We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a nice ticketing system.""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.""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 most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish.""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.""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.""The product has been pretty stable so far.""The search function is really good. To have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable."

"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out.""We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful.""The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like.""The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."

Cons
"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.""Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience.""The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better.""Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it.""Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app.""ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics.""ConnectWise PSA’s graphical interface is a little old.""It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."

More ConnectWise PSA Cons →

"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise.""The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan.""I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version.""There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available.""They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately.""The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More ConnectWise PSA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
  • "ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
