"Invaluable Time-Saving Tool with Powerful Automation"
What do you like best about Syncro?

We use Syncro every day to manage about 250 Windows Servers. Our goal with the RMM is to be able to resolve issues on the machine, and issues with our vertical market application hosted on that machine. What Syncro offers that is most helpful to meet our goals is the ability to run PowerShell scripts on the machine for management and remediation. Of particular importance to us is the ability to use the syncro API to file alerts, and then those alerts trigger PowerShell scripts on run on the remote machine to remediate particular issues. This has been an invaluable asset to our organization and has saved us tremendous amounts of time (and time==money ;) ). Additionally the system was easy to implement and integrate into our organization's management systems with the use of Syncro's API...we easily created scripts and routines in our internal management system to manage customers and assets in Syncro. Onboarding new customers/assets is a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

In the early years of using Syncro we encountered issues with scheduled scripts not getting executed on the asset. Customer support was very helpful in informing us of the problems and letting us know when to expect fixes. This problem has been fixed and its been a couple years since the last episode of this issue. More recently, the interface for the remote management tools has been updated and functionality has changed a little. I have not kept myself informed of Syncro's publised change logs so I am not sure if these changes are listed. It did take us a bit to find the workarounds for the changes.

"Effortless Billing and Powerful Configuration Make Teams Edition Stand Out"
What do you like best about Syncro?

Billing is a breeze. I set up my clients and pricing once, and now it runs automatically. No more end-of-month headaches. I get paid on time, and the invoices look clear and professional.

It's powerful when you need it to be. You can dig in and set up really detailed automations and policies. It lets me customize everything to fit our team's exact workflow without being complicated.

The Teams feature is a game-changer. Having a dedicated screen that just shows my team's tickets is awesome. We all know what everyone is working on at a glance, so nothing gets missed. It keeps us perfectly in sync.

Overall, it's the perfect mix of simple and powerful. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

occasion issues with screen connect on mac devices but overall very good. wish there were some auto entries like templated comments with ticket actions but that is only major change i would request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

thanks Peter! appreciate the kind words here and it sounds like you've got Syncro firing on all cylinders with powerful automation and custom configs for your team.

"My personal experience and honest review."
What do you like best about Syncro?

I have been using Syncro for the past 6 years and the reason I switched was the pricing structure. We use Syncro for our Internal IT and we utilize Ticketing, Invoicing, Products and Services as well as Purchase Orders. Syncro is constantly evolving and adding more features as the years go by. Within the last few years this has significantly accelerated. So far I am extremely happy and do not plan on moving away from Syncro any time soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

I would like to do more automation with incoming tickets but have found there is a number of automation functions missing and cannot fully do everything I would like at this time. I have been told that this will be added to the roadmap, so I will patiently wait for this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks for the review and for being a long-time user of Syncro! appreciate the great feedback here and you've no doubt seen quite a bit of evolution and growth in the platform over the last several years.

"User-Friendly and Efficient for Daily IT Support"
What do you like best about Syncro?

I really find Syncro easy to use, which significantly enhances my workflow. Its user-friendly nature is a standout, making it straightforward for new users to grasp and operate the system efficiently. I'm particularly impressed with Syncro's capacity to solve computer-related issues for a large number of users without direct intervention, thanks to its remote access features. This functionality allows me to access the File Explorer of users' computers from the back end seamlessly, avoiding any disruption to their work. The remote function, which I use daily, stands as the most beneficial aspect. Additionally, the scripting feature is invaluable as it allows me to run scripts that solve issues without disturbing our end users. The invoicing feature is another helpful tool, providing me with the capability to monitor purchases effectively. Overall, these features collectively save time and streamline my tasks enormously.

"Efficient Client Management , Remote Support with Minor Hiccups"
What do you like best about Syncro?

I really appreciate Syncro's different features that help me manage my clients efficiently. The ability to set device policies and settings, alerts that notify me about important actions, and tools for managing multiple clients make my job much smoother. I particularly love the scripting part as it helps manage things easily, and the remote support capability is incredibly useful. Additionally, the ticketing system and its features, like adding items and remoting into device alerts, are very useful. I also enjoy using it with Splashtop for remote management, and the customer relation management aspects including asset management and alert, policies are very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

I find it quite challenging to configure different user permissions effectively. My boss has been trying to figure out my user account permissions for a long time, and yet I still cannot access certain aspects of the platform properly. This makes it quite annoying since some essential features remain out of reach, affecting my workflow. Furthermore, the backgrounding tools that I initially found useful have become increasingly unreliable over time. They don't consistently work, which is frustrating. Although I reached out to customer support to resolve these reliability issues, I did not have much success, which adds to the frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks Mahmood! Appreciate your support and the great review here, it sounds like you're leveraging a lot of what Syncro has to offer and getting some great results.

