When ConnectWise is the right choice

We're not for everyone. Here's when you should stick with ConnectWise:

  • You need RMM integration. ConnectWise Automate and ScreenConnect are tightly integrated. We don't offer RMM.
  • You need asset management. Tracking hardware, endpoints, and configurations isn't our thing.
  • You're already invested. If your team has spent months learning ConnectWise and you've customized it heavily, switching has a cost.

But if you're a professional services firm that needs fast, modern PSA without the bloat—that's exactly what we built.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you need RMM integration (ConnectWise Automate, ScreenConnect), ConnectWise is the right choice. Vantage doesn't offer RMM—we focus on doing PSA exceptionally well.
