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…

Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform is easy to use."
"Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."
"It's a pretty simple web interface. The rules engine was really easy to set up, and it ingests emails very well."
"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish."
"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."
"It handles ticketing pretty well, and it's not something I have many critiques for."
"We're using the solution for ticketing and billing, and those features are useful."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's integration with other applications."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"The document control is quite good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"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 custom reporting needs to be improved."
"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."
"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"The product is counter-intuitive for me."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
Information not available
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
