Automate for Automatic Agreement Updates

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates ConnectWise Automate from other similar products?

Because it's a ConnectWise product, the integration with PSA is going to be better than other tools, there's lots of great tools out there that integrate with PSA but like CPQ, imo and from what I hear, it has the smoothest integration

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Integration to PSA to update agreement numbers

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is a complicated program!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're an engineer, you speak the language but if not, get help implementing it for sure

Pros

Respectful
Effective Service
Caring
Saves Time
