Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Manage

It is being used in both of our offices by all departments. It addresses our need to track tickets, inventory, purchasing, and documentation.

Pros

  • Keeps track of tickets with all their documentation and attachments and configurations.
  • Has 2-factor authentication for increased security.
  • Very good uptime, almost never goes down.

Cons

  • When we enabled their new text formatting system for ticket notes, the whole system ground to a crawl.
  • Support could be a little faster on their response times.
  • It will randomly take a while to load tickets, purchase orders, etc. Not often, maybe once every couple of weeks.
  • It's helped us immensely with inventory tracking with its ability to serialize and run procurement reports. Less lost product
  • It has helped us to integrate our new office an hour away. Cloud-based means we're both sharing the same database with ease. Allowing us to grow together and coordinate the office with shared resources.
ConnectWise Manage is better than all of them. It's more complete and has a consistent interface across all of its modules. Very easy to filter and find data with Views. I like that it has its own program too, not just a website. I think the program is essentially like a mini web browser anyways, but I like to have it separated out from the rest of my web stuff.
ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect), ConnectWise Automate (formerly LabTech), Intermedia Unite, Webroot Endpoint Protection, Acronis Backup Cloud, Ubiquiti Networks UniFi, CloudBerry Backup, Barracuda Email Security Service, Adobe Acrobat DC
It is great for tracking a high volume of tickets, purchase orders, and inventory. I don't like the project side of the ticketing system. There doesn't seem to be a lot of visual graphs or anything to see at a quick glance of what projects are in progress, when they are scheduled, due, etc.
