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…

Quotes from Members

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."
"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 search function is really good. To have a single place where we have the account information stored is probably most valuable."
"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."
"Contains every feature that a VAR or MSP would want."
"The platform is easy to use."
"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's a pretty simple web interface. The rules engine was really easy to set up, and it ingests emails very well."
"I am impressed with the product's integration with other applications."
 

Cons

"Has a very outdated 90s interface and not all features are accessible via the mobile app."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."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"The custom reporting needs to be improved."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"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 product is counter-intuitive for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"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."
"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."
