It has made providing quotes easier.
Speed of quotes on a very complex product of WIFI networks for hotels based on construction types and brand standards for acceptable WIFI.
Pros
I like how customers can sign and pay online. However, the signing process is confusing for customers on the steps of what to fill next so the transaction is successful. I sometimes have to guide the customer, because there are no clear Step 1, Step 2, etc., guides.
Cons
I hate the process to make and use template messaging for my quotes. I want a real library of click-easy template messaging I can select after I publish the quote. Also, I find it soooooo frustrating to have an error in Quosal, but will not tell the cause!!! For example, our ConnectWise Admin selected some products to make inactive. The unit sold was the same but the parts to build it where changing. It would have been nice to have Quosal tell us why the mysterious error. This wasted a lot of valuable time.

It's ebbed and flowed.. the things that work are great, the things that don't, well, aren't.
The Dell import tool is probably my favorite (when it works - it's spotty). That's definitely been a time saver.
Pros
Presentation. We get comments all the time about how great our quotes look. Definitely an improvement from our last quoting tool.
Cons
It's not very user friendly, not very intuitive, it's hard to import pricing catalogs (mostly because it's hard to get that information from vendors who don't have the integration), the user restrictions aren't what I think they should be, there are a lot of things we should be able to customize on our own that we can't (so we incur extra costs), etc.

Sell
I have been using Sell for almost 3 years
Pros
It is web-based so you can use it wherever you are at. The design is intuitive and easy to learn, yet complex enough to do very customizable things. It integrates with leasing providers (e.g. Great America) so you can include leasing options. You can create a quote template for common items quote out, this saves A LOT of time! I love this feature.
Cons
I could never get a Dell quote to import. It might be a training issue, but it would save a lot more time if this feature worked better.

Overall, this works well for us. We've had this in place for about 3-4 years now.
Ability to get quick approvals through online approvals.
Pros
I like the etilize feature to pull in product and descriptions from distributors, as well as the quote format and the ability to approve online.
Cons
It seems like I get a lot of random glitches, where the page needs to reload or I get errors, etc. Also, there seems to be a lot of steps/boxes to make sure that are set properly. This can be confusing and frustrating to a user that is new to the software. Sometimes I also have issues with customer comments showing up, etc.

Great Features and (with effort) a streamlined sales experience
Streamlined Sales Process, better knowledge of client interest. 24 hour sales approval process. Automation.
Pros
The Web-based solution enables us to quote from anywhere, and collaborate more easily than a filesystem based solution.
Cons
Marketing for ConnectWiseSell... I wish we could simply have a masked URL so that we could send out sell.ourdomainname.com for quotes. I don't need or want competitors and clients to see which quoting package I use. Customizing reports / forms / layouts requires a PhD and or an hourly engagement with Quosal / Sell...

Sell, sell, sell
Pros
We used to host in country and have since moved to their hosted version on Azure. We have multiple templates that we've customized, dependent on service and partner we use. Tracking is very easy and we can get accurate reporting, if used correctly by the end users. With the clients not having to print any documents, the sales cycle is also closed a lot quicker.
The integration is great with ConnecWise Manage
Cons
Initial setup is quite difficult, especially with customization. End user input is critical for accurate reporting. Not good as a stand alone option, so quite pricey when taking the complete ConnectWise package.

Phenomenal tool - excellent people - quality solution
I have been in the industry for 30 years. The work, thoughtfulness and technical strength of the Quosal team is unparalleled. This solution has made a massive difference in my business - and I am so appreciative for everything that they have done and continue to do in order to support our efforts. There is no solution that even closely mirrors this one.
Pros
Consistency and predictability of quote and proposal creation and delivery

Sell is my homepage
I’d like to see an expansion to the trophies/achievements area. I’m capped at 600! Also, I find myself struggling within the fields if it’s a large quote with a lot of products. The quote takes some time to upload and changes don’t always save on the fly.
Pros
It’s super easy to use Love manage integration
Cons
The glitches from time to time. Random updates

Great system with a lot of features
Pros
We use ConnectWise to integrate with our NetSuite business system. The system allows us to add important information to our quotations and give them an extremely professional look than we would get with our business system.
Cons
The only thing I did not like was that there are updates made to the product and we aren't always notified of the changes.

Great product.
Streamlined our sales process completely
Pros
We could not do business without ConnectWise Sell. We love the workflow aspect and integration with ConnectWise sales orders and procurement.
Cons
The Achieve area is useless for us. I would much prefer to be able to customize the notifications are with the notifications that are important to us.

Leader in the industry. Connectwise Sell has all the features you need for MSP Sales.
Connectwise Sell allows us to build and manage quotes online without having to be in the office. It has all the same realtime features as the other major player in the market (Quotewerks) and with tight integration into the Connectwise ecosystem it's a no-brainer for existing Connectwise customers.
Pros
Tight integration with Connectwise and Real-time lookups for pricing and product availability make Connectwise Sell very powerful.
The entire platform is web-based so you can access it from anywhere making the quoting process seamless and easy no matter where you're working from. It's just as effective from Starbucks as it is from your office.
Cons
The UI is a bit outdated. Some of the features are a little hidden in the UI and unless you know where they are at it can take some getting used to.
Currently there is a problem with back-end connectivity resetting causing you to lose your work. Be sure to save often because it happens several times throughout the day and can get very frustrating.

Connectwise is the rising star of professional services automation and management tools.
Pros
flexible and customizable, integration with sales process beginning to take off, support is excellent
Cons
Sales integration is horrible. This tool could be the best thing since sliced bread if you get that working. I would be happy to be contacted to help with more input on that.

Quosal is great
I use sell in the browser on Mac and iPad, its pretty good, there are something that would be nice better subtotals for instance on tabs like I can't see the total cost, margin, net for the hardware tab, which will be different than the service tab
Pros
Quotes and order porter are great
Cons
A bit clunky to use sometimes. Has issues on iOS.

ConnectWise Sell has changed the way we deliver proposals
Standardized our proposals. Stopped low margin deals. Helped us automate approval process.
Pros
We now have standardized proposals with up to date pricing and current T&Cs. We no longer worry about custom contracts floating around out there with conditions we all forget about until the client reminds us.
Cons
Complex to setup but given what it does and how powerful it is, totally worth it. Once we got it configured it was easier to use.

Once I got over the high learning curve, I found a product in SELL that has transformed our business
Pros
I really enjoy how it integrates well with ConnectWise Manage on a mostly one-to-one basis. Opportunities in Manage can be converted directly to quotes, retaining all the most relevant customer data and information!
Cons
You wouldn't think so just by glancing at it but the learning curve is steep and it really puts off a lot of our employees at first when they initially gain access to the program.

Quosal Review
Not a bad product though we would prefer the Support Staff have the ability to remote in or CALL in order to better diagnose issues. The QUOTE button on the Opp page still does not work, FYI. :)
Pros
It's integration with ConnectWise
Cons
Difficulty of creating new Templates as it relates to customization. Quote Forms are not end user friendly

Quick response to my question
Tracking Customer service and sales. Quoting products and services for New and Existing Dental Offices.
Pros
I am able to navigate easily through the system and connect my tasks to my time entries and updates.
Cons
The software can be slow in response at times. Could updates be done after hours? Friday is our slowest day of the week so after 3:00 pm would be the best time for us.

Better Options - Avoid
Just like another reviewer i had to purchase $1200 worth of training along with a $200 monthly payment. Essentially i paid $400 a month for the first year. The trainers were friendly but the training was confusing. After the training your on your own, i had and still do have many problems but i have pretty much given up on this product. There are much better options out there. I would recommend avoiding this product unless you have a dedicated development team that can help you customize it and repair it when it breaks.
Pros
Finished product looks nice. Ability to integrate credit cards into a quote.
Cons
Tech support after the training is horrible, seconds to get a auto response and days to get a human being to talk to you. Every time i did get someone to talk to me they acted like they were doing me a favor, then after a few calls i was told i needed to purchase more training to help me with me product needs which were VERY basic. Im still using Quosal and doubt ill be able to get any money back but the whole operation in my opinion is sloppy, my credit card processing has not worked in months and there is NO PHONE NUMBER to call these people for support. You must open a ticket up and talk them into calling you which is a huge pain. If im paying 200+ a month for something i should be able to pick up the phone and get some support. I feel ripped off and would highly recommend avoiding this company due to bad service after the sale.

Strong Platform
We used to create quotes from scratch using MS Word. Since we have moved to Quosal and created custom templates, our productivity has reached new levels. We can quote common products in a matter of minutes which also have accurate pricing. There is some to be desired but it's clear to us that the Quosal team is dedicated to progressing the product.
Pros
Ease of Use, Templates are very flexible
Cons
Errors we encounter are difficult to understand.
