What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

I can almost live in ConnectWise, in that I have contact info, appointments, tickets, configurations and more all in one place. Customizable module layout. Ability to use with Watchman Monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

Mobile app needs more development (a lot more, says the iOS 11.2.2 iPhone X user). Browser access needs to conform to standards. For example, when I use a shortcut to go to the beginning of a line (or maybe it’s a word), CW tries to go back a page. I have lost work this way. No other web page does this. The look of it also feels very dated. Needs more customizable views (e.g., when looking at my time entries before submission, why is there no option to show the ticket status so I don’t have to go into each one individually to confirm I closed them?). Needs CalDAV and CardDAV support so my calendar shows events when I assign myself a ticket and so that contacts in CW can be accessed when I ask Siri for directions to the client. In other words, it needs to be faster, more fluid, easier to use with modern tools like Siri, less clunky, generally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise PSA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Again, having everything more or less contained in one system is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

Connectwise is a full featured PSA tool. What I like most about it is its ability to control our workflow in the Technical Services Department. We use it to generate tickets for work coming in and track all of our technicians work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

The only thing I don't really like about COnnectwise its it heavy client. It is a large install and the performance sometimes can be lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Work hard to stay on top of your data. Connectwise can get out of hand if you don't keep data accurate. Garbage in equals Garbage out is very relevant here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connectwise addresses many business needs for us. We do all ticket tracking and escalation via it and we also use it for all of our billing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

The service and project ticket management system is amazing. Manage allows us to prioritize incoming requests and triage what is most important. For project tickets, it allows me to see everything relevant at a glance and schedule efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

The permissions trees have grown rather wild over the last few updates as new features have been added. Often we find that certain job roles are no longer able to do things until we isolate the change and fix the permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Assign a team of 2-3 people to be your subject matter experts. There is a large learning curve and it helped to have people on our staff that could do setup, coordinate training, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise PSA solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for a range of things related to IT such as our helpdesk, project management, and account services. We used to have these all done by seperate programs but now ConnectWise Manage allows us to do it all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

The functionality is robust out of the box and setup is rather logical and self-explanatory (unlike, say, Salesforce). The company is great to deal with and truly cares about their client base and optimizing their product based on feedback. Pricing is reasonable - more than a basic CRM but less than competing platforms like SF or MS. Application has sufficient customization options and API has reached maturity. Database is very logically designed allowing you to build custom reports and manage by exception, create a data driven culture, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

There are certain limitations that appear to be a result of legacy code - eg, the security cannot be as granular as competing platforms and workflows aren't as complex in nature (even when overlapping with "tracks") as some of the competition's offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

At the end of the day, there isn't really anything "better" out there yet. Competitors are trying very hard to take the good of ConnectWise, and eliminate the pitfalls that it has. Some are getting very close, I hope this drives ConnectWise to make some major changes in the very near future because we really do not want to have to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise PSA solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a great piece of software for managing, tracking, and reporting on tickets in a service environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

The features of connectwise is amazing. The funtionality it provides it beyond amazing. It is a bit complex at first but the ability to navigate through its windows takes some getting used to. Connectwise university was a very helpful feature. The ticketing feature is absolutely it's best feature. It also has the ability to store contacts and passwords under a company and that was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

There were certain times when I was saving records that hitting save did not work and all the data I input was not saved causing me to have to input it again. The program otherwise was much better than anything I have used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Try it and you'll love it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ConnectWise PSA solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ticking system was the issue and this provides the solution to that issue. This is one of the better ticketing systems that I have seen and it abilities are very wide and has a lot of potential. The abilites of connectwise allow you to store username and passwords under different companies and store multiple records under said account which is very helpful and when needing to reference one of them it is quick and easy to find.
