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.	Wireshark is widely praised as a powerful, free, and comprehensive packet analyzer for network troubleshooting and security analysis. Users particularly appreciate its deep packet inspection capabilities, protocol filters, and support for multiple platforms. While its learning curve can be steep for beginners, its vast online resources and community support mitigate this challenge. Some users noted performance issues with large log files and expressed a desire for a more intuitive user interface. Overall, Wireshark is a valuable tool for network professionals, but its complexity requires a certain level of expertise.
