Asset Panda vs. ConnectWise RMM

Asset Panda, in my opinion, is well suited for even the most confined environments. The software's costing is very viable and well worth the value that it brings to solving a variety of keeping inventory that many businesses face. This item has saved us money by keeping track of assets that would have otherwise been lost or written off. This all is now in its proper place.

It is well suited for environments with a large number of users (think MSPs) that need remote access, and quickly getting to a client site is either not an option, or will greatly increase delays in support. It also works well to monitor client devices and make decisions based on the robust reporting offered (hardware, installed OS version, OS Patching, etc.). It is not very well suited for small environments or single businesses due to cost, and management required.

• It is great for a non profit organization because you can add any columns you need to the asset. For example, I have added a funding source column to sort different grants that have paid for our assets.
• Asset Panda provides the depreciation calculation for you.
• The software is easy to maneuver. It can be easily searched and sorted by type of asset/date or any category you create.
• You can add and track non depreciable items as well. Reports can be ran for just depreciable assets when needed so this will not interfere with you depreciable asset listing.

• Grouping/Reporting: static organization as well as dynamically and quickly getting inventory and other machine-based information
• Out-sourced teams do a good job of handling small things without much input as long as you are clear and concise.
• Patching is likely the best thing about their platform. Windows patch testing is actually performed in house and they make recommendations for you. Allowing you to push through patches if you know someone needs something. But this is a major task that very few if anyone else does.

• Sometimes search isn't the best
• It does not tell you if you have double posted

• It runs heavy on the resources of the computer.
• Sometimes the Updates are a little behind.
• The message tab open up in the background.

I have not used any other tracking programs, so I do not have an opinion either way

ScreenConnect and RMM are two totally different platforms We did not try any other competitive RMM software out their because of the history of using ConnectWise's software. We have never have had any issues with their software so we started using RMM right out of the box and never have had a reason to switch.

• Inventory now has RBAC.

• Command package from ConnectWise fits mostly with our objectives for our clients in a day to day operations.
• BDR Package is a great platform to manage Disaster Recover options - Sometimes hard to understand the billing options and plans
• NOC services for the servers are the best. Support is on top of the server for anything needed.
