It is well suited if you are just getting started in the MSP world. It is easy to setup and easy for technicians to understand. Technicians can be trained to use the systems in a matter of just a day. Dashboards help us track our goals and KPIs. ServiceNow works better from a security incident perspective. The mobile client allows you to stay fully connected no matter where you are so when a security incident happens you are in the loop.

  • 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.

Being able to have the cross platform workflows and functionality is key, no more having 8 softwares connected to ConnectWise, but one that does it all will make it way more usable as there's one program, one interface etc. Learning multiple softwares can be hard for some people as people will have a hard time knowing what does what

Hubspot is much more user friendly but there are certain things that hubspot doesnt do such as submitting tickets and looking at history with contact/company.

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.
