Is LabTech a good application?

LabTech is solid. There is a bit of a learning curve, but honestly, that is to be expected by an application that allows you to get so incredibly granular in your customizations. The out-of-the-box setup allows you to use the default settings but expect to make changes if you want to maximize its capabilities to your environment. Setting up customers is fairly easy and the general mundane tasks are not an issue (RDP, VNC Eventlog views, etc.) once the agent is loaded on a station. The real power and learning curve comes in w/ monitoring, alerts, reports, Dataviews, scripts, scheduling, etc. This is the real value and separator of LabTech from my standpoint. It should be noted this RMM was written by techs for techs so if you are looking for a user-friendly environment you probably won't find it here. This is the Cisco of RMM (and who complains about how complicated Cisco can be. As a tech you just learn it, certify in it, and become an expert. It's just accepted that with complexity there's a learning curve.).

Is LabTech a good RMM tool?

We've been quite pleased with LabTech as our RMM tool. It does have a rather steep learning curve, which I found out once I was assigned the task of managing LT for our clients, but as long as you have the resources to throw at getting it running how you like then you will get to where you want to get with LabTech. It's a very deep system, so it's to be expected that it's going to take some time to get familiar with it. Once you get the hang of moving your way around the control panel and configuring the monitors and various other modules of LT it gets quite easy to work with and allows for tons of custom scripting and automation. The integration with Connectwise has been for the most part seamless, and the Ignite pack that was available with the 2012 release gave me a good start on getting our automation and monitoring up and running quickly.
