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.

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

"It's definitely one of those tools that is super powerful."
"ConnectWise has changed the way our entire business works."
"All the features of ConnectWise Manage are valuable. However, ticketing, customer management, customer communication, technician efficiency, calendars, coding, billing, invoicing, and contract management are available. It's a complete solution. Additionally, the company is responsive with the ability to progress or make necessary changes happen."
"We're using the solution for ticketing and billing, and those features are useful."
"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."
"We are able to use our ticket system to track any remediation of a device stored in our configurations."
"My tool to manage my devices and my tool for ticketing are all in one."
"Contact integration to customers faster way to update the ticket searching for tickets when it is needed."
"I am impressed with the product's integration with other applications."
"There is no issues with the product's stability. It is a rock solid product."
 

Cons

"The technical support of ConnectWise PSA is not very good."
"Not a good ticketing system"
"ConnectWise Manage can improve by having more integration with different software and have the process simple."
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"If you've got 40 tickets that come in, that get generated, that don't get properly tagged with the company, you can't just check them all and reassign them to another company. You have to individually reassign each one of those tickets to a new company."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"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."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
"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."
