What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

The QuickBooks integration and invoice creation is great. Time intensive to set up correctly and smoothly, and takes a lot of work to set up the GL, but once it's all set up, it's great to click click and have invoices populated in Quickbooks.

timesheet and ticket calculations - these can be complex multipliers, and Connectwise set up is time intensive, but again, once it's set up, it's a simple click.

Service Agreement specifications - easily changes and customized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

very finicky and picky. There are a lot of settings and usage requirements that require checking small boxes that are easily missed, or easily blend in with fields and veiws.

There is no 'save preferences' or 'lock access' features on the technician entry side, there a lot of reviewing and editing is required by the billing department to eliminate errors initiated by the technicians.

There's no easy way to bill half a project upfront, and bill the rest once the work is done on the same project ticket and invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

This product feels a bit clunky, and the timesheet - technician tracking would be better if it looped into payroll reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Solving the issue of billing across different rates, agreements, discounts, and specifications unique to each client.

Also maintaining consistent billing despite different types of service agreements that are past, present, and future.

Connectwise saves a huge amount of time for the billing department in calculating bi-monthly billing for technician timesheet and service ticket time entries. Invoice creation and Quickbooks integration has a huge effect on efficiency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

ConnectWise brings a lot of functionality to a single location so that users are not having to search all over the place for information. The acquisition of Labtech and Sell was especially good for our company as we use both of these products for sales and support. ConnectWise provides easy access to great resources to help train staff and increase product knowledge.

The screenconnect feature has improved our ability to work more effectively with our clients. Integration with Automate helps us track client assets, manage the hardware lifecycle, and make recommendations for improvements based on alerts between the systems. Ticket templates help new employees onboard more quickly because they can easily tell what tasks they need to complete and what parties need to be involved. Tracks enable us to easily communicate information, create tickets and automate various other processes with a single click of a button which is a huge time saver for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

The Procurement module desperately needs to be revamped. It seems as though it was designed by individuals that have never been part of the procurement process or involved in inventory management. Perhaps it works better for small offices, but for those trying to utilize the module with multiple locations it is a full time job. Sell's new electronic ordering may help address some issues, but until batch ordering is made available it is still not a great solution for larger organizations that ship to multiple offices. Creating workflows for this module is also difficult. Standard board properties do not apply and you are limited to what you can use. There is no audit trail that we have been able to find to verify whether a workflow setup for Procurement items is actually triggering rather than asking the people that should be receiving notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ConnectWise helps us have a complete client history in a single location from the ground up. Everything from sales, procurement, finance and support. Not only can we use the system to manage tickets, our clients can also have access so there is transparency about what we are working on for them. This access also always them to create their own tickets without waiting on hold in a queue. Implementing workflows, tracks and templates helps us to automate work that has historically been taken care through a manual process, means our team has more time to focus on supporting our clients rather than completing tedious tasks.
