Why choosing ConnectWise might be unwise

It’s complicated

Connectwise Automate is known for its steep learning curve. Customers note the time investment to understand and maintain the tool “never seemed to finish.” Ramp-up time1 is not included in the initial term, which lengthens the contract period. GoTo Resolve makes it easy to complete essential RMM tasks, without scripting knowledge.

It’s costly

With an RMM solution like Connectwise Automate, not only are you paying for the cost of the product, you’re paying for the extensive training required to get the most out of it – as well as the overhead of the dedicated employees you’ll need to manage the tool.

It’s dated

With Automate being nearly 20 years old, and ConnectWise lowering investment2 in favor of other products, customers describe the interface as “archaic”3 and the platform as “painfully slow.”4 GoTo Resolve’s best-in-class tools are constantly updated with the most current technology.
