Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Manage

We use ConnectWise Manage to run our entire managed services business. We use ConnectWise to invoice, purchase, ticket, schedule, dispatch, and manage our customers and more.
  • ConnectWise technical support staff are the best I've ever experienced in my 20+ years in IT!!
  • CW Manage provides an MSP with all the necessary tools to run the entire business. nothing is left out.
  • CW Manage integrations with other MSP applications is very broad. when we look for new tools we only use those that integrate and we've never had a problem finding them.
  • CW Manage continues to improve the product. always pushing forward with new innovations!
  • I wish that bundled items could be added to agreement additions.
  • I would like to see the "agr_header_recid" field added to the agreement list screen.
  • We have near perfect visibility into time/resouce per client
  • We have a much higher degree of control and visibility of costs
  • Operational efficiency has improved by roughly 33%
No other products we've experienced even comes close to CW.
CWM is well suited to all aspects of a managed service provider's business.

No - with basic support i'm able to figure out what I need to get done.
exceptional support in my mind describes the connectwise support culture as a whole not just one support instance. Anyone can do an exceptional job every so often but few organizations can deliver exceptional support consistently. Connectwise sets the standard for application support!

Yes - great for basic tasks but as a manager I'd like to be able to do a bit more. for instance quite often we will forward emails from clients into CWM which makes it necessary to change the company on the ticket. it's not possible to do this with the mobile app.

ConnectWise Manage Reliability

we do experience periods of slowness from time to time.
