If you want a value for money full system, which you could use out of the box then this is the one for you. If you want a system that can take care of tasks then this is the one for you. [HaloITSM] is easily scalable with very competitive pricing. New features are added regularly based on best practices and customer requirements.

SyncroMSP is great for MSPs starting out or wanting to keep their costs low. Some RMM software will charge per install - and price breaks only available as your base grows to a significant number. As Syncro is a "per agent" cost, the costs for an MSP are (a) known and (b) easily to manage as the team grows. The third-party integration element is very useful for MSPs looking to be able to not only onsell additional services, but the management of these services is simple for anybody to use

Pros
Halo Service Solutions
  • The Self Service Portal is very easy to configure and the end-users have commented on how easy it is to log and manage their own calls.
  • Asset and User Management works very well and it is simple to link them to tickets. Looking up ticket history for particular Users or Assets is also very useful.
  • The ability [to] use different ticket types and templates is fantastic. The added ability to merge and clone tickets is also a great benefit.

  • Due to the cloud based platform, we could scale the based on our needs relatively with ease.
  • We also utilized the auto billing features which were convenience.
  • The consolidation of both RMM and RSA decreased the amount of software we needed.
  • Also, the user friendliness of the platform allowed employees to use easy.

Cons
Halo Service Solutions
  • Support for M365 \ Power Platform, Power Bi reporting in particular
  • Feel the asset management side of the product is not as good as the ticket management
  • Support is excellent but maybe an old school user forum where other admins can share and discuss ideas

I've made overall positive experiences with the Halo support. The only thing to increase would be some follow ups on feature requests. If someone would reach out to me, telling me wheter or not my feature request will be considered in future updates or not.

Return on Investment
Halo Service Solutions
  • It enabled us to allow our Service Desk Staff to work from home during COVID and this has continued ever since.
  • We have halved our average resolution time.
  • Some of the automation processes, when implemented alongside the MS Power Platform, have saved approximately 30 hours a month. This includes times when customers were unable to access the system until they had been trained. This is now automated via Halo and they get sent to on-demand training, instead of waiting up to 3 weeks for the next scheduled session.

  • The integrated AV solution with Bitdefender is very cheap - yet very a very high quality NGAV solution. It allows us to ensure our clients have access to an NGAV solution at an affordable price
  • Syncro has allowed us to expend our business into new areas which were not able to be accessed previously. This means that we can now service our clients in different ways than previously.
  • The fixed cost pricing allows our teams to understand what their costs are - but also allow us to grow the business and customer base with no increase in costs until we increase our technical team.
