ConnectWise Documentation vs NetBox

ConnectWise Documentation is a web-based IT documentation product, formerly called ITBoost, that brings customer knowledge bases and device information into one shared system. Its centralized knowledge base includes built-in best practices for access across a business. Cloud integrations gather customer asset data, creating an up-to-date asset picture without manual collection. VoIP integrations can show technicians caller details, previous contact, linked assets, and related knowledge-base articles. Teams can define standard operating procedures and use runbook support to standardize work. A password vault provides user access controls and password reports with audit-trail information. Documentation integrates with ConnectWise PSA, ConnectWise Automate, and Reports and Dashboards, formerly BrightGauge. ConnectWise PSA partners can enable it inside PSA to begin onboarding synchronization. The product serves IT documentation needs, including managed service providers. It runs on the web, offers a free trial without obligation or credit card, and uses customized pricing requested through ConnectWise sales.