Please let us know if we can be more helpful with user permissions and roles; I believe we've made some improvements there in the last several months and can try to work with you to dial in the particular use cases or configurations you're looking for. I'll also pass your fdbk about backgrounding tools to the team, it's always helpful and of course we're always looking at ways to improve reliability and consistency of various features.

"Syncro takes many once separate systems and stuffs them into one umbrella"
What do you like best about Syncro?

Being able to check information about an asset (such as a users Windows laptop), deploy software and scripts to it, and hop in remotely over Splashtop has been absolutely amazing for our team's productivity. Support is also quick to respond and knowledgable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

While it is good at doing multiple things, it doesn't excel at anything in particular. Ticket searching for example can only search subjects, which is less than helpful. It also has limited inventory capabilities for non Windows/Mac devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks for the review, Joseph! love to see these productivity benefits and that you're also getting great help from our support team when you need it.

on the ticketing side, we have made some search improvements there including the addition of a 'smart search' field which should pull in comments in addition to subject. feel free to reach out if you'd like a walkthrough or if those results aren't working as expected :)

"Flawless Platform, Strategic Community"
What do you like best about Syncro?

I love using Syncro for managing our infrastructure because it provides valuable insights into the overall environment and alerts us to critical issues, which allows us to address potential threats proactively. The involvement of the Syncro team and its community is impressive, as there are multiple webinars and communications with end users sharing their experiences and insights about using the platform and updates on new releases. Syncro effectively complements our security and network monitoring systems, providing a cohesive solution. The transition from separate tools like TeamViewer and Solarwinds to Syncro for remote support and ticketing has streamlined our processes under a single platform, enhancing efficiency. Moreover, the initial setup of Syncro was remarkably simple; it guides you through the process, and the document center provides all necessary information. This ease of use and comprehensive support system makes Syncro a standout choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

I would like more control over reporting in Syncro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks so much for the kind words, Edward! the team here has been investing a lot of time + effort into the areas you've highlighted: our partner community, monthly release webinars and product updates, doc center, and more. It's great to hear you're taking advantage of all of it and finding everything valuable. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to continuing to support your business.

"Effortless Automation with Reliable Updates"
What do you like best about Syncro?

I really appreciate how easy it was to set up Syncro. This simplicity was valuable to me and allowed me to smoothly transition from another product. One of the standout aspects of Syncro is its powerful automation capabilities, such as installing antivirus software and running scripts for various tasks like enabling Num Lock at boot or disabling unwanted Windows features. These automation tools help me stay on top of tickets efficiently and save a lot of my time by handling repetitive tasks. I particularly find the Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) functionality extremely useful. The scripting feature in the RMM capability is particularly valuable as it enables me to push out all settings and programs with just one click. This includes tasks like installing Huntress or enabling programs to run in safe mode, which significantly streamlines my workflow. Furthermore, I benefit from Syncro's ability to pull all important information from a computer, and its seamless integration with BitDefender is another asset - automating the deployment into its account saves me effort. The continued updates ensure that Syncro remains a reliable part of my toolkit, and my positive experience is such that I would rate it a perfect 10, making it highly likely that I would recommend it to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

I would like more automation capabilities in Syncro, especially concerning the installation and activation of programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks for the great review, Isaac! So great to hear that Syncro is delivering the core capabilities you need to operate efficiently and get important work done quickly. Appreciate all of your specific callouts too, super helpful for others who are potentially considering the platform.

Thanks for your partnership and don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to share specific ideas about additional automation or installation capabilities you're interested in!

"Highly Effective for Task Management, But Needs UX Tweaks"
What do you like best about Syncro?

I appreciate Syncro's capacity to track and report tickets efficiently, which helps prioritize tasks daily, weekly, and monthly. The updates have significantly improved the usability, making it easier to navigate and almost second nature. I love the powerful scripting capabilities that automate upgrades and tasks without disrupting work, such as scheduling Windows 11 updates. Syncro seamlessly integrates with platforms like Sentinel, aiding in quick malware resolution. The tools are stellar, enhancing client interaction and streamlining processes, which makes Syncro highly recommendable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncro?

I find the initial setup process cumbersome, particularly with locating links and accessing specific items. Although updates and webinars have improved usability, initially knowing what links are for what and how to access certain features, like scheduling deployments and scripts, was challenging. Additionally, the placement of buttons and the user interface can be confusing. It's not always clear where specific items are located, and it doesn't always adhere to the 'three-click rule,' meaning navigation sometimes takes longer than it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brandon Garcin of Syncro

thanks for the review, Victor! Great feedback here and awesome to hear that Syncro is adding value to so many parts of your operations.

Appreciate the feedback re: onboarding and setup too, and glad it wasn't a barrier to being successful with the platform. We'll continue to look for ways to sharpen up that documentation and make sure folks can hit the ground running when they first get started!
