Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

External Vendor for Advanced Scripting

medium implementation

While ConnectWise Automate has a robust scripting engine, the complexity often requires hiring external vendors for advanced automation work. Small MSPs typically have only one staff member capable of creating scripts, necessitating outside help for more complex implementations.

We have only 1 person on staff that can setup scripts, and we have to use an outside vendor for more advanced work.

creating scripts is not particularly intuitive

2

Third-Party Add-ons for Core Functionality

low addon

Organizations need to purchase additional tools like AutoElevate to handle user access control (UAC) properly, as this functionality is not natively robust within Automate.

We recently started using AutoElevate to handle UAC, and we have a script that allows us to push it to new client end points easily.

Slow Support Resolution
