ConnectWise PSA

CRM for the Best in the Biz!

Kommentare: With ConnectWise Manage behind us, we've spent the last 6+ years blazing a trail in our local market. Taking on client for year over year growth. And not enough thanks can be given to the tools that helped us get there. With a friendly (now giant) team behind it, ConnectWise Manage integrates with, and has truly become a standard in the industry. You've been with the rest, now get with the best.

Vorteile:

ConnectWise Manage has enough features to essentially run your entire business out of! When it comes to tracking issues, maintaining inventory and documented details across many partners/clients/sites - this is THEE tool. Abundant resources to learn the tool exist including certification learning courses. (You're going to want to take them).

Nachteile:

Interface has been ignored for a long time - its universally uglier than ALL of its competitors. This has been massively improved over the last year and continues to get better as it is finally a focus for them after the many recent developmental hurdles they need to address from the various M&A from the last 4 years. Some more advanced features really require some 'higher' learning to understand and best implement. Thankfully they have many MANY resources for this.

Good Product, Deployment Can Take Some Work

Kommentare: We used a consultant to help us get going, which was a godsend. If you're looking at this product, get a consultant to help you through implementation. Also the chat support through ConnectWise is very good, so if you have questions that's the first place I would turn after looking through the University and forums.

Vorteile:

Our company came onboard with Manage and Automate at the same time, so once we had the integration between them set up it made service tickets very easy to work. It's very customizable for however your business operates with support for the whole service lifecycle, from sales and quoting new customers all the way through to invoicing. We use it for an internal IT solution so that part isn't as important for us, but good to know it's there. Also the ConnectWise University has a lot of good material to help get you going, with training in nearly every aspect of the system.

Nachteile:

There are so many things to set up in the beginning, depending on the complexity of your business it could take months before you're ready to go live. Also, because it's meant for MSPs there are a lot of things like on the financial side that we don't need for internal IT.

ConnectWise PSA is a game changer for managing my projects and clients.

Vorteile:

The intuitive interface and robust features make managing projects and clients a breeze.

Nachteile:

However, the initial learning curve can be a bit steep for new users. Some features could be more user-friendly.

Boosting Productivity with Automated and Centralized Management

Vorteile:

ConnectWise PSA has been a valuable asset for managing my business operations, offering a single platform to handle project management, ticketing, and billing. The software's automation features have saved me time, allowing me to focus on growing my business. The integrations with other tools have streamlined my workflow, and the reporting functions provide insights to make informed decisions. Overall, ConnectWise PSA has helped me stay organized and efficient.

Nachteile:

ConnectWise PSA's setup can be time-consuming. Be prepared to invest effort in configuration.

A great solution to combine all the needs of an MSP

Kommentare: We signed up with Manage over 12 years ago and have never looked back. It is constantly being improved, it links our RMM tool with the CRM capabilities and provides all of our staff with their base Software to be running day in, day out.

Vorteile:

We primarily purchased Manage for its Ticket facility. It now integrates all of our departments, including finance, support, sales and procurement.

Nachteile:

Most of the gripes over the years, have been resolved to be honest, though regular updates. In terms of pricing, it's not the cheapest out there. But it does the job well. I guess the support has been better in the past. More often that not now, if you get a problem, it's rarely a quick fix. It has to get escalated etc.
