tasks, and gain control over device management from a single, unified platform. Whether you have a small business or manage a sprawling enterprise, NinjaOne’s “single pane of glass” approach allows IT professionals to streamline workflows and boost productivity.
Some users who switched from ConnectWise to NinjaOne also appreciate the diverse integrations. NinjaOne offers pre-built integrations with popular tools, allowing users to connect seamlessly and automate tasks without needing to write complex scripts or configure workarounds between separate systems.
“We’ve come a long way in the last few years due to the tools we use – including NinjaOne. We went from a company that didn’t prioritize organization to comfortably using tools that encourage that. We can onboard customers more efficiently, feel comfortable with our tools and even enjoy using them. Our focus has always been to treat customers as best as we can and thanks to NinjaOne, we can do that better than ever.”
