    I think Pylon is great for startups who are figuring out where they want to interact and how they want to interact with their customers. Pylon is also great for beginner account management in terms of keeping track of comms, usage, tickets, and a bit more. Overall, I think Pylon will scale nicely it just takes a bit of time to configure all (lots) of settings.I don't think Pylon is well-suited for teams who don't know much about support operations. The tool has so many great features an they ship super fast, but the product itself isn't very opinionated and the amount of options sometimes can be overwhelming

    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.

    Usability
    Pylon
    Overall, the UI is awesome and super intuitive. The features makes sense and everything is customizable to your liking. You don't need to create copies of filters, because the changing of filters on one saved few is THAT easy, which is something we love. Additionally, whenever we go to look for a capability or day dream about something... Pylon usually has it or its in the works. Only reason its not a 10 is that it can be overwhelming that it has everything, but a food problem to have

    Too expensive for what it is and the lack of support and bug fixes is annoying

    Alternatives Considered
    Pylon
    After evaluating both platforms, we chose Pylon for its superior user experience and deeper integration capabilities. Unlike Zendesk's frustrating UI and limited customization options, Pylon offered seamless integration with our existing tools like Salesforce, Linear, and PagerDuty, while allowing our team to stay within familiar Slack interfaces. The multi-channel notification system and AI-powered features like article generation provided the modern support infrastructure we needed, eliminating the complex rules and automations that made Zendesk cumbersome. Pylon's robust analytics and broadcast features also gave us valuable insights into customer engagement, making it the clear choice for streamlining our support workflows while enhancing both team efficiency and customer satisfaction.

    • 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.
