ConnectWise has changed the way our entire business works.

What is most valuable?

The flexibility in agreement billing has been really good - we have a lot of complex contracts with clients and ConnectWise has catered for almost all the ways we'd like to bill customers.

ConnectWise has changed the way our entire business works. We started with a "light" implementation using about 10% of the functionality, and we have since implemented more and more modules to improve different areas of the business.

What needs improvement?

better documentation and access to the back end database would be nice.

For how long have I used the solution?

10 years.

We entered our entire asset inventory into the configurations, and when we receive a ticket we attach the device from the configurations.

Valuable Features

The service desk and configurations are the most valuable features.

Improvements to My Organization

We are able to use our ticket system to track any remediation of a device stored in our configurations. We entered our entire asset inventory into the configurations, and when we receive a ticket we attach the device from the configurations. Later on, if you want to see an audit trail for a particular device you just pull that configuration up and click the audit trail tab. You can also attach documents, emails, etc. to a ticket or configuration.

Room for Improvement

When viewing a ticket, I would like to see a filtered list on a sidebar of configurations assigned to the contact that created the ticket. Then I would like the ability to associate one of the devices in that filtered list to the active ticket.

Use of Solution

We've been using this for two years.

Deployment Issues

Our deployment took a week or so.

Stability Issues

We had no issues with the performance.

Scalability Issues

It's been able to scale for our needs.

Customer Service and Technical Support

10/10

Initial Setup

ConnectWise helped us with the deployment. They give you perhaps five hours of implementation support.

Implementation Team

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.

Pricing, Setup Cost and Licensing

The price is reasonable, you pay $68 per user per month and have to have a minimum of two users. It is a cloud-based solution.

Other Solutions Considered

We didn't evaluate any other products. This product came highly recommended by other MSPs.

Other Advice

You need to pay particular attention to the setup tables. Also, ConnectWise has a university where you can take lots of courses that will help you learn ConnectWise, and some of that training is mandatory.

Reporting is easy, and it has been stable and scalable for us
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."

What is our primary use case?

We use it just to get metrics. We have ConnectWise Manage, Automate, and Control. They purchased a company called Perch that we have, and we also have BrightGauge.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for probably two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It has been stable for us.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable for us. We just add more users or more endpoints.

How are customer service and support?

They have some good technical people, but sometimes, getting the right person is a chore.

How was the initial setup?

Learning to use the software was one thing, but getting it tailored to our environment and our client environment was a lot of work.

It doesn't take a lot to maintain. We probably have one person to maintain it.

What other advice do I have?

BrightGauge is fairly new as an implementation in Control. So, at this time, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud
