We use it daily and couldn't live without it!

We run our entire business out of Autotask. It does everything for us as an MSP.

PROS

Autotask is about automation. It makes ticketing and billing processes standardized and automated. It has become our central repository for information. All service related issues, time spent, contracts, hardware, etc goes in there. I tell my team all the time, "If it doesn't exist in Autotask, it didn't happen."

CONS

Autotask support has historically been difficult, but is getting much better. Reporting is very powerful, but also VERY difficult to get your arms wrapped around it. It isn't something you do on a whim. If you have time to spend with it, you'll get good data. If you don't have time to spend, make sure you pay for some Autotask consulting time to help you.

Good Software... Need Help to understand it

The integration with Datto RMM is a plus. They work hand in hand. I am able to track my clients and time I spend doing tasks down to the minute.

PROS

This software has been great. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I am still learning the ropes, and I am into it for 2 months now. The staff has been very helpful in getting me onboard. I have not used all of my included support call time yet.

CONS

The learning curve is steep. You are only allowed 3 hours of free phone support to get started. Be careful with utilizing it to the fullest.

Reasons for switching to Autotask PSA

There are more features with the Autotask PSA.

Precicom Review

As a PSA system, Autotask is working wonderfully for its ticketing system and contract management.As a user of Autotask PSA, my experience is related to sales only and I don't have many good points for the CRM part. Implantations and Integrations are hard, sales process isn't logical and I even had to patch some intern process to make it work. The CRM moduke should receive more updates to make it simpler and more user friendly.

PROS

Ticketing system is working woderfully.Contract management is easy to use and can profit largely any organisation.Centralized work environnement is usefull.

CONS

CRM is not easy to use compare to other solutions on the market.The UI/UX should be improved, because a lot of actions a user has to take doesn't make any sense (for example : a new web page always pops up when clicking on a field, which creates a lot of pop up pages rapidly and reduces effeciency).Live updates should be available when updating an opportunity.Duplicate opportunities should be available in opportunity search. Also, we should be able to modify opportunity fields in the opportunity search page and not always have to open each opportunity separatly.When creating a new opportunity, the sales process and the name of the company should appear first and be the first fields to edit, not the sales category.Not easy to connect to other platforms, such as Microsoft Suite (except Outlook).We should be able to call and write to clients from the CRM and keep all these interactions in history related to the opportunity.In opportunity search view, we should have more available columns, such as To Do (which should also be editable).

Reason for choosing Autotask PSA

The upper management wants to centralize our sales operations. Since we already used Autotask PSA for tickets and contracts management, it was more intuitive to add the CRM feature.

You get out what you put in

I use Autotask daily to manage projects, tickets, contracts and pull reports required to fulfil my duties. Other than Teams and Outlook, its the platform I rely on most. Autotask is infinitely customisable so almost any business problem can be solved. Workflows allow automated events from notifications to status changes to be configured based on an unlimited list of triggers. Contract management and time entries for billing are a critical component of what MSPs do everyday. We use APIs to solve problems that can't be solved inside Autotask.The project management module is under developed though. Its impossible to view project tasks in a Kanban view and Autotask lacks features common in other platforms to make managing agile projects simple. If Autotask hadn't been so deeply integrated in our organisation, I might well be using something else for managing our projects. The procurement module is similar. Its apparent that the majority of Autotask's development budget is spent on the ticket management system. The knowledgebase section works well, but lacks the UI to make it a go to location for storage of the entire business's knowledge. It would be great to see some AI integration to assist engineers to solve tickets by suggesting fixes based on KB articles.

PROS

Autotask provides a platform that covers almost everything required by an MSP that takes its business seriously. Its infinitely customisable and can be configured to do almost anything. The ticket management system is excellent and the integrated contract and time management features are indispensable for MSPs that sell many different services.

CONS

The user interface is outdated which can make the platform difficult to use and configure. The project management features in Autotask still feel neglected and lack many features now considered to be basic by modern standards. The procurement section is also cumbersome and lacks the flexibility needed by most businesses.
