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.

Generates comprehensive system status updates for trend analysis, but the customization features need enhancement
The adoption of Kaseya has significantly enhanced our IT service and delivery management compared to our previous reliance on Excel-based processes. The transition has provided us with essential reports on resource utilization. Additionally, the platform generates comprehensive status updates on open tickets and allows for trend analysis. The product does not provide automation features. We have to integrate third-party tools for automatic ticketing. Its reporting capabilities could be enhanced as well. I rate it a six 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

"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."
"Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."
"It's a nice ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"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."
"The search function is really good. To have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
 

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."
"The technical support of ConnectWise PSA is not very good."
"ConnectWise PSA’s graphical interface is a little old."
"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."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
