ConnectWise Automate Pricing FAQ

01 How much does ConnectWise Automate cost?

Pricing varies by plan. Check the official pricing page for current rates.

02 Does ConnectWise Automate have a free tier?

Check the pricing section above for free tier availability.

03 What are the main features of ConnectWise Automate?

Key features include the items listed in the pricing tiers above.

04 Is ConnectWise Automate worth the price?

Value depends on your specific needs and use case. Compare features across plans.

05 Do I need scripting or coding experience to use ConnectWise Automate?

ConnectWise Automate is best suited for MSPs with scripting expertise. While it offers powerful automation capabilities, the scripting engine has a steep learning curve. Many small MSPs have only one staff member capable of creating scripts and rely on external vendors for advanced work. If you lack coding experience and just want surface-level ticketing, other platforms may be more appropriate.

06 What integrations does ConnectWise Automate support?

ConnectWise Automate integrates tightly with ConnectWise Manage for ticketing and alert management. It also works with ScreenConnect for remote access, ITGlue for documentation, and accepts multiple plugins for managing network hardware. However, integration with some SIEM products is lacking compared to competitors.

07 How good is the reporting in ConnectWise Automate?

Reporting is considered a weak point. The platform comes with decent canned reports and useful dataviews like Software Listing for planning deployments. However, generating custom reports is not well documented and very difficult. It previously used Crystal Reports, but now uses a custom report builder where nesting and grouping don't work well.
