Reviews, with the buts left in
Sample reviews from the kinds of offices we look after. We kept the ones that point out what we got wrong, because you would find them anyway.
All reviews
-
Managed IT
“Our old provider sent bills we couldn't read. Plainspoken sends a note after every ticket that even I understand. The front desk hasn't lost a morning to the charting system since spring.”
Office manager 18-person dental clinic, St. Vital
-
Cloud and Microsoft 365
“They planned our move to Microsoft 365 around tax season and stuck to it. Files moved in stages, email moved on a Saturday, and nobody lost anything.”
Partner 9-person accounting firm, Osborne Village
-
Network setup
“Wi-Fi in the back of the warehouse finally works. Onboarding took about six weeks instead of four because of our old scanners, but they told us why every week and didn't charge extra.”
Operations manager Distribution warehouse, St. Boniface
-
Managed IT
“They found licence discounts we didn't know we qualified for and set up our volunteers so we can shut off access the day someone leaves.”
Executive director Community nonprofit, West End
-
Network setup
“Big drawing files open quickly now. Luc came in on a Saturday for the switch-over, so Monday was a normal Monday.”
Principal 14-person architecture studio, Exchange District
-
Managed IT
“Not the cheapest quote we got. It was the only one that listed what was NOT included, and that is why we signed.”
Owner 6-person law office, Tuxedo
-
Help desk
“We're an hour out of the city and most fixes happen over a screen share in a few minutes. When they do need to visit, they book it ahead and show up.”
Clinic administrator Physiotherapy clinic, Steinbach
-
Managed IT
“The help desk is great. Our first planning meeting felt a bit like a sales pitch. We said so, and the next one was all about our budget. Better since.”
Office lead Engineering firm, Fort Garry

Wi-Fi for a warehouse that ate signals

Answering the cyber insurance form honestly
- Before
