Managing Director at Syncro Design
User-friendly, customizable, and very affordable
Because of Apptivo's capabilities, lead conversion has happened very effectively. There is no spillage with lead tracking. We ensure that every lead is followed up. If any of those are not converted, we use the platform to engage with them again after about six months. We try to convert as many as possible, and that has been possible because of the CRM.

Centralized alerts and ticketing have improved SLA compliance and guided infrastructure decisions
For system monitoring and the alert system within ConnectWise PSA, we find it very useful, and its critical alerts are very important for us for ISOs and SOC compliances. The ticketing follow-up system is good, and there are many features that are very good in ConnectWise PSA. We use the time tracking feature with ConnectWise PSA, specifically for SLAs. The time tracking feature helps us improve billing accuracy, as it is really useful in improving the SLA of the tickets. We have different SLAs for different customers, including those who need a response within one hour and those who need a solution in one hour. According to those customer requirements, we have set the SLAs on the platform, and we get alerts if a ticket is going to be nearing the SLA. With the help of that, we improve the turnaround time and achieve the SLAs up to 90 percent maximum. ConnectWise PSA's reporting tools help our decision-making process a lot because, at certain points, we must make critical calls on moving and rebuilding servers. We can see the number of tickets and analyze server performance to make decisions, so it helps in that way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very customizable and very friendly. I could tailor it to my business."
"The platform is easy to use."
"ConnectWise lets us know when customers are looking at our quotes, so we know to reach out to them later."
"I have used other ticketing systems and they have not been as solid as ConnectWise."
"We're using the solution for ticketing and billing, and those features are useful."
"We use it for Business/Sales Management; it enables tracking of sales leads and opportunities."
"ConnectWise has changed the way our entire business works."
"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish, starting with sales and going right to project delivery, with automation and integration with our other systems and really good usability supported by a very thorough knowledge base."
"It handles ticketing pretty well, and it's not something I have many critiques for."
 

Cons

"Its integrations could be better. The UI/UX could also be better, but that is not essential for us."
"It would be nice if ConnectWise gave us more flexibility when using customized fields in the interface. You can set up a user-defined field, but those don't port over to tables. It's really inconvenient."
"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."
"It was a little complex. For example, figuring out what table in the setup tables contains the areas you would like to change is somewhat difficult."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve by having more integration with different software and have the process simple."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."
"All other ticket systems can search previous tickets, whether they were homegrown in Oracle or something else. I'm talking about searching the actual contents of the discussions in the ticket. In ConnectWise, you can only search the summaries. It's ridiculous."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very affordable. As a small business, it's very affordable for me. They're giving it to us at $10 a user, which is very comfortable. I would rate it a 10 out of 10 in terms of price. If we wanted to get some implementation and support from them, they had some pricing, but we didn't want that. We said that we'll set it up ourselves."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
