Likelihood to Recommend In my opinion, Datto Autotask is exceptionally complicated to set up, manage, and use on a daily basis. I would think the target market for this product would be someone managing a team of 20 - 50 people, possibly more. In my experience, for it to run properly you will need to dedicate at least half an FTE to running this product in an organization of that size per month. I would not recommend it for companies with less than 10 people or for companies that value quick communication with their clients. I would not recommend it for companies using Datto's RMM product. The integration exists, but it is clearly a bolt-on. They were not developed together and they are slow to talk to each other. Frequently you cannot add details from RMM sessions into the PSA without manually copying the ticket number, and if the ticket is more than a week old, then you can't even find it with the ticket number.

Read full review Pros The graphical calculations on time spent on requests, how long they were open for, who worked on a ticket last. Grouping by priority so you can determine easier what needs to be addressed sooner rather then later. This also helps if Account Management has conversations a technician is not aware of so they can prioritize efficiently. The email updates that are sent out to the technicians so they are aware of upcoming or stale tickets. Read full review SymphonyAI IT Service Management
Network Incident to network inventory mapping and workflow management. Priority, Severity wise SLA management. Integration with other systems like CRM, EMS. Read full review Cons The GUI is a little dated. Some integrations are limited for not being a Datto product. While not as complex to set up as Connectwise, it definitely requires some serious thought during the initial setup. Email processing could offer more options for parsing keywords and allow for more automation. The mobile app is just not worth using in my experience.

Alternatives Considered The portion of Autotask that we've used other companies for prior to using Autotask is the Endpoint Management. The Autotask Endpoint Management (AEM) portal integrates perfectly with their PSA/CRM tools. It's alerting features are much better than the above software as there aren't a bunch of superfluous and unneeded alerts. Instead, it only alerts for things that you specify that you want. Alerts aside, for the PSA/CRM, I don't have much to compare it to as Autotask was the first PSA we tried. It's hard to imagine a PSA having more features or doing a better job than Autotask.
