Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Manage

We use ConnectWise Manage on a daily basis. We use it to enter everything that we do, from project plans to password resets. We also create quotes through it. It helps us manage our daily schedule using the built in and customizable workflows. Every one of our 21 employees use it. The Outlook calendar integration helps us schedule our days and techs also.
  • Workflows to automatically do things for you, thus leaving out the need for a person to manually make changes and updates.
  • Scheduling works well.
  • Quoting from opportunities to invoicing works well.
  • The reporting is horrendous. Basic reports require some pretty hefty scripting.
  • Updates could be handled better.
  • One of my biggest issues is that if a workflow isn't working, there is no way to know until it's too late and a client asks for status.
  • Accurate time tracking
  • Better staffing
  • Greater efficiency especially on larger projects
We used to use Commit. While it was good. Connectwise manage is better as far as keeping track of things and being able to automate a lot of things so that we dont have to remember to do it. Takes the human error out of a lot of issues. We also went with it because we were able to purchase it outright and run it in-house.
ConnectWise Manage works well for medium to larger businesses who require precision and scheduling. It's good for a growing MSP. It's also really good if you have a dispatcher who will schedule things for the techs automatically. This only works if you know precisely how long the jobs will take. Probably less appropriate if your job times differ.
