What Our Clients Are Saying

We hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.

I was pleasantly surprised by VC3’s remote IT support and how well it served our city. We learned the hard way that we needed a vendor that helped us stay secure from ransomware and cyberattacks, update and patch everything constantly, and stay on top of IT issues. With VC3, everything is getting done. You don’t know what you’re missing if you’ve never seen it before—and we hadn’t seen anyone like VC3 before.

With VC3, it’s easy to develop a personal relationship

In addition to VC3’s technical help and expertise, I enjoy the personal relationship aspect of Manage Essentials. Their IT engineers are sweet and dear to me. In the Midwest, many of our business dealings are built on a personal relationship. With VC3, it’s easy to develop a personal relationship with them. It’s not just about equipment and services. With a good personal relationship in place, if things do go wrong with IT, it’s so much easier to communicate about what went wrong. It’s fine when everything’s fine, but it’s when things go wrong—that’s when the personal relationship really comes into play.
