Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"This product paid for itself within the first six months of use, and after about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."
"It's a pretty simple web interface. The rules engine was really easy to set up, and it ingests emails very well."
"The search function is really good. To have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable."
"Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."
"I like the search function up top where if you know what you're searching for, you can find it pretty quickly. Because you've got the option to change what the search parameters are, whether you're searching for a project, quote, ticket, or an invoice, you can kind of pick and choose what you're looking for."
"My tool to manage my devices and my tool for ticketing are all in one."
"The most valuable features of ConnectWise Manage are that it is on the cloud and functions well."
"We like the way that ConnectWise is completely integrated. So you when you identify an opportunity, you can save it, and ConnectWise pushes it through to the whole invoicing process."
"Contact integration to customers faster way to update the ticket searching for tickets when it is needed."
 

Cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"The custom reporting needs to be improved."
"There should be some improvements to the interface. It is not completely intuitive."
"The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."
"Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."
"Reliability is definitely something that I have issues with, especially over a bad connection."
"Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."
"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"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."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
