Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, Atlassian, BMC and others in Help Desk Software."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."
"It handles ticketing pretty well, and it's not something I have many critiques for."
"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."
"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 platform is easy to use."
"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."
"It is easy to use."
"It has a pretty good search function. If you do the advanced search, you can basically search for anything in any field. If I do a search on the request field and just put in some terms I'm searching for, I can usually find the ticket that I'm looking for."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the assets management module."
"Once installed, it runs like a charm and doesn't ever crash."
"SolarWinds is scalable as far as adding devices and servers."
"The custom reporting needs to be improved."
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"Their reporting options aren't great. BrightGauge was something that we added on, and that enhanced the experience."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."
"All other ticket systems can search previous tickets, whether they were homegrown in Oracle or something else. I'm talking about searching the actual contents of the discussions in the ticket. In ConnectWise, you can only search the summaries. It's ridiculous."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"The tracking inventory or the way it tracks the products is not very good."
"This solution needs to have mobile application support added."
"It would be good if there were training and tutorial videos on the Web Help Desk."
"A little outdated compared to newer products that include protection and detection."
"We would like to see automation included in the next release. We would like to eliminate the L1, and L2 support, by at least 80%. To do this, we need automation with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in combination with ML (Machine Learning)."
"The interface feels clunky to me compared to some other systems that I've used. I used ManageEngine Service Desk prior to this at my previous job and that had stuff like categories that we use that I don't see in SolarWinds."
