CloudBlue PSA vs. N-able MSP Manager

For organizations with 10+ employees, I think it is suitable. Smaller shops might find it overly complex.

It's a good company to grow with because as needs change there are more features available.

• The help desk ticket system is robust and modern.
• Billing & invoicing from Harmony meets all our needs and is easy to use.
• Project management and scheduling features help us stay organized and on schedule.

• Training resources are still a work in progress.
• As a software engineer, I'd like to see a more extensive API

• It is just simply too slow! The web interface requires patience, even when moving between tabs or menu choices. This is by far the biggest detracting element of MSP Manager.
• Input customization -- I would like the settings pages to allow me to customize some input screens, especially the Ticket Entry window. The "Quick Ticket" entry is missing a few key items I want in a trouble ticket, and the full ticket entry window has numerous fields I never use or are always the same, and so it just takes more time and effort than is necessary.
• Both the asset tracking and the knowledge base should be more robust and integrally tied into the RMM console, so that licenses, serial numbers, procedures, network data are quick and simple to access from either interface.

They're good at resolving issues when they arise.

Connectwise was the 600 pound gorilla with lots of features, but it was also the titantic, too big to get out of its own way. We found it too complex to use and too archaic to integrate with. As powerful as it was, it was missing a few key features that a modern PSA like CloudBlue had as a matter of course. CloudBlue feels like the new generation, and so far it's only gotten better as they grow.

MSP Manager is a fully serviced paid option. Spiceworks is a free helpdesk. They both are very useful, but a company can just outgrow Spiceworks.

Incentivized

• It's allowed us to migrate away from home grown solutions to adhere to industry standards and better utilize our engineer's time.
• Quoting new projects and hardware is easier to delegate and vastly more efficient than our previous methods.

Incentivized

• We have had to spend time and resources to create our own reports, as MSP Manager does not have them.
• Searching for a ticket requires scrolling, wasting time
