    The concept of the solution is a good one and in theory, Hornbill Supportworks ITSM is good for incoming inquiries/tickets management. The inquiries can be automatically captured by a user submitting a request, and an email notification is sent to both the Helpdesk team and the customer. The inquiries are then tracked, alerting the team when the SLA is about to be/has been breached. Once the inquiry has been resolved, it notifies all relevant parties, as well as time-stamps the action.

    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

    • 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
    Hornbill
    • The interface is quite hard work, not very visually friendly
    • It all just feels a bit old fashioned and needs a reboot
    • This may be an internal process, but not everyone has access, so quite frequently I have to pick requests up and then take them out of the Supportworks system.

    Return on Investment
    Hornbill
    • The system 'does what it says on the tin' - it captures and helps manage incoming inquiries - so the positive impact is there.
    • However, this is not done in the most intuitive or user-friendly manner. This causes frustration at times.
    • Overall, a single centralized system for managing customer inquiries and requests is paramount for any mid-size business, particularly if this business is service-based

    • 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.
