Very useful for ticketing and billing purposes
In this case, we have the ability to fire on tasks. An email can be sent, and it is being received into the Kaseya tool or Autotask. Autotask then can parse the email appropriately and route it based on the rules that we set up. In that sense, it's very dynamic, and I can immediately identify which client is making a support request. It can route it to the appropriate queue and then send out the appropriate notifications. As work is done on the ticket, you can also notify the person requesting support or other pre-designated contacts so that they're kept in the loop. ConnectWise PSA is making its updates, and its integration with Office 365 has been really good. I like the fact that the solution integrates with IT Glue. ConnectWise PSA is making improvements, and it's a little bit more dynamic. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

A rock solid and scalable product for ticketing
We use the solution for ticketing.  I am impressed with the product's integration with other applications.  The product is counter-intuitive for me.  I have been using the product for three years.  There is no issues with the product's stability. It is a rock solid product.  The product is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We're using the solution for ticketing and billing, and those features are useful."
"Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."
"I also like ConnectWise's ability to set up queries. I can set up all these different queries that look for specific things and end up with a list of results, like feedback from the client or the ticket status."
"The ease of reporting is valuable. We have a weekly management meeting, and we gather numbers from ConnectWise in preparation for that. It is helpful for measuring how we're doing in our performance."
"The product has been pretty stable so far."
"It's a nice ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish."
"The platform is easy to use."
"I am impressed with the product's integration with other applications."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise PSA’s graphical interface is a little old."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"There should be some improvements to the interface. It is not completely intuitive. When you click in a blank area of a screen, you'll find some options."
"The custom reporting needs to be improved."
"A lot of times, it'll take a couple of moments for things to go through. If you're not patient about it, it may seem like things aren't working."
"The technical support of ConnectWise PSA is not very good."
"The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."
"The product is counter-intuitive for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."
"The pricing is not based on my clients so much as it is on how many people I have accessing the system, and I think it's pretty good."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
