Review Summary	User reviews of ConnectWise Automate highlight its powerful automation capabilities, particularly for remote management, patching, and scripting. While users appreciate its robust features and integration with other ConnectWise products, they often cite a steep learning curve and complex setup as major drawbacks. A common complaint centers around support, which is perceived as slow and inadequate, with users needing to rely heavily on documentation and third-party assistance. Overall, ConnectWise Automate is considered a valuable tool for MSPs, but its success hinges on a dedicated team and a willingness to invest time in mastering its intricacies.	Checkmk is a robust monitoring solution praised for its wide range of out-of-the-box checks, extensive plugin library, and robust alerting capabilities. Users highlight its easy setup, scalability for large environments, and the active community offering support. However, some find the configuration process complex, particularly for beginners, with a steep learning curve. The GUI can feel cluttered, and certain features, like rule management and dashboard creation, might require further refinement for improved user experience.
