ConnectWise RMM vs. Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management

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.
