What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

Everything!! I purchased on premise ConnectWise over 6 years ago and it transformed my company!

It really does pay for itself in found revenue. Time gets put into the system and invoiced! I always believed in documentation of service which stop clients objections to dollar amounts on invoices so it took us a very long time to write up the service, format it, email it to the client from Word.

ConnectWise solved all our issues with documentation of tickets and configurations.

I can see engineers weekly time at a glance

Everything is done in ConnectWise from purchasing to invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

Where you input your time in a ticket does not have the client phone number and I always open my time entry right before I call the client and forget to get the phone number first.

Seriously that is all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Bring all your department heads into the implementation. Do the training!!! Think thru all settings. Some things can not be changed in the future so you need to make the right decisions in the beginning. There are a couple user fields that I wish we had not used the way we did but they now have data in them so I can't change them.

Look at what other applications you use and see if they integrate with ConnectWise.

Look for vendors that integrate with ConnectWise it will make your billing, agreements and reporting awesome!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tracking service trends, maintaining client vendor information and client users passwords.

We captured more billable time and increased our revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there are a lot of parts to it - and it's tough to know it all. trying to get help is a challenge sometimes. I don't like the contracts and license commitments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

It makes my business run smoother. It handles everything from customer ticket entry to tracking technician time and invoicing. It's absolutely catching time that used to fall through the cracks! Once you buy it, you can't imagine how you survived before! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

It's EXPENSIVE, and they are working hard to get you with add-on features that often cost more than they benefit the business. They advertise it as a product that could replace a person, and it can.... except that you have to have a person spending a ton of time in CW to make it run smoothly, negating some of the productivity savings...

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

It's a huge time commitment, and it won't make you money on day one. If you never plan to grow past 4-5 employees, there are probably smaller products that will do everything you need. If you want to be a 10+ man IT business, then this is pretty much the best product in the space...

Kind of like Comcast - when it works it's great... but occasionally they are the vendor we love to hate!

If you go the CW route, make sure to buy a large implementation support package! You'll need it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It organized our business and allowed us to grow beyond a small company with 2 or 3 tech's into a company with defined sales and service personnel, using one application to share data about our clients! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

I had worked with AutoTask before and though it took me a little while to get used to the navigation this is very user friendly. I like the ease of search and some of the sales funnel features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

The Customer section. When creating new customers and opportunities this platform is not as intuitive as AutoTask. The design could use some work too. We work out of Salesforce for the majority of opportunities because of this and utilize this for the last mile per se (From signature as a client and beyond). This causes some double entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

The price is right but you will want to demo this to make sure it delivers everywhere you would expect it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This gives us a snapshot of our funnel while managing expenses, clients, etc. It is nice to have a large portion in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

It was somewhat easy to use. My former organization used it to track time, collect customer data and share it throughout the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

It was a bit clunky. The mobile application was not fully integrated into the main code at the time, a couple of years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At the time I was working at a consulting organization. We used it for tracking consultant's time to bill to our customers as well as tracking customer information and project data. I believe we also used it for billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

The one-stop shop of functionality and ability to automate tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

Not being able to view 15-minute appointments on any of the calendars. As a result, we have to schedule everything in 30-minute increments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

ConnectWise is the leader in the PSA market and as a result vendors want to integrate their products with CW. We only work with vendors that have CW integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Making it easier to support our clients by allowing us to house all their data in one place. By having procurement and service invoicing from the same software package we are more efficient than using multiple applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

That I can be in connectwise all day and the close loop implementation.

First thing I do in the morning (after a cup of coffee) is I open up conenctwise desktop app which works perfectly for touch on my surface pro 4. I have it auto open my service board on all new incoming tickets or ones that clients have responded to and start going through that closed loop.

We just implemented the Tech calendar feature that imports our Exchange Appointments to help us better direct incoming requests. Having a tab view of tickets in the service board, My timesheet, Calendar all open and easy to access is a huge time saver. There's so much to like here about connectwise i could go on. I came from Autotask which was good, but with the integration into our other IT related tools either pushing data to connectwise or pulling it definitely takes the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

Right now the only real problem I have with it is sometimes the view of the service board gets a bit misaligned. With so much information and moving to and from columns, sometimes what you view isn't appropriate to the column you're seeing.

One big gripe is the APP. I'm on android and its pretty much garbage. No way to sort the tickets, Its cramped and is unstable. This could be such a great thing as a tech who's always on the field going from client to client it seems like they dropped the ball big on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Go through the training. It's long and boring and at times the cartoons are just annoying.

Honestly, its going to save you so much time in the long run and will help you better understand the product and the terminology.

Start thinking about using scripts built into it. There's some thats really great like waiting on client response and having it auto remind that client that tends to ignore the emails. Then closing it out after the warning.

You want a nice and clean service board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the issue of having too many clients for such a small IT company. We service about 40 clients with only 4 techs. It gets over whelming. Connectwise has been able to keep us on top of things. Helped us transition into their program. And has made us better as far as documenting and covering our butts with the tougher clients.

Having a paper trail that's as detailed and how it keeps the client informed every step of the way has been a life saver. Theres so much to like here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lesley Meunier of ConnectWise PSA

Hi Matthew. Thanks for the feedback about our app. We are always working to improve our offering to our partners, and our mobile app is one that we hope to grow and better as quick as possible. Please feel free to contact a member of our team if you have additional feedback or issues.

What do you like best about ConnectWise PSA?

I like that Connectwise keeps all of our clients, sales, and data in perfect order. We can pull reports to see what opportunities for software are available as well as keep leads in a position to keep constant contact and record. I also LOVE the integration with Quosal for our proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ConnectWise PSA?

I have very little issue with Connectwise however sometimes the customer help tends to be lengthy. If I push chat sometimes it seems like some of their customer service people arent sure what I am talking about and I can't post pictures in the chat. That can be frustrating but they do give you their personal email so that is fine. Just could be better I guess :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ConnectWise PSA:

Connectwise has CW University and there is an endless amount to learn so never stop taking classes and reaching out. They have a lot to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Biggest benefit for me recently is integration from Quosal to CW. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
